The riot was an ethnic attack by the Irish against Blacks and local authorities -- draft officials, police, fire fighters, and the militia. It was class oriented only in the sense most Irish were members of the under class and working class. WASPs were represented in all classes.

New York City elected a Republican mayor in Nov., 1862, eight months before the riot. The previous Democrat secessionist mayor, Fernando Wood, had been denied renomination by Tammany. Then as now, WASP blue collar workers voted Republican. Skilled WASP blue collar workers voted overwhelmingly Republican.
