Tn fact that Horatio Seymour has not on

nomination to the Presidency, but be- also
indicated his preference for Salmon z. csaee'
AZ the nominee Of the Democratic Convsas

significance than has heretofore been a''''D'

The hands Of bis party, over any and every

A TREACHEKOUs 1EmOBY,

We published yesterday an article from
the Davenport Qowa) Gazette. giving an
account Of q ceatenarian who cast his vote
for Grant and said he had voted for Wash
iugton, in New York, in 1888. Now this
was little too much of brag, even by a
forgetful old man.
New York did not vote at all at the first
Presidential election, and she was the only
State that did not (See Appleton's
Cyclopedis, title WashiDgton.) Our State
was opposed to the constitution. Only one
of our delegates to the convention which
formed it signed IT, The others withdrew
from the convention, and some of them, on
their return home, published an address
against it to the people. 1t was with much
difficulty, and only after the requisite num-
Der of States had ratified it, that New York
consented. The constitution was adopted
by the convention on the l7th of Septem-
Der, 1857, and New York did not ratify It
until the 18th Of July, 1888.
The first election for President was not
held in 1888, butin 1889, and thepposition Of
New York was so strong that she took no
part in that election. Moreover, the Presi,
DENTAL electors in New York were never
chosen by The people until 1928; before
that they were always appointed by the
Legislature.--NsU York Post.

Special to the Louisville Courier Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The statement
that Gen. Grant had written a letter to
Gen. SlocHm, recently elected 10 Congress
on the Democratic ticket in New York, is
without foundation. The entire story il
denied by Gen. Grant, who states that he
never wrote to Gen. Slocum on any subject.
There Is already number of Senators
and Representatives in the city, all Of them
Radicals. Their frat duty, which is most
punctiliously performed, is to call on Grant
and congratulate him on the result Of the
election. His headquarters now is the best
place to ascertain the arrival of honorable
gentlemen.
Gcv. Morton is frequently spoken Of for
| Secretary of the Treasury, and if a West

as to excite alarm, but be has quite recov-
cred to-day.
