WHEELING, WEST AL MORNING, NOVEMBER 1885,
HURp,s VIEWS
ON the Presidency, the Ohio Senator.
ship and Other Political Matters.


TOLEDO, o., November S.-Hon. Frank
Hurd was interviewed by correspondent
to-day on the probable result Of the elect
ions in regard to Presidential timber, the
proposed action Of the coming session oi
Congress in regard to the modification oi
the tariff, the probable candidates for
Speaker, who would doubtless be chosen
United States Senator from Ohio, and the
next speaker Of the House.
SIN regard to Presidential candidates"
said Mr.. Hurd, "Mr. Tilden has but to say
the word, and that he will accept the nomi-
nat ion, and 1t will given him oyerwhelm-
aBut will he accept"
tsThat [ can not say. II, however, he
should decline, It will be Governor elect
Headly beyond all question. He will get
the nomination most heartily, and proba.
bly, by acclamation."
Chow about the matter Of New York
going Republican? Would that not show
the importance and necessity Of nominating
Tilden in order 10 carry It for the Democ.
racy in 1SS4?"
stNo, not necessarily. But New York has
nof gone Republican. I am satisfied that
II Is Democratic. II ithad gone Republican,
you would have heard o jubilee on every
street corner, As 1t is, II is mighty quiet,
and that quietness Is sufficiently significant
to satisfy me that the State has gone Demo.
cratic, Secretary and all"
"How about the tariff; will there be auy
modification Of the tariff at the next ses.
sion OF Congress?"
"There will, indeed; we propose 10 take
up the matter, and 10 do nothing else dur
ing the entire session. liaction In the mat
ter is to be delayed any longer, Congress
might better never meet"
"How about the tariff on wool?'
"The tariff on wool will be given
thorough attention, aud ought to be taken
of entirely. It ought to be free, and we
will fight for 1t the best we know how"
"Who will be Senator from Ohio, Mr..
Hurd; you know you have been credited
with favoring Mr.. Psndleton?"
swell, that is a subiec! l would not care
to discuss"
"How about the speakership?"
"oh! my choice is Carlisle, first, last and
always" 80
"If Pennsylvania has gone Republican,
would not that show that Mr.. Randalps
chances were rather slim, inasmuch as he
could not carry his own SAte?"
swell, the fact would no. help Mr.
Randall. and, to be frank, 1t pretty efiec.
tuslly demonstrates that it is all up with
him as regards the Speakership. Yes, sir;
II Pennsylvanisgoes Rspu blican, that vir-
tually settles the question as regards Mr..
Rsndali's chances for the Speakesship"
"Has the election gone as YOU wished,
Mr.. Hurd, generally speakipg?"
swell yes; We wanted to bury Butler,
and we did 1t pretty efecLuslly. Virginia
We were most particularly anxious about
and 1t went most gloriously as we wanted
it too. New York has gone Democratic,
and solidly, too, am perfectly. satisfied.
Yes, sir; may say that the elections have
gone entirely as We wished, and that the
chances for u magnificent Democratic vic.
tory in 1854 are all that could be desired.

LONDON, November S.-Every possible
embarrassment it is said is being thrown in
the way Of o. o'Donnell's defense. To-day .
cablegram was received by o'Donnell's
solicitors in London, from Mr.. Donald Cur.
rie, Of the Currie Steamship Line, which is
likely to complicate matters in regard tothe
production OF the Cape Town witnesses,
whose favorable testimony o'Donnell's
solicitors are most anxious to produce at
the trial. The cablegram makes q per-
emptory demand for 1880 cash for the
transportation OF McHardy, one OF the wit
nesses, who is also an employe Of the com.
pany on their line between Cape Town and
Port Elizabeth. There are I've witnesses
coming from Cape Town, and as the bill OF
expenses for the transportation oi four OF
these has been agreed upon and amounts
To only $1,000, the charge Of 81. 500 for the
transportation Of the other Is regarded by
0'Donnell's council es exhorbi.ant, and
they have cab.ed areIusal topsy the sum
demanded. Hfi
The presence at the trial ct The Cape
Town witnesses is deemed absolutely
necessary to the defense, az they are to
prove, according to the testimony in posses.
sion OF 0'Donnell's counsel, that Carey
was killed in self defense during tho row
following the sudden discovery of bis iden'
tity. Public feeling in England has been
greatly intensifed by the recent explosions
10 London and the claim set up by o,Don-
nell's subscription agents in New York,
that these outrages were the work OF their
emissiaries. Itis feared that II the large
sum demanded by the steamship company
for the transportation Of McHardy Is not
paid the company may refus0 to lard any
Of the witnesses, and thus place serious
difficulty in the way Of O'Donnells de.
fence. II Is also feared that the company
may, in making out their bill, charge
lump sum for the whole five and that uri-
less that sum, $500, is guaranteed, they
will Immediately turn the refusal intoan
excuse for no. performing their contract as
10 the delivery OF all the witnesses.
Mr.. Currie's action in this matter has
greatly embarrassed 0Donnells eclicisors,
and although up to The present time they
have protested against the payment ot
the 81 800 demanded for Mcldarly's traGs-
portation, they will have 10 give way in
order to make out even plausible case OF
self defense. The case is already consid.
cred practically lost because oftbe irtitated
condition OF public continent against the
Invinciblep, Of whom it is now believed
0'Donnell Is one, and this fresh misunder-
standing has completely discouraged tha
prisoners counsel. II is openly asserted
that the Government means to secure the
execution OF O'Donnell, and Mr.. Currie
is charged with abusing his privileges as
the monopolist OF the Cape Town Steam
ship Line for the purpose Of facilitating
the plans Of his close personal friend, the
Prime Minister, in this respect.
