should not be overlooked
MR. DANIEL MAGoxE's CONCLUSIONS
The gentleman here related incident as TO Mr..
Daniel Magonc, Jr., Chairman Of the state Central
Committee, while he was on visit to Syracuse short
time since. Several OF the gentlemen named above
waited upon HIM at the Vanderbilt House. They set
forth their political grievances arising out Of the
management vi the party IN thus locality. MIR. Magone
regretted the situation, and remarked that tho Gov
ernor was sometimes placed IA false position. Mr..
Tdcn did not desire pledged delegation from Utica,
as hc thought would be detrimental 10 the interests
of the party
Under this statement il appears that all Governor
Tdcn asks OF the Convention Is resolution Endorsing
his administration.
After this little narrative my political friend who did
not desire his name mentioned under any circum-
stances, concluded rs folows:-
when tho delegates were elected from this county
no other promise was cxactcd from them than that
Louis. II Governor rilen should succeed in getting
the nomination. In no county IN the State VIII he be so
enthusiastically supported as IN Onondagao
GOVERNOR SEYMOUR
Many OF the politicians with whom converscd in
Syracuse and vicinity speak enthusiastically Of Cover
nor Seymour as candidate for President They look
upon him MS the most eligible yet mentioned on the
democratic side. This compliment comes from in
dependent and respectable class wcli from these
who supposed to be allies Of the Canal Ring.

ssGovcrnor Seymour in an interview with newspaper

Seymour's brother was IN Syracuse short time ago,
aud The same query was propoundcd TO him. He could
not be induced to give answer as TO his brothers. IN

family would not object 10 four years residence 10

A CONTRARY OPINION
The wishes Of Governor seymour IN this particular
direction have also been described TO mo good
thorily rs tending decidedly opposite direction.
1t - said that on no account and under no circum.
stances would he accept the nomination at st. Louis.
But as yet have heard Of such positive refusal
coming directly from the lips OF Governor Seymour.
Until such announcement Is made tho question
necessarily remains an open one.
THE ADMISSION or DELEGATES At UTICA.
II Is claimed by prominent antiTilden politicians
here and In Rochester that peculiar tactics will he

crnor. Of course everybody who understands the
chincry Of conventions knows well that arguments

machinery well in hand II II rs then all
