The entire article is manufactured. The
evidence thateycry word oft was written

ticle represents the Post correspondent as
riding with Seymour in the Governors
sleigh OH Wednesday last. The Governor
has not mad his sleigh in requisition for
upward Of three weeks, and there has not
been snow enough in this vicinity during
THAT time to make snowballs. The article

Prominent advocates Of Governor sey'

doubt as 10 the object OF the Washington
paper in perpetrsting SO boldly such a
bogus screed. Some think it is q move

The article published in Western pa
per some ten days ago representing Mr..
Seymour as bowed down with intltmity
was also false. His health has been fairly
robust during the entire winter. At no
time IN the past ten years has his physical
condition been more gratifying.
rsThe conviction among Democrats here
IN strong that Seymour would carry New
York State by anloyerwhelming majority.
During the past week John Kelly wrote TO
a friend here that Seymour would unite
the party. The Governor has kept aloot
from the Tammany trouble, and Kelly ad.
mires Horatio as heartily as he, hates
Sammy. But Mr.. 1ilden controls the
Democratic State Committee, and will do
all in his power to have the Sage OF Deer
