WASHINGTON, Sept 3.
II is now ascertained positively that
Secretary McCulloch has declared him
self for Seymour and Blair. An evening
paper states that, in conversation with
prominent officer a short time ago, Mr.
McCulloch said he could no longer hest
tate as to what course to pursue, but
should give his support and whatever Of:
fetal patronage he could control to Sey-
mour and Blair. At the same time he
says that.the only Objectionable plank in
the Republican platform was that relating
to reconstruction. He preferred uniting
himself with the Democratic party to
giving his support to party which i'm
posed such conditions on the Southern
States as was done by the Republicans in
their reconstruction measures.
