LETTE FROM MR. J. 1. CABSODAY, OF Wis- * CONLIN. : ‘To the Editor of The Uhleago Tribune, Janesvitwe, Wis, June 12—In view of tho many wild and untruthful statements mide In regurd to the alleged combination or agrcoment by which the nominution of Mr, Garfield was effected, it may bo well to state the exnct feta, and thusdlsalpato, all speculntion, It 1a woll ynown toull that tho twenty-eleht ballots on Monday closed without any substantial chango fo tho result, Many delegates realized that to continuo balloting In that way for another day would necessarily tond to embitter tho re- spective frionds of tho two lending candidates throughout tho country, and thus greatly weaken the party, especially tf olibor of tho candidates should bo nominated, and honeo folt in duty + bound to break tho monotony, If possible, by the geleétion of nnew tan, Accordingly, about twenty delogntes—iucluding Sanderson, Winkler, and mysolf, from this Stato—mot at tho Massn- chuselts headquarters at tho Gurdnor House, immediately ufter the adjournment ou Monday night. The result of that meoting was, that Gov, Smith of Vormunt, Gon, Benjamin Hnr- rieon of indiana, and myself wero appointed a committeo to confer with tho Blaine and Sher- man loaders, and sco If anything could bo of- feoted. It {senough tosny that Mossrs. Halo, Frye, and Hamlin would listen to nothing except what would result ‘in what thoy olaimed was certain, tho success of thoir chiof on tho coming day, although thoy wero pretty plainly told tuat it would bo dificult to hold tholr friends from Indiana much slongor, ond that, 80 far as the Committee wero advised, they could not get any additional strength, ‘Zhe Committee then called upon sone of the Shermun leaders. Thoy had nosuy- stions to make, and tho Interviow was soon terrupted by tho Blaiuo leadors calling on tho Sherman leaders for o confor ence; and, as it waa then midnight, our Committco withdrew without hopo of offect= ing anything, As tho Comiittes was about to separite, the hope was expressed that woe would find it pructicablo for our respeotive delegations toact togothor the next diy. whe next muenio it wos ascortained that mothing was effected by the conferonce of tho Blajue and Sherman lenders. Thoreupon most of tho Wisconsin delegntes hud an informal conferenco with ench other, and tho result was that sirtcen conoliided that, under all tho cir cumstances, the wisest thing for them to do was tounite yoonor or Inter, and make a bron for @arficld¢Wwho had bocome exccedingly popular. with tho’ entire Conyention, and whoso great ability and acknowledged leadership in tho House of Representatives for many years, and his iutegrity of character, had endeared him to tho great mass of tho Kepublican party of tho Mai ion. On tho aasomoling of the Convention, er Washburnc . Harrison, und tho supporters of in the Conncoticut, — Ilttnole, and Now Jersey delegations, wore in+ formed that, untess additional votes wero forthcoming for Wushburne, Wisconsin would soon break for Garfleld, Gen. Harrison thoro- ‘upon expressed very high rogard and confidence: fa Gon. Gurlictd, and, although he tnade na proinises, yet he left ua to iufer that, tf Wiscon- sin broke for Garfield, Indinna would foltow, aa ftdld., Tho ballotin; ed, and Wi burne’s frionds ator ond and thirty-third ballote ho got 4+ + elght more than ho bud received the provious iy, thoso, 13 came from Indiana. When Indiana was cnlted on the thirty-fourth ballot, tho Washburne vote dropped from 1 to 0, when Aportion of the Wisconsin deleyution at once determined to break for Gurileld, and did. Neithor Gariicld nor any of tho Ohio delegation, horany of tho Binine loaders, had uny expecta- Non that any such break was to take place, ‘The break was forced because the Blaino nod Sher- man leaders scomed determined to stand firm to the last for thofr respoctive chiefs, and because {t wag belloved that tho name of Gurticid was so Orly established In the confidence of ull that any prospect of hia nominution would at once br the columns of the contending forces, and unite a innjority of tho Convention on him uo nomineo, Tho Wisconsin Selegution claim no cspeoinl credit. Gurtleld had tho ro- spect of tho ontiro Convention from tho first, ag Was muinifost by tho cheers which greeted his first uppeurunco, sud he steadlly wraw in favor tothe tust, Tho vronk waa successful only bo- causo it was in hurmony With the judgment of the great musa of those cogl-honded duloxates Whowero moro desirous of Berving tholr party and tholr country than to serve any man.

