The nomination of Seymour, under the
circumstances is the strongest one that
could have been made. He is gentle
man in his address, most popular in his
ways and has secured thousands of warm
friends by bis personal attractions. In
truth, be is a winsome man, and may be
considered as respectable a representa-
tive Of the modern Democratic party as
could be obtained in the present ext
geney. Personally, we have known Mr..
Seymour for many Years. In our early
life we saw him almost daily, and We
have uurtured strong esteem for his
genial and gentlemanly qualities, and
for the creditable manner in which he
appears in all public positions.
