Mr., SEYMOUR oN THE STCHr.-We sho uld
like to know what sort of an arrangement the
Democracy has established with the New
York Associated Press by which Mr.. Sey-
mour's verbose and oft-repeated harAngues are
nightly telegraphed throughout the country
Certainly there is nothing In what Mr.. Sey.
mour says that calls for this distinction, and
nothing in his position that renders it neces-
sary that his speeches should be elevated
above those OF any other politician engaged In
the canvass. Mr.. Colfsx, for instance. is a
much more prominent man than Mr.. Seymour,
and has made during the CANVASS many
speeches which we think far better than the
utterances of the Democratic Presidential
stumper; yet his speeches have not been re-
ported by the Associated Press, nor has any
Republican paper required it. II Democratic
journals want Mr.. Seymour's speeches, lie,
them pay for telesraphing them, and let the
Associated Press attend to itslegitimlte bust.
