To the Editor Of The Tribune
When Dr. Brandreth was nominated for the Of
ace Of Senator of this District, he was known only
as the proprietor OF valuable and extensively
circulated patent medicine. Many were induced
10 oppose him on the ground that his want OF ex'
perience in the affairs Of the State, would disqua
ify him for the useful performance o. the duties Of
3hat high office.
Ii is but justice 20 say that in his course in the
Senate he has disappointed those who entertain
ed an unfavOrable opinion Of his capacity, and
more than realized the expectations Of his per-
sOna friends
In all things pertaining to the Senator he has
conducted himself with dignity, observing at all
times gentlemany department toward his op-
ponents, and a manly independence OF opinion
and OF speech in his intercourse with his party
friends Few men could be taken from the walks
Of private life or the engrOsslng cares OF an I'M
nense and widely extended business, aud eleva-
ted to legislative position where they became
"tbe observed OF all observers, where their ev-
eryact is scanned, and every word is noted with
good or evil intent, and pass through the ordeal
with az much credt to themselves and their con-
s,ituents having so little TO regret, or leaving
better impression upon the mind OF thelF assocl-
Ates, than DIR. Brandreth
While he was thoughtful and attentive 10 look
ing after the interests OF hs immediate constltu'
ents and while on mere questions OF politics ne
acted with his party, upon all questions OF pub
lie hcimportance which involved the honor and well
fare OF the State he fearlessy sunk the politician
in the exercise Of the duties and Obligations oil

demagogues under his feet and Ike true repuo'
