 John Hurley was q power in city politics while he remained with the democrats, but as soon as he came out for the republicans his friends desert ed him. and he presented q sorry spec tacle on the street yesterday compared with what he might be had he shown better sense and not allowed himself to be nisled by the notion that he could use men who might like to be- friend him, but quickly draw the line at the idea of changing their politics to accommodate Hurley or anybody else. Hurley was used we'll by the democrats. got job from them that many thought should have gone to somebody else, and instead of mind-

He was ad vised by men who think more of him than Harry Durant or any other repub- lican politician does. to hold his job and that in the end he would be better off, but he diGregarded the counsel of those who meant well by him and kept on in his mad folly until the public went to the polls and showed him the error of his way.
