Jesse D. Bright on the Situation.

Ex-Senator Jkk.sk D. Bright was in Itcnsnelncr one day the first of the week negotiating some private business. We understand ho was very free in expressing his opinions ro-sjK-cting-thc Presidential candidates and their prospects. He said that, he was confident he could set down the electoral vote of the different States as they would be cast, upon a sheet of paper ami seal it tip in an envelope, so be opened after the result was announced, and that those figures would not vary from the official eount.-fft r wasac a n <1 id a to upon the Kentucky Democratic electoral ticket and it would not do for him to say anything, but when Grant was elected he hoped financial matters would be easier. Sxvmolr was a “lying hypocrite” and was very fool* ish tor making a public exhibition of himself. Blair never was a Democrat, nothing but a mere political adventurer, without discretion and without principle. The Democratic party of Indiana was very badly managed. There were no men of ability at its head. Myith the proper “leaders, -X«# ins wotpd havo gone Democratic. The Democratic electoral ticket of Kentucky would bo carried by 50,000 majority. *
