The Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst made no
reference to the local political situation in his
at the Madison Square Presbyterian Church
last night but because of d reference to Mayor
Mcclellan which he had made when he returned
to NeW-York from his vacation abroad some weeks
ago, which had been taken to imply his support of
Mr.. Mcclellan, he issued a statement after the
service explaining that what he did say was to
praise McCleIlan's administration for things
and to remark that there is something in being
gentleman. In his statement he said:

A vote for Mcclellan is not vote for Mcclellan it
is vote for the Murphys, the SuihVans the Nc
Avoys and for all that moral ragamuffinism that
has put Mcclellan forward as a shining label to
give currency to the rotten wares that the label
is plastered upon. The beast IS the same beast
that IT years ago, when LeXow's committee
WAS investigating.
