HORATIO SEYMOUR.
Sketch of the ID Democratic Candid ats for
Ghe PFaaIdeaCR.

Sketch of the Democratic Camd i'd sts for
Ghs Prssdoscy.
HoIatio Seymour, who TO day received the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency on
the 22d ballot, is native of Onondaga county
N. Y, and is still in the prime of life and visor
OF manhood He was educated to the law, In
which his requirements are acknowledged to be
OF no mean order. Indeed, he bears the re qua
tion of being one of the most scholarly and
polished men who have ever been in public life
In Tn 8 country.
YGovernor Sey mour has long been prominent
as q politician. The first Office held by him was
that OF Mayor of Utica and he W As a member
OF the Legislature from 1872 to 1915 inclusive
and was speaker of the Assembly for the last
year of his term. With these exceptions, how
ever, We believe that he has never held any
other public position except that of Governor
OF the State OF New York. He first ran for
that office in 1850, Sanford E. lurch being the
emocratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor
AHhorg Mr.. thurcn was elected by small
majority, Seymours vote fell Off and Washing
ton Hunt, the Whig nominee, was elected by
majority of 262 votes. In 1852 he was again a
candi with Mr.. CL ur 1h. and this time both wer
elected, Seymours vote not being as great (,
CluIchs, however, by about 10000 In
1884, when Seymour aspired for the
third time 10 Gubernatorial honors, he was de-
feated by dssensions in his own party, the
memorable couflct between the Hards and
Softs being then at its height, and the Wing
candidate receiving 800 more votes than Sey-
mour. La 1862 he again became candidate
and was a second time elected on the basis of
the popu ar dissatisfaction with the manner In
which the war was then being conducted his
majority over General Wadsworth being 10 ,752
in q total vote of 602,5i8.
In 1864 hs became candidate for the fifth
ri
Fenton receiving majority of 1913 in a total
vote OF 73O 82l
Governor Seymour presided over the delbe-
rations of the Chicago Democratic COnven tion
of 1854 and was similarly honored by the pre-
sent Convention last Saturday. His nrme has
been associated with the Office of President for
the last eight years.
