credit for being one OF the strongest and
most determined characters ever in the

he insisted that Bryan is an inexperienced
lawyer from out West. who is incapable
of graphing with the trust and money

Remarkable Figures of the Canvass

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 26.-The re-
view of the political situation in the Sec
ond congressional district, printed in Tues
Gays edition of the Journal, contained
the statement that one of the Republican
organizers in the district had secured the
names of "thirty-one" Democrats and
Populists who had declared for Mckinley.
The number should have been 331. Since
the preparation of that report eleven ad-
ditional names have been found, making a
total gain to date of 342, and a loss of
twenty-three. Desertion from the De-
mocracy in the rural districts is most graf
flying to Republican workers, and the facts
already stated, in the face of Democratic
Boosting, indicates that the Democracy
has no idea of the weakness of its hold
on the rank and file this year. Mckinley
will in all probability carry the Second
district by more than three hundred ma
jority.
