NEW YORK, August 31-Regarding
the nomination of Seymour by the DEM
ocratic Convention at Saratoga yester-
day, upon which all the morning papers
comment editorially, the World says, it
was the wisest thing possible for the
Convention to do, as he will not only
make the best Governor, but keep The
party most united, efficient and alert as
the party Of reform i'll the State during
the ADMINISTRATION Of President Tilden.
With such leader there can be neither
doubt of the result in November nor
doubt Of the peace aud power through
out his term as Governor. go
The Herald says had Seymour been
nominated with his consent and not in
spite of his refusal, there could be no
question of the expediency Of such
step nor of his great strength as q candi-
date. II he accepts all will be well, but
il he adheres to his original determina-
ton the party Will find itself in an aWk-
ward predicament. Certain it is that no
other selection could do so much to
strengthen the Democratic canvass.
In reviewing the work OF the Conven-
ton the Herald says 1t seemed like
hanging out the flag OF distress on side
from which there was little reason to
expect relief after the positive and reit-
Grated refusals of Seymour TO become
candidate for any office. 1t questions
whether the nomination was Tilden's
WORK, but says il Seymour accepts, the
party will be too glad Of a strong cam
didate to caYil about the means by
which his nomination was secured. I'M
der all the circumstances, the Herald
thinks Seymour will accept.
The Times says the Democratic party
| is as barren Of men as it is OF ideas, and
was forced yesterday to admit that there
was not man they could nominate for
| Governor with the slightest hope of sue
cess. 1t says the Convention broke
through Tilden's rule of toleratlng none
| but toadies near the throne, and Sey-
mOups nomination is more than re-
| proof to Tilden's dictatorial manage
ment. |....
| The Times prefers not to discuss the
issue Of Seymours candidacy until he
makes up his mind whether he will ac-
cept or decline.
Tue Tribune says it Is uncertain
whether Tilden controlled the Conven-
tion or not. 1t argues that from DEM
ocratic view Seymour's nomination was
| the strongest that could have been made,
but that there 9fe not Democrats enough
in New York to elect him.
| Ii elected it must be through help from
the outside, aud it does not think that
| Seymour is the man to get that help.
| The nomination lifts The Democratic caH-
vass from the plane on which " IVES the
strongest, that Of reform, and sits it
back to the plane in which it is weakest,
! that OF the old war issues. On the whole,
the Democrats have nomipated sick
and unwilling man, who Will bring out
their full party vote but repel all out.
