Not since 1860 has the necessity of voting

there been so much breaking party ties and

at stake, it is indeed test of patriotism
of loyalty to the Nation and our free in

SOME "OFFICIAL" FIGURES.
A Mr.. Moore Says 133,4OO People
Heard Mr.. Bryan Tuesday.

A. H. Moore, assistant city engineer, has
prepared an official" estimate of the
crowds that heard Bryan Tuesday, based
upon his knowledge of mathematics and
engineering problems, supplemented by his
personal observations on the various occa-
sions that Bryan spoke. All told he calcu-
lates that 1873, 400 heard Bryan speak at the
four principal addresses first at the State
house and afterwards from the balcony of
Tominson Hall, in the courthouse yard and
in the hall at night Unfortunately Mr..
Moore does not seem to have heard of the
speech made in the Grand Hotel Other
wise the total of his calculations might
have been swelled to 100000.
Mr. Moore has compiled these figures
with the laudable intention of stimulating
the courage of Populists who were deceived
by their own eyes into believing that the
crowd was much smaller than he finds it
to have been by mathematical calculations.
Figures never lie of course, and Mr. Moore
is confident that his free-silver friends will
admit that they must have been dreaming
when they decided that not more than 100-
600 or 10000 heard Bryan speak, at the ut
most. Consequently those who are not dis
posed to look into the inwardness of things
will probably have their cup of joy filled
to overlooking when they see Mr.. Moore's
figures.
More skeptical people may find food for
reflection in the statistics presented. In the
first place it will occur to them that if
lis, together with the $4,000 people d morn
ing paper estimates came here, We're to
have heard Bryan the total could not have
reached 1913, 400. And then the large crowd
that heard him at the Grand Hotel is not
considered at all.
Mr.. Moore bases his figures upon the
proposition that each person who gathered
at the four meeting places covered one and
a half square feet of surface. He says that
$1,000 heard Bryan in the Statehouse yard,
45, 400 from the balcony of Tomlinson Hall,
10000 from the courthouse stand and 5000
in the hall at night. 1t is known that Tom
Hnson Hall will not seat three thousand
people. Persons who see that Mr. Moore
estimates that 5000 people and over were
standing will wonder why the city officials
do not employ him to increase the seating
capacity at least $500, for if there is stand
ing room for 5000 people. they will argue
that the seating capacitys ought to be in
creased at least half that much. Any one
who saw the crowd at the Statehouse
knows that it extended only halfway from
Ohio to Market street, and from the center
of Capitol avenue to the wing of the State
house, covering a space of 47,064 square feet.
On Mr.. Moores estimate of IL square feet
for each person, exactly 1886 could be
packed into that space. 1t is well known,
however, that each person in crowd will
cover on an average more than two square

The Popocr,t:. Emblem,

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
want TO call attention to the complete
absence of the old Democratic rooster as
party emblem. In all of the crowd in the
streets mere on Tuesday not one rooster
was seen on the person of Il Bryanite, but
the phrase ''16 to L. whatever that may
mean, has taken the place on all badges
and transparencies; even the Cleveland
Club has taken down the name of Cleve-
land and has substituted 10 to ] for t.
Now, that being the case, is 1t proper for
them to put on their election ballots the
old-tirne Democratic rooster? / think not !;
they should put their party's emblem. VIZ,

rooster would be too forcibie a reminder of
the fraud practiced on the wage Garner in
the campaign of 1872? While the rooster
made poor diet / can't sec where an

prove any more filling to the man out of
work this coming winter than did the old
Democratic rooster. But 1t shows how COM
pletely the Popuists have taken possession
of the once proud old Democratic party.
