HON. FRANK Il. HURD.

The Toledo District IS in a sea of trouble
over the Hurd-Romeis election contest, and
the prevailing opinion is that HuIds SEEM
ing defeat was brought about by recourse to
the basest methods on the part OF both Re-
publicans and traitorous Democrats 1t is
the general impression that Hurd ought to
have his seat. bat the contest he viii have
to make to get it Will injure him for al
time to come in the estimation OF his con-
stituents. How this could possibly be the
case could not be satisfactorily explained
yesterday by anyone in Toledo to our rep
rssentative who iouEnsyed to that city that
he might gleam some Information ID the
absence of Mr.. Hurd at Warrington. He
interviewed hundreds and found Hurd's
friends ouspoken, while his opponents were
reticent or asking, II reported at all, to bs
set down as mum" 10 the matter.
Democrats who contributed to the
loss of 1.60O votes IN Lucas
county and the defeat Of Mr. Hurd and the
entire County Democratic ticket, are nsw
ashamed Of their baseness-those who sold
out as wsn as those of the $50 osth-bound
and bosstful brethren who did the dirty
work and the buying. OF these the majority
are old time enemies of Mr. Hard, aRd not
few of them are troublsd with the Congress
sional itch, without the capacity to ease
such an affection by Sn appeal to their fell
low citizens. They went as Democrats to
the Congressional convention ut Oak Hsr-
Dor where Dir. Rurd was nominated, but
they returned as the enemies of the party
and the principles they claimed to represent.
They are the local leaders of the ''ruls or
ruin" element that lave been the bane Of
Democracy in Ohio, and that have always
had the support and connivarce OF the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and of the men who al
ways prsferrsd self TO principle and any
thing under certain circumstances to Demo-
cratic victory.
The Seatinel Is aware that these consider
atoms weigh but little in deciding the con-
test now on. Law and fact and precedent
will have to do with it, and from appear
ances they point like the index fingers OF
the millions to the triumphal arch under
which the great Hurd has passed before, and
under which he will undoubtedly march to
the measured music of popular acclaim
when this contest is decided by Congress.
lie comes first in the estimstion OF intslli-
gent men as q constitutional lawyer, as 9
statesman, and as an orator. He stands high
above petty affairs, and his greatness swsl'
lows up the small fry that seek recognition
by clsnoring at his heels. Mr.. Hurd has
been eight years in bringing about the con-
sideration of the question Of tariff reform.
| He has urged it as an issue OF right and as q
winning issue for the Democracy. In this
| he has manifested his excellent

Mr.. Ballard was about eighty years old,
and one OF the Oldest citizens OF this county.

Davis as an Issue.
TOmsbs Herald

What pity it is that the Davis-Sherman
controversy did not come up in the Senate
during the late campaign. With . little
skill it might have revived the bloody shirt
in s'l its Whilom glory. Just think OF it,
gentlemen, in the musty vaults of the war
department laid the proofs of Davis alleged
dupieity for all these many years and no.
Dooy ever thought Of using them. 1t is ter
rible to relate and worse still to contemplate,
Were it not for little formality known as
the law. we should expect TO renew the Pres
identjal campaign at once with Davis a. the
one great towering issue. To be thus de-
frauded is shame, and we shall be greatly
surprised II henceforth Mr.. Blaine pose not
as a martyr TO this oversight. It is true the
northern heart ceased long ago to be fred By
ghost stories of JEFF Davis, but they might
still have answered for diversion.
Now that the campaign is over we don't
see what earthly good q revival of the bloody
shirt can effect. 1t certainly does not ex-
pedite business, nor does it enhance the
good feeling OF the Senate. The only thing
1t does is TO give number of patriots q
chance 10 show their herolsm in attacking
decrepit enemy thousand miles away
whose closer acquaintance they scrupQlously
avoided at time when bis conspiracy was
still fresh on tsp. We can imagine with
what swelling pride the rural voter in MIchi-
gan will pore over Conger's fearless attack
IN Davis rear, and how he will remember
the gallant Senator at the election OF the
State Legislature next year, when 9 success
or TO him is to be chosen; still there is no
need OF delaying business on that account.
The Congressional Record will scatter the
news of how Davis was slain Just the same
whether it is carefully written by q hired
man at so much per clay, or delivered with
ell the exhaustive accomp aaiments of the
rhetorical art. Senators should be composed
and give the country, if not Davis and
themselv Ives, q rest.

POLO.
Meridian Victorious by Three to One.

The Star-Meridlan polo game at Meridian
Rink last night was witnessed by large
and select crowd. The game was called
promptly at 9 o'clock, with Harry E. FIke
as referee. Parry Wright and Frank Leh-
man acted as judges for the Star Club, and
George Catterson and Harry Walker for the
Meridian, and Jay 6. Voss time-Keeper.
After these gentlemen had taken their po-
sitions on the floor both teams entered, tbs
visitors leading who at the start
created q very favorable fmpresis6,
and were loudly cheered. The game
opened without any formslties, the
referee starting the bali promptly. Brels-
ford, for the visitors, took the ball from
TaIlton with apparent ease. What TarltOn
lost IN the buck" however. he soon re-
gained by neat coaching TO Wood. who, by
a splendid stroke. scored the first goal.
Time, one minute and three-qusrter seconds.
The second inning opened with q great deal
of excitement at the call the referees
whistle. away went Tarlton and lands with
the ball. The visitors finally got it toward
the home teams goal, when Eden by dash
ing play drove it the entire length of the rink,
and Just as Tarlton reached the front of the
opponents' goal the ball wasthit terrifcaily.
Tarlton blocked il nicsly, aud the bal re-
DOunnlDg passed lnOugu the osarS goal, CIV
ing Meridian their second goal in forty
seconds.
The third inning was hotly contested by
both sides and lasted tSeYe minutes aud ten
seconds, when the visitors were awarded a
goal by an unfortunate bat not Intentional
foul by Wiles, of the Meridisns.
The fouth inning commenced with excite
ment at fever heat. Tarlton gained bis first
advantage of the evening over the gal ant
Captain of the Stars and after nursing
nicely finally got the ball TO Wood,
who, by terrific line hit, scored, Meridian
winning goal IN l 2S2. The game was by
far the most exciting and brilliant ever
played in this city. Two games will be
