Frank Hurd Thinks of Going to New York.
TOLEDO, o., Nov. 3-The majority of Romeis
in the Tenth Ohio district will be about ]. 800
Frank Hurd accepts his defeat gracefully, and
left to-day for the mineral ssclngs at Mount
Clemens, Mich, as he is suffering from a
rheumatic attack. From there he goes to New
York. He admitted to a reporter to-day that
his crushing defeat closes 'political career in
Toledo. and intimated that might in the fut-
try for a COMPRESSION 81 nomination in a
New York city district. Hurd has been eight
successive times the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Toledo district and has been
three times elected Beginning with a defeat,
he has been successful every alternate time
until the present election. His political
methods have been calculated to punish those
of his own party who opposed him.

opposition, which at this election grew great

Hurd, in a campaign speech in this city, last
Saturday night, disclaimed ultra views and

protectionist Democrats, however, put no
faith in this, pointing to the fact that Hurd
has been for years one of the leading lights
of American free-traders, is an honorary
member of the Golden Club and at the Chi
Gag free-trade conference, last November, read
paper expressing the most radical views. A
third element of dissatisfaction with Toledo peo-
pie is that Hurd's residence here is purely tech
meal He is not married man, and stays in
Toledo only few weeks each year, and that at
a time wnen political campaign is on. A cry
was raised against him for being a nonresident
which had considerable effect Personally Mr..
Hurd is held in the highest respect here for his
brilliant talents, and the Democrats, who have
been his most ardent supporters, deeply regret
