Randolph Guggenheiner, President Of the

COMMENT OF DIR. LONGACRE.
The Rev DIR. Andrew Longacre, pastor Of the
Madison Avenue Methodist Church in his sermon
Yesterday morning made the following comment
upon Mr. Crokers assault on the Supreme Court
bench:
Il * a terrible curse to the city when bad men
win brains and money and ambition have power
TO give or take away the livelihood of thousands Of
Inc uooplr. when tn" poorer man. whose vote
however weighs as much yours or mine. knows
mat he must vote he is hidden OF starve. There
are not Offices enough TO bribe very many, but The
loss work threatens the great multitude OF
laboriras men.
Think of the insoent cyncism of public leader
confident in the obedience OF dependent thousands
who against the voice OF the better Of all par
lies would thrust from he B"ncu an uprlgot
Judge who cannot be made a politicians tool. No
greater dlshOnOr to our city was ever attempted.
and us success would be a shame without parallel.
Think Of the dishonored and degraded manhood
Of the city. degraded by ignorance and vice and
the cowardlce Of poverty, which makes such domi-
nation possible. IT is an ensl1vement OF the cti-
zens and a shame for the city.
