CORNING, n. Y, August 81, 1876
In preceding commit cation dated from Utica the
HERALD correspondent referred to an Interview held
with ex- Governor Seymour at his residence at Deer
field Park The subject of the cx-Governors opinion
OF present Governor OF the State and the present
democratic candidate for President of the United
States was lett untouched nasmuch, Sir Roger &c
Coverlcy might have remarked, "a great deal might
have boon SAID on both sides" II is not, however,
improper say that Ex-Governor Seymour thoroughly
inGorscs Mr. Tildcn as the democratic candidate Tor
President; that while asserting that Governor Tidcn
lacks the magnetism bring to him and to attach
him with hooks of steel strangers friends he
possesses the facility of that cannot be
surpassed. Hence the exc expresses his de-
cded belief that Governor Tilden Will DO elected the
next Chief Magistrate OF the country. In his ability
and strict integrity Ex-Governor Seymour avowed
bounded ccnnaence In brief, he n rilden man all
and over and at the proper time would take the
stump to aid in securing his election.
