Mcclellan Makes Change.
Mayor Mcclellan made another move
on the chess board today by appointing
Frances J. Lantry, fire commissioner.
Lantry is one of the few Tammany
Hall leaders who have stuck to the mayor

Dr.. CuyIer Flags Hearst
Rev. DR.. Theodore I. Cuyler pantor
emeritus OF the Lafayette Avenue Pres
byteTian Church. in Brooklyn. to-day
spoke thus of Mr.. Hearst's campaign:
The candidacy Of Hearst is the most
disgraceful and disgusting thing that I
have ever known. He was elected TO Con-
gress and was only occasionally on the
floor and only occasionally replied to his
name He is the moneyed power attempt
ing to Usurp by his money the rightful
functions Of the ballot He has done
nothing to recommend himself to the con-
dence of the public
The power of money has become very
great. Gladstone once told me in conf
dcnce that a great danger which the
American public must fear and guard
against is the plutocrat who would
seek TO subseTve by the use OF money
and Influence the highest executive and
legislative positions
