" In 1864, he served as permanent chairman at the Democratic National Convention, where the opposition of many delegates to the nomination of General George B. McClellan led many to seek out Seymour as an alternative before the governor made it clear that he would not be a candidate." But, according to the Wik article on McClellan, he got about 5% of his party's support at the national convention, as opposed to Horatio Seymour's 17% (are they related?) and McClellan's 77%.

See United States presidential election, 1864. The 17% went to Thomas H. Seymour. The political New York, Vermont and Connecticut Seymours seem to have been all related, but I suppose it's not easy to ascertain their exact relationship. Kraxler (talk) 13:25, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
