HURD is HEARD.
His Views on the Political Cam
paign in Ohio.
He Thinks tits a Mistake to Have DepOsed
IOhn G. Thompson, But Believes the
Ticket a Strong One.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The Hon. Frank
Hurd, member of Congress from Ohio,
was met yesterday by a reporter, and
inVeigled into short talk on Ohio poll
ties.
~ am here purely on professional
business" he said, "and have not paid
much attention to results since the con-
VentiOn."
"HOw do you like the ticket?"
81 think the ticket is asplendid one.
Judge HOadly occupies the front rank
in his profession in Ohio, and is regard
ed as among the ablest lawyers in the
whole country. He will make an active,
vigorous campaign, and will call to the
support of the Democracy its allies, the
liberal Germans, who almost unant-
mOusly desired his nomination. That
nomination was made after the most
active opposition of those who were
called mOss-backed Democrats. The
Democracy has nothing to fear from
them, for when the ticket is nominated
they vote it. HOadly's superb talents,
his great service to the Democracy in re-
sisting the cOunting-in of Hayes, his
original fealty to the Democratic party
in which he was born, will all combine
to make for him the most enthusiastic
campaign we've had in Ohio for many
years. The nomination of Peter Brady
for State Treasurer adds materially to the
strength of the ticket, which is good
one all the way down."
"There have been some changes in the
State Central Committee, have there
nOtP"
"Yes, the Chairman, John G. ThOmp-
son, has bapn depOsed. This deposition
from position he has held for twenty
FIVE years | regard as a great political
blunder. He knew every election pre-
cinct in Ohio, and was familiar with
every local politician of prominence.
He understood thoroughly the political
necessities of every locality in the
is not only political ingratitude, but
endangers the success of the party"
"What have you to say about the plat
form adopted by the convention"
upon the liquor question the Demo-
cratic party offers the only intelligent
proposition. The Republican party de-
clares for taxation of the liquor busi-
ness which is already taxed as every
other business Is in Ohio. 1t proposes
to select this legitimate business out of
all others and put an additional burden
upon it. The Democratic party proposes,
in consideration of the danger both to
the public and the man engaged in the
business, to ask from him license fee
annually which shall enable him to do
his business without detriment to the
people and with the protection of the
law"
"Is the tariff question treated salts,
factOrily"
"The platform upon the tariff is some
what meaningless, but it is so much
better than the Republican resolution
upon the same subject that no revenue
reformer ought to have doubt that it is
his duty to vote the Democratic ticket"