On the supposition, then, that tho Hon. Horatio Bey- mour, of New York, fs a onndidate forthe nomit nation for President at Cincinnati, and for the Addittonal reason that, if he Js a candidate, ho will probably ‘bo nominatod, your correspondent has yathored the following, which Js preaented. to your roaders 18 a briof summaty of hi curoer: Horatto Soymour was born In tho Town of Pompoy, Onondaga County, N. ¥., in M 1810, nnd hns thoreforo prased his 70th birthday, Illa fathor wad u well-to-do farmer, and for thoga days a well-cducated man. When Horatio was 8 yours of ayo his fathor removed from Porn pay te Chica, thon already a growing yillago and the centre of 2 populous and indus- trious community. Asn boy und youth, Horntio was slondcr and Wonk, and toable to cope Phys! = cully with boys ef robust cotstitutions, This doticioncy, however, was mado up In intellectual {miproveinent. His good motuor first taught him tho rudiments, and his fathor determined that bo showhd have tho advantnyes of the beat. of schools. Soon nfter locating in Utica young Horatio was sent to Oxfurd, Chenango County, N. ¥., where ut that time one of tho beat academies in tho State had been eatabiished. Grmndunting from this school, he was next sent to Hobnrt Cullege, ut Geneva, N. ¥., where his studies wero continued fornyear or two, but, at the nyo of 15, his health becoming extremely dolicute, it was deterniined by family-council to remove him from that institution, and place.him, in one whore tho Inws of health and phyatonl de- velopment were considered n part of a system = of education, na woll of the cultivution of tho Intellect. Accordingly wo noxt tind him transforred to, Middlotown, vonn,, whero 0 retired oiler of the Un! Burtes army bad established s military schovl, the aystem of which wns similar to that at West Point. Here bo fained health and strength rap. idly; and bis mind, keeping step with physicul Improvement, developed and broadoned, and Jaid the foundation for that ominonce which ho hns gluco attained, It was here, among tho stu> denta that caine from overy acction uf the Un- jon, that he formed friendships that were In aftor Hfe to lond him forward to prominent po- sitions of public truat. During tho lust yenr of his etay In thls institution the frinclpal decided to take bis students to Washington for a two- fold purpose: One, no doubt, was to advertise ils school; but above this he desired the young gentiouon under bis charge to become nc- quainted with ominent men who wore nating o Again pare in the affuirs of tho Government, Young Oy ONE fiad in unclo in Washington, thd Hon, Horatio Scymour, then represen’ Vermont in the United Siutes Sennta; ‘through bini Horatio was presented Jotn Quincy .idams, Henry Clay’, John C.

Moturuing to Utica ut the closo of his_school- day protintion at Middlotown, restored in health, full of umbition and hopeful for the future, Mr. Seymour decided to study law naw profession, Entering the oftico of ronson & Reardstey, at wnat time the most eminent counselors iu Con- trial Now York, ha fulthfully and persistonutly faurued, bia studies until admitted vo the Bar. His nasoointions, however, while in this office, wore pecullarly unfortunate for the young stu- dont.. Mr, Hrongon and Mr, Bourdsloy, while at the hoad of their profession, were also inost pro- vounoud politiciins aod partisans of the Demo- eratic school, Horatlo's futhor also bad rison to a high point of intluence in that party, ana was ut that timo n momber of what was ‘known as tho Albany Herenuy, Seymour thus became early imbued with tho dogmas of that party, and has clung to them, right or wrong, all through ita shane 28 well ag {t6 Rood report, Io was ad- inittod to the Hur, but bis inalination aud desire hud beon changed from tho pursuit of law to that of a political Iifo, und he bas nover been actively coxnged in the profession for which ho SYerenvsr and active in hia polltienl views, wrest and active in his en! and having intuential fricuda to muse him forward, wo next find bin upon the sul of Willlam L, Maroy, thon Governor of Now York.

Mr. Seymour counseled von. otlintion and modoration (us he always dova), but tually took sides with tho Hunkers, and wis chosen Bpvaker of tho Hougs, Thus we tind him, at tho ugo of 07, presidivg over tho dalib- erations of & y of mon second only In tn. ortiuncs to the House of Itepresontatives ut Washington.

After a hurried breakfast, he and his young- estdaughter (then unmarried) went dgwn about three-quarters of a mile to the precl- ples Itself, over which there was #o little water running that, having provided himself witha strong pole, they started from the Tuble-Rock, and walked near the edge of the preefpice about one-third of the way towards Goat Island, on the American shore, and, having stuck this pole Ina creyico of tha Tock, wd Miss Street haying tled her pocket- handkerchief firmly on the top of ‘the pole, they returned, He said that he then turned his view towards the river below the Falls, and sav the water su slintlow that lismense jogged rovks ‘stood up .in such a frightful nisnner that he shuddered when he thought of his havin frequently passed over them in the little ld of the Mist (as 1 often had. lone). te then returned toward home, and drove from the Canadas shore some one-half mile wbove.the Falls toward Goat Island.
