Seymour Positively Declines.

| NEW DIRK, Sept. l.
The Hciali this morning publishes an
interview bttsetn ex-Gov. Seymour and
one of its correspondents, at his residence
in DeeIiied, last evening. The corrcspon-
dent Informed the governor that he had
just left Saratoga, and the people were
alive with enthusiasm in regard to his &C.
ceptance of the democratic nomination for
governor, to which the governor replied as
| follows
| cannot accept the nomination for the
office of governor. have repeatedly said
in public and private that would not &C.
| cept any public position. Before the con-
venton and since its meeting l have in
formed those who have conversed with me
on the subject, that in no event would il
be possible for me to accept the nomina-
ton My telegram to Senator Herman at
Saratoga prior to the nomination, asking
him not to allow my name TO go before the
convention, was in response to tclc-
grams received asking if / would
accept the nomination if rendered.
l have done everything in my power to
prevent my nomination being made, and
while l appreciate the honor my friends
would bestow upon me, / must say now
that the same reasons for a refusal to &C
cept this nomination which then existed,
still exist. have this morning received a
letter from DR.. Churchill, one of my ply
sicians, forbiddiDg me making any mental
or physical effort, and declaring that the
acceptance of this or any other public posi-
vent my ultimate recovery. In view Of
theee facts, it will be impossible for me to
accept the nomination, and ! so informed
the gentlemen from Saratoga who waited
upon me this morning requesting my ac-
ceptancc. 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 he really said has been
misconstrued. There are number of
good men in our ranks who are eminently
qualified to fill the position of governor.
The nomination now rests with the state
executive committee, which is friendly to
Governor Tilden, and which will no doubt
select one of the number who will conciliste
all interests.

The Evening Post has tie following
special dispatch:
UTICA, Sept. /.
Nothing can alter Horatio Seymours de-
termination not to permit the use of his

listen to no more gentlemen who wish to
urge the nomination upon him, no matter
what they are. He has been made sick by
the interviews and excitement Of the last
two days. [Signedl UTICA HERALD.
