HOME MATTERS,
lnlI1OrtaEt In lnsurer.

Porter III. Snow, ESQ, of Chicago. general
Agent OF the Economical Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Providence, L. l., has been in this
city during the week advancing the claims Of
the Institution he represents This COMPANY has
taken a step in the right direction whicb'Gf
faithfully followed. will rebound to the benefit
Of western insurers. As all are vel aware. the
great majority of the insurance companies are
situated in the east. This fast necessitates the
forwarding TO the east from the west the whole
of the premiums, thus constituting an enormous
drain upon the capital OF the west. 1t is com.
puted that the State OF Illinois alone annually
seIds away thus more tn an S1OOO,000, while
the total amount forwarded from the west aud
south is said to exceed Sj00O0,O0O. The use of
these vast sums of money could a easily as not
be saved to these sections, and it is the reforma.
tory move in this direction which constitutes
the peculiar feature of the Economical, of Rhode
Island.
This company proposes to divide the various
states into departments, each of which will be
presided over by local board of directors, under
whose supervision the money accruiAg from the
payments upon premiums shall be invested in
their own immsdl .e District, instead of being
RENTED to the head quarters of the company.
The departments are to be subdivided into dis
tricts with district boards Of directors The
Chicago department has already been organized,
the board consisting O. he following reliable
gentlemen, each of whom is policy holder in
the company TO the extent of $4,000 at least:
F. c. Taylor Edward W Russell. Ezra L.
Sherman, Francis 5. Howe, Timothy Wright,
Henry X. Pay-on, NJ. ID. Ogden Redmond Prin.

b. Boomer, Orainel :. Hough, Louis VAIL,
NJ. l.. Scuddeg, ir., George W. Gage, John A.
Rice, Vim. 3. Howard.
By reference to our advertising columns il will
be perceived that the district board of Ottawa
has also been organized upon this mos: COM
mendable plan. and is composed OF men OF thor.
ough reliability and integrity. Under the rules
these gentlemen are JoHq fde policy holders, and
may, therefore. be depended upon as Icing ready
to do their utmost to subserve the best interest.
of their Fellow insurers. This cooperative plan
must command the patronage OF the community,

6umner's8peech

We give on our second page liberal extracts
from Summers great speech in the L. S. Sen
ate on Friday OF last week in arraignment OF
General Grant. 1t is regarded as one of the
strongest speeches ever made in the senate,
md as arebuke, the most terrible received bv
any President in our history. The rebuke was
all the more poignant as it came from mem
ber of the Presidents own party. Twenty-Five
years ago no President could have survived
such an assault, but in the present case, the on
y effect has been to indefinitely prolong the
session of congress, (Which was to terminate on
Monday that the force of the assault may be
somewhat softened by sycophantic replies IN
defence of the great nepotist and gift-taker,
while the Philadelphia convention of Office
holders were filled with more determination
than ever to force Grant for second term
upon an unwilling but browbeaten party

Candidates.

The list of candidates for nomination at the
approaching Republican County Convention
grows decidedly formidable, and gives promise
that the proceedings of the annual slaughter
pen Will be unusually sangmnary As the
rule of that cOnventicle hitherto has been,
with very few exceptions, to slaughter the
best men and nominate the meanest, on the
Attic principle that the excessive popularity
of good men is dangerous-to small men, it
would be pretty easy to pick out of the fol-
lowing list the candidates who will probably
be successful, but as We are not in the tat,er-
ing mood, we shall forbear to name them.
For Senator dozen of names are mentioned
on the street. but AS none are au,horitivey
announced, we omit them.
For Representatives we hear also dozen of
names mentioned, but the only one regularly
announced is that Of II. ID. Olmstead, highly
respectable farmer of the town of Freedom.
AZ the representatives will be elected by the
cumulative system, that is, each voter hay
ing three votes to cast, which he can cast,
in his discretion, for one candidate or divide
them among two or three, it is probable the
convention will only nominate candidates !;
for should they nominate three and the dem
ocrats bu: two, the latter would be morally
sure of electlng two of the three representa-
tives
For Circuit Clerk Charley Hook, the pres
inf inc, hant ic tho nDIv candidate ~,
the field, though greedy crowd stand ready
give him chase should they be able to see
remote chance of success.
For Sheriff the list of names actually an
nounced is quite formidable, to say nothing
of the dozen or two who are laying back
watching their chances. The candidates out
in print are, J. Furgeson, of Marseilles, de-
teated by a few votes IN the convention two
years ago; y. c. Mcintyre, of Mendoza A.
Berkenbeuel, of Peru; Arson Potter of
| Adams r. c. Stevens, of La Sale; and JOS
E. Skinner, o. Ottawa. As Danl Blake will
in all probability be reelected sheriff next
fall, 1t looks singular that so long list of re-
spectacle gentlemen should desire so barren
compliment AS mere nomination by as ques.
tiorable body as La Sale county republl,
can convention.
For Recorder also, the list of candidates is
long enough, embracing some of the best

The Philadelphia Convention.

The assemblage of 200 federal office holders
at Philadelphia on Wednesday, tacetiously
called Republican National Convention,
completed the work on Thursday Tor which it
was convened, and which was, to tack a vice
presidential tai to Mr.. Grants presidential
kite. OF course the nomination of Grant was
made by acclamation, but the vice presidency
was the occasion of good deal of sharp
fuglng. Two weeks ago there was little
more doubt of the nomination of the smiling
Coliax than Of Grant himself. But the speech
of Sumner spoiled the Smiler's cakes sadly.
There was no telling how much damage Sum.
ner might not do by '1ishtng tie hilltops
and illuming the valleys OF New England
with his eloquencc' against Grant. SO the
honor of acting as the presidential kite tail
was awarded to a New England man--to
Summers own colleague in the Senate, the
redoubtablc jeremiah Goliath, the famous
Natick Cobbler-Otherwise called Senator
Wilson. The nomination was made on the
first ballot, Wilson receiving 3S4 votes to
Coltax 32!, upon which the nomination OF
Wilson was declared to be unanimous.
The platform adopted consists OF Is rcsolu-
tons, which are fifty characterized as"the thin
nest kind of whltewash.'
The gathering of delegates and lockers on
was immense, but the crowd was hardly a
reputable one, beng marked by such rowd yism
and drunkenness as Philadelphia had never be-
fore seen, or that had characterized any other
like meeting in the history of American pol
itics. The most significant incident connect
ed with it was the indignant Withdrawal o
Gov. Picrrepont, of Virginia, as delegate
from the convention, declaring his disgust toe
great to be longer able to stand it,

responded to this summons hy meeting at
Springfield on the 4th inst, when, after a
