our city has since largely increased its
population, the lower wards were quite
as populous then as they are to-day
several of them more SO. They were
full of boarding houses crowded with
clerks and mechanics many of these
covered sites since given up to great
warehouses and manufactures ; the ir
denizens have since moved up town,
over to Brooklyn, or out on some Of
the railroads that lead into the open
country.-Practically, the lower wards
are being given up to commerce, and
no longer shelter by night the multi

day.

HOftmans majority, II ,443.
Mr.. Tilden, you know what this
contrast attests. Right we'll do you
comprehend the means whereby the
vote of 1868 was thus swelled out of
al proportions. There are not II, 600
legal voters living in these wards to-
day, though they gave Hoffman IT,
443 majority. Had the day been of
average length it would doubtless have
been swelled to at least 20, 900. There
was nothing but time needed to make
it 10000 if so many had been want
ed and paid for.
