[edit] Two questions

The article says that Boone was a member of "the Know-Nothing Party." The Know-Nothing movement was a wide movement that elected candidates running on Whig, Democratic, and Republican tickets before coalescing into a party called the American Party. There was never any "Know-Nothing Party" as such. So, what was his actual party affiliation?

"He was elected mayor on an anti-immigrant platform. Although Boone won, there were claims that the votes of German and Irish immigrants in Bridgeport, which was not yet a part of the city, had not been counted." This is kind of a puzzling statement. If Bridgeport was not yet part of the city, why would its residents get to vote in the election? --Jfruh (talk) 19:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
