Hon, IIOraliO Seymour,

The Democratic nominee for President
is a native Of Onandagua county, N. Y.
and is about 81 yeirs Of age. lie is II
lawyer by profession, and practiccd for q
while very successfully in Utica. The
Galveston News gives his pc litical record
briefly, as follows:
In the fall of 1911, he was elected
to the State Legislature, and the
next spring was chosen mayor Of
Utica, overcominga large wing ma.
jority. In the Legislature he at
once took prominent position, and
was annually reelected till 1915,
when he was made Speaker. So
In 1850 he was defeated for Gov
ernor of Now York by Hon. Wash
ington Hunt, who obtained a ma
jority of 262 votes.
In 1852, Seymour and Hunt were
again candidates for Governor, and
Seymour was elected by a majority
of 24,3S5; and beat both his oppo-
ncnts Ga free soil candidate being
in the iicld) by a majority of 5000.
In 1854 there were four candidates
for Governor ofNew York, and Sey-
mour was beaten 800 votes by
Myron Ii. Clark, who unsupported
by the wings and temperance men,
Seymour having vetoed the Maine
liquor law and become identified
with the opposition to restrictive
Legislation in behalf of temperance.
In January, 1861, Gov. Seymour
made a very able speech at Albany,
strongly advocating concession and
concilatory measures towards the
seeding Statcs-a position he has
ever since maintained in numerous
addresses which, for intellectual
power and genuine patriotism,
were worthy of a place beside the
best efforts of American oratory
even in its palmiest days. The
same may be said of the speeches
recently made by him on tho poll
tical and financial condition of the
country. In logical arrangement,
I over of thought and force of Ian
guage, they were full equal to their
great themes, showing their author
to be statesman in the lagcst and
best sense of the term.
In politics Gov. Seymour has al
ways been democrat, and has sew
eral times been supported for the
Presidency by large portions of the
party.

sg The Austin correspondent of the

e6S- The Austin correspondent of the
Galveston News, writing on the subject OF
the Division of the State, says:
The division question was on the
carpet; speakers were confined to
thirty minutes and many talked.
Smith, of Galveston, made a very
good speech against division. Gov.
Hamilton spoke in favor of his sub
stitutc; / think he wants to kill the
whole thing. Division is pet
scheme of Judge J.. ID. Evans, and
this fact, as | before wrote you, is
damaging the prospect. The radi
Gals think there is snake in it.
Evans, of McIIennan, introduced an
ordinance fixing the capital of this
State, in the event of division,
at Waco. Rather fast, Mr.. Evans.
Hold, awhile, fyou please, Mr.. ab
iHitiO Ill tell you now, if you don {
known it, that you won't get the
division question through as easily
as you think, and If you do get it
through you will wait many days
before you get the capital at Waco.
