NEW YORK, September 1.-Gorcrnor Sey-
mour in an interview with 4 reporter at his
residence in Utica last night said: ~ have
done everything in my power to prevent my
nomination being made, and while l apprc-
ciate the honor my friends would bestOw
upon me, must say now that the same rca-
sons for my refusal to accept this nomination
which then existed still exist. have this
morning received 4 letter from DR.. Churchill,
one of my physicians, forbidding me making
any mental or physical effort, and declaring
that the acceptance OF this or any other pub
lie position would be detrimental, il it did
not prevent my ultimate recovery. In view
Of these facts it will be impossible for me to
accept the nomination, and / so informed
the gentlemen from Saratoga who waited
upon NE this morning requesting my ac-
ceptance. L cannot see how Mr.. Faulkner
could have been misled into making the
statement he is reported to have made. 1t
may be that what really said has been mis-
construed. There are number OF good
men in our ranks who are eminently quail
fed to ill the position OF Governor"
The nomination now rests with the State
Executive Committee, which is friendly to
Governor Tilden, and who, no doubt, will
select one Of number who will conciliatc
all interests.

ernor Seymour, and it is believed tonight
that all further effort to induce him to re-
consider his refusal to accept the nomina-
ton will be abandoned.

Governor Seymour OF his nomination, this

"The State Convention, including my
self, acted towards you with the utmost
good faith. The form of the telegram re-
ceived by me from Mr.. Spriggs was agreed
upon in the committee OF ten to signify, as

vey your decision to the Convention.'
The following is the form Of the dispatch

A special to the Euening Post from Utica

determination to permit the use OF his name
as the Democratic candidate Cor Governor.
He SAYS this morning that he will listen to
