1t will be remembered that shortly before
the meeting of the New York Convention,
Mr.. Seymour made an elaborate anti-green-
back speech. A friend referring to it few
days afterward said to him, "Well, Governor,
that speech has killed you for the nomina-
ton Yes" said Seymour, 81 killed the
chances of two men with that speech. One
was HoratiO Seymour and the other was
George III. Pendleton."
And he spoke truly, except that the dying
Pendleton contrived to pour his ebbing hie
into the veins Of Seymour and prolOng that
gentleman's feeble existence for a few
months. This felicitOus combination OF
suicide and assassination has been since re-
peated as to PendletOn and Hendricks.
Each has been willing to make his exit, pro-
vided he could be allowed an expiring kick
at the other; and, what from the dying and
kicking, there is nothing left of either at
the present time. The Democratic party
feels this, and is sorry; and the country
feels it, and is glad.
Hendricks, as Democratic candidate,
cordially nominated and honestly support
ed, would be a dangerous competitor for
General Grant-more so, perhaps, than any
other man we could name. But he can not
be nominated, for the reasons we have
stated, and, if nominated, he would be de-
feated by Democratic as well as by Repub-
lican votes. Mr.. PendletOn, of course,
could not be nominated. He and his friends
know this very well. They have, however,
large remnant of power for mischief still
in them, and we feel assured they will exer-
else it against Mr.. Hendricks on the first IA
yorable opportunity.
