From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March H." Governor
Seymour is not candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination, and he will not say that
he viii accept il nominated, because that
amounts to being a candidate; but know
as well as | can know anytbiUg OF the kind,
and upon evidence that is conclusive to my
mind. that II Grant Is nominated at Chi
cago aud Governor Seymour at Cincinnati
that the later will accept. / know, too,
upon as satisfactory evidence that Mr.. Hen
bricks will accept the second place on n
ticket with Seymour" SO said to-day 10
me Virginian whose political sagscity and
information ale recognized in and out OF
your State. From the earnestness with
which he expressed himself | am sure that
he is perfectly convinced that Seymour and
Hendricks will as certainly accept if nomi-
mated as Grant will il nominated at Chica-
go. His personal choice among all The can
ddates named is Hancock, whom he wanted
nominated at St. Louis.
WALLACE AND RANDALL.
There Is the usual contest going on I'm
PENNSYLVANIA between Speaker Randall ard
Senator Wallace over the election OF dele
gates to the Democratic State Convention.
So far, outside OF Philadelphia, 100 dele.
gates have been elected, of whom Wallace
has secured SO. Wallace is strongly anti-Til-
den, while Randall is representative OF Til
denism in Congress. At this rate it does not
look as if "the old man will get the vote
OF Pcnn>y lvania at Cincinnati, as has been
claimed by his friends here. BY the way.
those at Washington who oppose Mr.. Til
den do it on the score OF availability, and
have to admit that he has been badly treated
and ought now to be in the presidential
chair.

the effect that they were right. Unless Con-
greSS takes action in the matter Mr.. S1cr-
man will adhere to his ruling in favor Of a
specific duty.
