The Latest.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l6--12:40 a. NJ.
Since my last have gathered the following facts,
showing efforts made even months ago to accom-
psh Seymours withdrawal. gentleman, promi-
nent In the democratic party, whose late services to
that cause have marked him as not only jealous
but valuable member, called on Mr. Seymour
soon after his acceptance Of the nomination
and earnestly ADVISED him to correct the great
error the Convention had committed, to elevate
himself In the estimation OF the country higher than
even an election to the Chief Magstracy Of the ma
ton could lift him, by calling upon the Democratic
Executive Committee to assemble, and to say to
the that feeling that there questions ut stake
in the country OF the greatest magnitude that Will
be sacrificed II he should go before the people the
candidate OF the democracy, he believed 1t to be his
duty to withdraw in favor OF some other man in
whom the democratic and conservative masses felt
an mistaken confidence, and who could unite all
the elements In the country that were opposed
to the selfish and ruin0us management
OF the radicals Mr.. Seymour did not diff
fer greatly in opinion with this gentleman, but
he said he could see feasible way in which to do
IL. He could not come out then before the country
after having accepted the nomination, and say tina,
he erred in so doing, and unless the Demo
cratic Executive Committee would cooperate
| in the movement 1t could not then b.
successfully accomplished This gentleman di'
not relinquish his endeavors to procur,
/
| long and earnest letter to Mr.. Seymour, urginS
him. while yet II was time TO give place To candi
date who should represent the radical opposi
ton and all that great mass OF our people
known AZ the war democrats. as well as the regular
democratic forces. Yet II seems that organized
movement could be inaugurated, and the party lead
appeared to be DESTROYS OF learning the popular
feeling the nomination as 1t stood as expressed
In the October elections In the three great States OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. That opinion
has been announced, and hence the present
effort TO retrieve past mistakes and to place
before the people candidates who can command
the hearty approval OF all those who have the best
interests OF our government at heart. Some OF the
dispatches here to-day advised the nomination o.
Hendricks and Johnson as well as Chase Hancock
and Adams. The dispatches were nearly all couched
in the same terms-doleful in the extreme--and
arguing that the salvation OF the party required the
withdrawal OF the present standard bearers. II Is
stated that the call for meeting OF the National
Committee has been issued.
