No Eieemosynary Candidate.

Some Republicans, prematurely seeking,
before the municipal battle has really be-
gun, TO promote the prospects Of their can
didate for Mayor, have seized upon the fact
that Col STRONG Is Treasurer Of ST. Johns
Guild, and are proclaiming as one of his
qualifications this evidence OF benevolence
and public spirit. They seem to suppose
that the voters of the chief city of the United
States can be influenced by collateral con-
alterations of this sort. It IL due to Col
STRONG, who IL only Q tentative candidate as
yet, his formal acceptance Of the Republican
nomination being still dependent on further
negotiations, to say that he is In no way
personally responsible for the injudicious
claims Of these unwise supporters. But this
unmannerly and audacious intermingling
Of private charity and philanthropy with
public duties Of an important character, does
Col. STRONG an injury not easy to ignore.
The once Of Mayor Of New York Is not an
eleemosynAry post. II Is not bestowed by the
voters upon the man whose private bene-
factions or whose known public contribu-
tons In cash amount to the largest figure In
year, even II the year be the year preceding
an election Of Mayor. Il Is not q prize
offered In the political lottery as an incite-
ment for public aims giving or aims col
lecting, but a serious trust which, properly
administered, rebounds greatly to the bene-
At Of the people Of New York, and to their
happiness, progress, well being, and protec-
tion under the law.
When the Hon. RUSSELL SAGE, . distin-
guished and opulent citizen Of this town,
was q candidate for Congress some years
ago, In the Rensselaer, district, one of
his opponents made a great attack upon
his charitable impulses; but the people
OF Troy, who know . good man when
they see him, took little stock In such arRu-
ments against Mr.. SAGE, and that gentleman
was elected and reelected, too OF how little
efficacy are such appeals As these; Vote for
JONES, the man who supplies the free nails
Vote for ROBINSON, the man who gives away
buckwheat cakes at cost Vote for SMITH,

Nor was the position of the voters Of Troy,
when this issue was put plainly before them
in the case OF the Hon. RUSSELL SAGE, diff
ferent from what the judgment OF the voters
OF New York would be or would have been
under similar circumstances. Vote for
JAMES HARPER, who sells books at cost
whenever a candidate! Vote for JACOB
WEsTERvELT, who distributes shingles free
at the dock instead of selling them to the
