Ewing Sound on the Main Issue.

The Hon. FRANK HURp, member OF Con-
gross from the Toledo district, is personally
not friendly to Gen. EWING. and differs with
him on many points that have heretofore
been regarded rs important In Ohio poll
tics. For this reason IL has been supposed
and said that Mr.. HURD would be unable to
give Gen. EWING his cordial support In the
canvass against FOSTER. But from a letter
written by Mr.. HURD TO friend in Toledo
we extract the following passage:
The currency questions are not the important
be decided this canvass The issues are those
made by Congress In Its contest with the President Fee
elecons military interference with the people NJ the
polls and honest urcs for the trial Of American citizens
These que involve civil liberty the great principles
o. free government and the existence Of the republic
Upon these que Mr. EwSo earnestly on the side
the people lie has been OF the abest advocates
Of the Democratic position In this Congress | will
Ing to forget differences other questions and Join with
any who insists that the army shall be subordinacd
10 the civil authorities in time Of peace until free gov.
trnmont Is assured in these United States"
These, indeed, are the great questions at
Issue in the Ohio election. Mr.. HURD's view
OF their surprising Importance is the view
OF all who properly understand the drift Of
events. The liberty OF the individual and
the perpetuity OF the Government must be
fought for now at the polls, as they were
fought for in the field eighteen years ago.
There must be no half-hearted support from
men like FRANK HURD. Differences OF
opinion on minor questions must not en-
danger the great principle which is at stake.
EWING and HURD stand together upon the
main issue. and 1t Is upon this issue that the
Democratic party in Ohio will lose or win.

MOnld lie Profit Nv 1T

Gen. GRANT Ia reported to have said in his
speech at Shanghai that he wished he had
known ten years ago what he had lately
learned, and that his experience in that part
of the world would be Of great interest, and
possibly Of great use In the future.
The papers are occupied in wondering
what Gen. GRANT meant--especially whether
he meant that he expected again to be Pres
ident OF the United States, and that IL was
in this particular capacity that the expert
ence referred TO would be OF value to him.
II makes little difference what he meant.
He will never be President again II any Of

GRANT expressed the highest qualification

perience.
AtShanghai human beings took the horses

Worse still are they who would drag him
back into the White House.
Possibly this was what GRANT meant
that il he had known what fools men were
ready to make OF themselves he would have

thus have saved his horse hire-as the
GRANTS are notably parsimonious.
