oardful estimate on the part OF q goio
bug and silver man who stood at the
hack and counted-there was an over
6ow injecting at the Bryan club hall,
whioh- contained four or Ave hundred
more. besides the hundreds at the
doors who were unable to get into either
place. The vsxed gold bug Republi-
cans who were so emphatic in their
statement that this was the last time
any other than gold bugs should oc-
cupy the Wigwam, were politely IN
formed last evening that the Bryan
mon had been saved the trouble Of tell
ing them that their Wigwam was en-
tirely too small for silver meeting,
since here was the ocular demonstra-
ton Of the fact. AS for the silly state
ment. in a morning paper that this
huge crowd was drawn to the Wigwam
under the misapprehension that this
was a Mckinley meeting, does not speak
very well for the circulation Of that
paper, since for several days 1t has told
in lurid headlines Of the "trickery and
Misrepresentation" by which the Wig
wan had been secured for Bryan
meeting, and the local papers have de-
voted much space to advertising the
fact that this was to be "a Bryan meet
ing" As for the matter Of the renting
Of the Wigwam, members Of the Re
publican committee which rented 1t to
the Bryan men state that the whole
matter was done IN a perfectly straight
forward way, and there is no complain:
to be rightfully made against the Bryan
people 1t is a well known fact that in
all the history Of Pasadena, Republi-
cans and Democrats have often occu-
pied the same meeting places erected
for political purposes, and there has
never been any objection before. Those
who object now simply show their
smallness. Furthermore, when the
question as to whether it would be con-
trary to the ordinances to erect such
a wigwam was debated in the city
council, the Republican members Of the
distinctly and unequivocally that 1t was
for the Democrats as well as the Re.
publicans, as Bryan meetings would no
doubt be held there and SO there ought
not to be any objection.
