A Hebrew for Mayor.

WIG Us hNOuihk Sbhi
Nathan Strause has been named
for the mayoralty Of New York.
Nathan Strause is a Hebrew, and
for this there are many intelligent
Democrats in New York who say
they will not vote for him. This
is unreasonable, it is unjust, and
reflects less discredit upon the He
brew, who is opposed, than the
Democrats who oppose him. The
Hebrews are an orderly, self-re-
specting, law-abiding people. You
will find fewer Hebrews before the
criminal courts of this or any
other country than you will
any other class of people.
You will find less Hebrews
in your poor houses and ele-
me synary institutions than any
other class of citizens. Not only
that but they are broad in their
bounties and liberal in their char.
tiles. They have given to the world
some Of its greatest scientists, di-
plomats and stat esmen. History
fairly blazes wi tn noble names.
Some of Englands greatest prime
ministers were Hebrews, Beacons.

head of the Ii st. AS financiers,
the world furnishes no equal to
the Hebrew.
Sixteen centuries of oppression
have taught him the value Of
money,or it's equivalent in precious
stones or jewels. No other people
on earth have been so successful as
the Hebrew in the accumulation of
money. 1t was money and not
land that he wanted, something
with which he could buy his liber.
ty or bride his oppressor,
and an eternal toll has brought
it. The Hebrew controls the
marts of the world. The most pro-
fitable in Europe, Asia, and Africa
are in the hands of the Hebrews.
The greatest money power on earth
is a Hebrew family-the Roth
CHI Is. While their wealth has
never been computed their trans.
actions with nations have become
matters of history.
1t was to this wealthy family
that England, Austria, Italy and
France respectively turned to fur
nish the money to prosecute their
wars for over half a century, and
it was this great house that fur.
nished the money. 1t seems that
if any financial institution on
earth is immutable it is this great
house. Panics, financial storms
and cloud bursts of ruin have never
in the least affected them. In fact
it is said that during a severe
money stringency they make their
largest profits in loans and dis.

Some years back furious fnan.
clal gale swept Europe, Frederick
Huth, Simply Dillon and other
large banking firms, were trying
t. ride the storm with bare poles
and closed matches. When even
the Bank of England had to appeal
to the government for help, the
house of Rothschilds kept on with
doors open, doing unusual business.
Some years past, when there was a
great Hebrew gathering in Lon.
don, from all parts of the world,
the mayor of that city challenged
any one to produce a single H.
brew beggar in the city of London.
We mention these facts to show
their thrift, their economy and en-.
terprise. In whatever walks of
life he chooses he is patient and
persistent. If the people of New
York elect Nathan Strause they
may be sure he will give them a
clean and honest administration
He is man Of ability and a man
Of merit, and the honest Democ-
racy Of the city of New York will
not oppose him on account of his
racial distinction. "He is a man"
