Hoffman, the Recorder of New York City, beat Republican nominee and businessman Marshall Owen Roberts, as well as two other Democratic candidates, John Hecker and incumbent mayor C. Godfrey Gunther. Background After his unsuccessful bid for mayor in 1863, Francis I. A. Boole was once again nominated by Tammany Hall for mayor in 1865. However, after multiple corruption scandals were revealed about him later that year, public pressure became so great that Tammany Hall was forced to withdraw his nomination in favor of John T. Hoffman, the Recorder of New York City.CITY ELECTION https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn83030313/1865-12-06/ed-1/?sp=7&q=new+york+herald+city+election+gunther+hoffman&r=-0.237,0.242,1.112,0.689,0 New York Herald December 6, 1865The Project Gutenberg eBook, The History of Tammany Hall, by Gustavus Myers https://www.gutenberg.org/files/53115/53115-h/53115-h.htm#CHAPTER_XXII Project Gutenberg The Union Party, confident it would win with the extremely splintered Democratic ticket, nominated businessman Marshall Owen Roberts, who easily out-voted Frederick A.
