notion. to the last. that he might be nominated and
tbe news of Seymours nomination was severe
blov He received so or 60 dispatches from his wire
,ullers in New-York during the morning, nearly all
ssuring him that Seymour would decline; that
Chase was not to be put forward; and that he was
the coming man. He was utterly overcome
ny tbe news and bore il with by no means Christian
resignation. Hancock too had faint hopes, but they
were speedily dissipated. The impression here was
that Thurman would be placed the ticket with
SEYMOUR thus giving Pendleton a chance to come to
the Senate; and the selection of +. p. Blair was al
most as much a surprise as that of Seymour The
anxiety and excitement were at length over and the
adherents of the opposing candidates began to dis
cuss the relative merits of their respective leaders,
and of the platforms which they stand The Re-
pubicans were to a man united in the opinion that
Seymour and Blair not match for Grant and
Colfax and at once offered to lay wageTs on the re-
suit next November The nominations are, Of course,
the absorbing theme tonight, and it may be said
that the ,r0rdy campaign is already fairly opened.
The Republicans are delighted and hold that the
Democrats have put forward their weakest men.
Gen. Grants friends predict an easy victory. The
Democrats, now that the first few hours of excite
ment have passed, are disguised with the nomina-
tons The commentary is everywhere heard: What
strange nominations" Seymour evidently has not
the heart of the Democracy. and the almost unani-
nous verdict is: The Convention blundered,"
In the Senate to-day there an interesting de-
bate on Senator Cattels bill to provide for further
Issue of temporary loan certificates for the purpose
of redeeming and retiring the outstanding compound
interest notes. Mr.. Trumbull opposed the present
