In Appointments He Did Not Ignore
Independent Men.

the youngest chief executive Baltimore
ever had. He was the son of James l..
McLane, president of the First Nation
al bank, and nephew of Robert NJ.
McLane. ex-governor of Maryland and
United States minister to France dur
ing President Cleveland's first admin
istration Previous to his election as
mayor he had for four years filled the
Office of states attorney, in which he
had distinguished himself by Jealous
and intelligent discharge of his duties.
During his brief administration OF
the mayOralty office he had brought up
on himself the anita gOniSm of the reg
uIar Democratic organization by the
appointment of independent members
of the party Recently there has been
marked opposition to him among
Democratic members of the city cOun-
Gil in matters relating to the rebuild
ing of Baltimore. and this considered
by many as a ccntributory cause Of
suicide.
Mayor McLane married. two weeks
ago. Mrs. Mary Van Bibber. a we'll
known and popular society leader Of
Baltimore and the newly made bride
is prostrated by the terrible tragedy.
The dead mayor was very popular
among the people generally, irrespec-
tive of party. and the whole communi-
ty has been profoundly shocked by his
tragic end.
