LOUISVILLE, June 3.-The Commercial
Gazette's special from Frankfort contains
an interview with Governor Bradley
which is his official withdrawal as presi-
Dental candidate. He has announced to
his friends that his name would not be
presented to. the st. Louis convention al
though the Kentucky delegates-at-l large
and some district delegates are instructed
for him. Governor Bradley looks on the
growth of free silver among the southern
and western Democrats with alarm as
threatening the interests of the country.
He urges the Republicans to meet the
issue sduarely and closes his interview
thus: The nominee at St Louis should
have the undivided support of the party,
for the commercial interest of the repub-
lie is in as much danger as in 1861 Per
sonal preferences should be laid aside and
petty animosities forgotten, and patriotic
Democrats who stand for the advance
ment and prosperity of the nation should
be appealed to to assist in the defeat of
those who would lower the standard of
CTR money and thereby necessarily stain
the nations honor
Kentucky Republicans won signal
triumph last fall on ringing declaration
for sound money. They should stand by
their guns, forgetting all internecine
strife and march shoulder to shoulder to a
grand victory in November" Governor
Bradley's friends say he stated as soon as
the returns of the silver tidal wave last
Saturday came in that the time had come
for state favorites and personal preferences
to be laid aside.
