'sTherc is no foundation for any belief that the
action OF tho Saratoga Democratic Convention re-
suited from any concert with view to forward de-
feat the interests Of any 1t arose simply from
tho fact Of Mr. Spriggs sending to Mr. Faulkner with
out explanation, the form Of signal agreed on be-
tween them which would indicate that Mr..
Seymour had accepted the nomination. The

mour being put nomination until the Convention had

upon the Convention favorable TO my NOM
ination. ! have doubt that Mr.. Spriggs
sent tho despatch in spirit of over confidence and
without any intent to dcraud believe that when the
Convention gets together it will make good nomina
on and that damage to the prospects OF the party
will arise from tho recent proceedings
