TBy Telegraph to the Sentinel
New YoRK, June 18.-Mr. Seymour
boarded an Erie railway train at Elmyra
yesterday that contained many delegates to
Cincinnati. When it became known he
was ON board the delegates pressed through
his car, shaking hands with him and cheer
ing for the next President. One delegate
told Mr.. Seymour that the Convention
would nominate him anyway, and the
Democrats would force him to accept. Mr..
Seymour replied that his refusal was un-
conditional, and he thought the sentiment
Of the party was in favor Of q younger and
newer man. MI. Seymour said 81 really
doubt the e~xpediency of nominating any
New York man. There is too much feeling
between the hostile factions. I have taken
no part in the quarrels. l do not doubt
that the true policy Of the party is to take
o young and new man, who is no way
mixed up with the New York trouble. A
strong man from Illinois would be expe-
dent and available, if they had one. This
is not the time for an old man to run"
At Corning Mr.. Seymour was invited in
the Jersey special car. He was introduced
by Captain FINDERS as the next President,
whether he liked it or not. The ex-Gov-
ernor was enthusiastically cheered. He
said az am mnch gratified to meet so
many friends Unexpectedly, but as to what
Captain FINDERS has said, / must reply
that / am an old man, without any desire
for further public life, and I step aside and
leave the nation in younger and stronger
hands. You need a vigorous leader, and
l hope that by your wise action at the Con-
v~ention you will unite the Democracy in
every section of the country and in every
State in the Union. / have retired from
political life, but hope to see Democratic
principles established in the Government
at this election. I wish you all success
and happiness"
The LeadviIIe Troubles Settled.
DENVER, June 1S.-A Leadville dispatch
gives the result Of the meeting Of the
| Miners Union yesterday, which was large
ly attended by the members. Generals
| Cook and James, their stats, and 8 num-
Der OF prominent mine owners were also
present. After discussion, the Miners
| Union adopted a series Of resolutions,
agreeing to resume work at the terms on
which they were employed previous to the
strike. Certain mine owners agreed to
recognize the eight-hour system in future
as heretofore, and giving pledges to use
| their influence to have the system gener-
ally adopted throughout the camp. 1t is
understood that the men were to go to work
At the old prices wherever they could get
| it, and that no strike be ordered or permit
ted against the managers who insisted on
| working ten-hour shifts. Such leaders OF
the strike as are known to have counseled
and resorted to violence, would not be re-
employed. The committee appointed by
the meeting waited on General Cook, and
they Joined in q dispatch to Governor Pit
kin requesting a continuance OF martial
law at the discretion Of General Cook. As
| matters now stand, the miners are to go to
work at the old price. The Union is not
to be disbanded. However, the mine own
| ers and managers make no concessions, ex-
cept that they will use their influence in
favor of the general adoption of the eight.
hour system. Mooley and other leaders.
were guaranteed immunity from arrest il
they return. If the miners go to work to-
morrow, all the mines will resume with q
full force. A large number of the mines
are already working a full force, and conf
dence is generally restored.
