From an IntsruteiU fnthe Ctnc,ndttt Commercial
Governor Brown bit off piece of to-
bacco, and answered my question as to
the next Presidency as follows:
"l don't see how the Democratic
party can be beaten. As to its candi-
date, there Is some doubt. Tilden is
well spoken of. Hendricks will suit
me. think the Republicans will nomi'
nate Washburne. He has good re-.
cord, and knows how to manipulate a
conventon.H
"Governor Brown, don't you think
Secretary Bristow, is a rising candidate
for the Presidency %
" No, sir do not suppose that, in
the prosecution of his duties, that thing
animates him at all. If you knew his
associations and birthplace, as i do,
you would not ask the question. Pub.
lie men in Kentucky do not do their
duty for rewards of any kind. They
die poor, taken care of lin their latter
days by public subscription, like Clay,
Crittehden, Breckinrid&e, aud maLy of
that class. believe Bristow to De ac-
tuated by the sense of honor, and not
the desire of Office. II he could get the
Presidency lie wonld not scorn it; but
he w5ild not turn out of the way of his
