Yes; better than any man in the State He has
not been In the Senate like Trumbull, therefore he
has no strong antagonisms among the democrats.
Republicans have always been In his favor,

TRUMBUI.L NOT ANXIOUS FOR THE NOMINATION..
Mr.. Trumbull, himself, has not shown any great
anxiety to get IT'D nomination here, and has ex-
pressy written that he does not want it, unless the
1eeiing IL decided FOR him. He wants the strongest
man put up not weak one nor under any cir
rupt alliances. Trumbnll's preferences among the
other candidates h first for Adams, and next for
Cox, or OHIO.
COx,s CHANCES
II Is not at all improbable that Governor Cox may
come in toward the last and receive the nomination.
General BrnkerhOfY, Of Mansfield, says, that Cox
would run in Ohio as well any man. and would
make one OF the most fitting candidates for this
Convention. Governor Cox has no enemies any
where. He belongs to both the liberal republican
organizations and the reunion and reform organ
iZations OF Cincinnati, the latter being composed
impartially OF democrats and republicans.
STILL ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Matthews, OF this city, would not be bad candi
date for the Presidency, and quite capable OF it.
GRAFT BROWNS FRIENDS

ONE OF BROWNS sPREEs.
The chief OF ssctln urged against Brown Is on tn,
score of his habits. At the present time he ia per
fectly abstinent, aud sometimes runs year with
out stimulants All agree that he has plenty Of ge
MUS and great deal OF nervous energy, magnetism
and magnanmity. ! talked with several OF tn,

Mcneil. He said that Brown had Missouri solid he
hind him. and was the only candidate named abso
luteiy certain TO bring his state up with him II he
got on the ticket. Mcneil and Others referred in
warm terms to the superb power OF Brown on the
stump, and said that he never made q campaign but
he reused public feeling until, finally the whole
constituency was at fever heat Of enthusiasm
Brown is very strong In Kentucky. and the demo-
cratic strength there would more probably, be cast
for him than even for Davis The st. Louis Republican
IS in his interest and Mr. Hyde its editor has made
two visits to Frankfort from st. Louis TO put demo-
cratic politicians into that way OF thinking. Brown,
IL ~ said, would make an administration equally or
democrats and republicans, and seek to build up
national anu material party on the ruins Of the old
parties.
George Pendeton is named NJ friendly to Brown.
Brown has half brother at Lexington, who Ia a
lawyer OF considerable abilities. His brOthern
law, Colonel William Scott lives In Kentucky, "a
well as Colonel Orlando Brown, his cousin. Other
leading kentuckians who favor him are Madison

and 9. L. d. Guny.
