Personal.

We had Il call yesterday from Col. j. t. ia
cobs of the Republic Life Insurance Company
The plan of this company is to form loca
branches throughout the country, each branch
to be controlled by officers chosen by loca
stockholders, and the money arising from pre-
miums instead of being sent abroad, Is to be In
vested ut home. 1t embraces among its stock
holders many strong men, financially, and is
rapidly spreading Col. Jacobs proposes to or.
game a branch here, and will, in time, make
known his plans and objects, through the pres;
and by personal visits,
Our young friend Mr.. w. L. Hall, whose de-
parture for Montana was noticed in the CHRoN-
IcLE some weeks ago, we are glad to learn, has
met a streak of luck" rs the common saying
goes. Immediately upon his arrival atEirginia
CITY he received the appointment of clerk to the
District Court of Gallatin county. He has,
while preparing to assume the duties OF said
office, since been chosen clerk of the Judiciary
Committee of the Territorial Senate with ex-
ceedingly liberal wages. In the last case he was
elected over five or six competitors.
- The people of Montana do not seem to have
that silly prejudice against carpet baggers,p
so called, that characterzes the people of some
sections We congratulate young Hall upon
his success. If we thought all our young men
coulddo SO well, we would, like the great Hor-
ace Greeley, say, go West, young men, go
West.'

representatives yesterday in the state couven-
tion. 1t was creditable not only in the fidelity,

in the results it will bring to the party here and

The candidates nominated deserve the entire
confidence and support of the whole party.
They will honor the state as well as receive
