AN INTERVIEW WITH SEYMOUR.

UTICA, August 81, 1876.
When the HERALD correspondent left Saratoga

nomination for Governor, announced by Mr..
Faulkner in the Democratic State Convention.

MR. SEYMOURS OFFICIAL DECLlNATIoN.

The latest dispatches received last evening an
nounce that Mr.. Seymour positively declines the
nomination for the Governorship of the State, given
to him by reclamation in the Democratic State Con-
vention ct Saratoga on Wednesday evening. This
declnatton, 1t will be seen by inter-
with the Ex-Governor was imperatively demanded
by Mr.. Seymours medical attendant, and compliance
Herewith was authorized after It was known that
the nomination was made. MI. Seymour states
very clearly that the delegates with whom
he communicated were fully advised Of the
impossibility Of his acceptance long before the
Convention adjourned, and he Expresses his
great surprise that, with the knowledge
OF this very important fact General Faulkner should
have made 80 misleading statement, as that which
implied his readiness to accept the distinguished
honor.
To prevent any further misrepresentation Mr. Sey-
mour has given to the press official announce
ment that will render unnecessary any specula-
ton as to the probabilities OF his yielding to the
opportunities Of his plitca friends in reference to
this nomination.
1t is not yet known what action win be taken by
the democratic leaders in this emergency. Mr..
Seymour intmates that the nomination Will be
ferrcd to the State Executive Committee, but at
late hour last night decision had been arrived at
In all democratic circles in this city when the
news was announced there considerable dis.
may and unaffected surprise, with here and there
denunciations of those members of the party who
were supposed to be responsible for its admitted
humiliation.
At Saratoga the HERALD correspondent con-
versed with the few delegates who had remained at
the Springs after the labors Of the Convention.
The statements of these delegates show how thor
oughy deceived they had been by the proceedings
in the Convention. 1t Is admitted that there
was latent suspicion In the minds OF
several OF the delegates that there was something
kcptback by those who had seen Mr.. Seymour; but
after Mr.. Faulkners statement this suspicion gained
no strength, and the adjournment was made with
the fullest belief that the strongest ticket possible
had been unanimously agreed to.
