papers will not allow nie to take up more than three of our largest 

 cities, and I have selected those which have had the largest ex-

 population by wards of the cities of New York and Philadelphia 

 for 1870, 1880, and 1890, and for Boston for 1880 and 1890, is shown 

 in the following tables :
