Southport has over two hundred more inhab-
i;ants than Racine Nil. Free Dem.
Hardly true, Mr.. Democrat. Southport, Pike
and Pleasant Prairie compose an assembly dis
trlct, and Racine constitutes another. At the
last assembly election, Racine rolled four hun
drcd more votes than all three of these towns to-
gcther.-- Racine Com Adv.
What the relative population of the eliics of
Southport and Racine may now be, we have no
means OF knowing; butthe idea conveyed by the
extract from the Racine Commercial is hardly a
correct one. The torn of Racine, which en-
braces large tract cfpopuloua country in addi-
ton to the city, composes that assembly district.
The torn of Southport has no population to
speak of out Of the city, and hence the apparent
difference. Besides, whilst the Racine district
polled all her votes, this, as is well kn%cn here
did not. But as we said, we, and we presume
none others have at the present time any means
of knowing the relative population of the two
places.
