THE TWO CAN lDATES.

The nomination OF Eugene N Will
son of Hennepin county, for Congress,
by the Democrats OF the Second dis
trlct, Looks very much a, if that party
considered the election Of Mr.. Donnel-
ly foregonc conclusion. Mr. Wilson
is gentleman and a capital fellow per-
sonally, tu1 p 'liiically, and as candi-
date TOR Congress, he is eight
weight" and would 1ever have receiv-
ed the nomination as against such old
and popular Democrats as Becker. Cur
man, Nash, Fland.au, and others. but
for the fact that TO heasiway can be
made against the Republicans, nc1with-
3 sanding the DETECTION which exists in
their ranks. Becker, or Nash, or even
the twice-slain tlandrau, would have
awakened some enthusiasm among the
dry bones Of the Democracy, but as for
the hapless Wilson, 1t is pretty certain
that he will only fa'l ready sacrifice to
the jeal,usies of his rroiessed friends
and the overwhelming strength and
popularity OF his opponent.-W Wtnona

AN INDEPENDENT PAPER on rr1u
POLITICAL SITUATION.
From the ~ p Hernld

From the ". r. Herold.
The idea that General Grant would
not prove popular candidate is ex.
ploded. He is stronger than his party
and this was the secret of his nomip..
ton. The Radicals adopted him from
necessity. In accepting him, they
surrendered from necessity to the Re.
publican Conservatives. No dispa..
sionate thinking man entertains any
fears as to tho consequences Of Grants
election. On the contrary the convic.
ton is general that he is perfectly safe
and that the administration sgainst
Northern and Southern fanatics will
give Us peace and herein, after all
lies bis greatest strength among ths

Tho St. Louis Democrat learns
that in Southwestern Missouri nearly
every former Democrat announces his
purpose to vote for Grant. When ask
ed why, they answer: eve know what
war means, down here, aud have had

lists to q considerable extent in the

OUR DEBT OHE.FOURTt, pm
From the New ! o,k Tribune.

From the NeS ork Tribune.
It has'been usual to state the reduc
ton of our public debt at $25O,OU ,OV(
that being the amount by which the as
certained debt liquidated at the Treas
ury by the Issue of bonds or other Sc.
curit'es has been reduced. We have
been careful to couple this statement
with the tact that, beside this reduc.
ton OF the ascertaiued debt, We have
paid about s5O0,o0O,OvO III back a>
oouutles, overdue Contracts, transpv..a Ia
ton, AID the other expenses Of cios,u.
up the war. These were really ,ucu,.
red and due in August, 1865, and
should he added to the amour. Ut tn.
ascertain ID debt of that debt, III orI.,
to arrive at the maximum amoun, oi
the debt and the total sum by which
it has been reduced. MIR. Edward At
kinson; in a speech delivered yesterday,
Al Worcester, before the Republican
Convention OF Massachusetts, presents
ths actual facts in their true light
showing that the actual indebtedness.
liquidated and uuliquidated, was on
August l, 1865, ss,287, ,733 ,329; thu,
it was on June 80, 1868, s2,485, ,Oyv,-
O0O-being an actual reduction OF
1902, ,733,329 in the principal of the
debt. By the same rapidity of pay
ment we could pay off the entire deb.
within ten years. The f. ures are as
follows: The total amount Of revenue
received by the Government for the
three years from April /, 1865 to June
80, 1868, has been sl.540,o5s, ,5s3.
Out Of this there were paid for back
pay Of the Army and Navy aud war
contracts, within fifteen months after
the clcse Of the Rebellion, s774,S65,-
85l. And there were paid tor boun-
ties, pensions, prize money, reimburs-
ing States for war expenditures, claims
Of loyal men, Freedmen's Bureau, ex-
penses Of Reconstruction, aud National
Cemeteries, $145,9l2,4o1. These two
sums amount to total sum to be added
to the National Debt, as it stood ou
the books Of the Treasury April l,
1865, Of $920,778,252. The ascer-
tained debt was $2.366, ,955, ,O77, max
ing the aggregate of s3,2s7,73 1920,
as above stated. We have. therefore,
actually reduced our debt by $500, 1885,
329.
We can now arrive at the ordinary
expenses Of the Government, exclusive
of war expenditures

| This Company, National in its character,
offers, by reason Of its Large Capital, Low
Rates OF Premium, and New Tables, the
most desirable means Of insuring life yet
presented to the public.
Ihe rates OF premium, being largely re-
| duced, are made as favorable to the insur-
ers as those of the best Mutual Companies,
| and avoid all the complications and unoer-
taipt!es OF Notes, Dividends, and the mis-.
| understandings which the latter arc so apt
to cause the Policy Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are
now presented, which need only to be un-
derstood to prove acceptable to the public,
such as the INCOME. PRODUCING POLL.
CY and RETURN PREMIUM POLICY.
In the former, the policy holder not only
secures life insurance, payable at death.
but will receive. If living, after period of
q few years, an annual income equal to ten
per cent, 40 per- cent of the par OF his poll
cy. In the latter, the Compan, agrees to
| return to the assured the totas amount of money
ne has paid in, in addition to the amount of his
policy.
The attention of persons contemplating
