The Greenback. Labor National Conven-
ton, dt Chicago, adjourned finally at ten
minutes past six o'clock on last Friday
morning, after nominating General James
B. Weaver, of Iowa, for President, and Gen,
L. j. Chambers, of Texas, for Vice Presi-
kent. Each was nominated on the first
ballot. James Is. Weaver,resdes at Bloom
field, Iowa, and is the present member Of
Congress from the Sixth Iowa District. In
Congress Mr.. Weaver has been one Of the
most extreme Greenbackers, and last April
he attracted the attention Of the country by
his frequent attempts-for long time de-
festod by Speaker Randall-but finally sue
cessful, to get before the House a series of
resolutions declaring that il was the sense
of Congress that all currency, whether
metallic or paper, should be issued and
its volume controlled by the government
and not by or through the banks, and should
be full legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private, and that nearly
eight hundred million dollars Of the public
debt falling due in 1881 should not be re-
funded beyond the power Of the Government
to call it in and pay at any time but paid off
in silver dollars, and to accomplish this end
the mints were to grind out the dollars to
their utmost capacity. 1t is needless to say
that this bright financial scheme failed to
pass. lie was also the author Of the cele-
brated bill, now slumbering in Committee,
TO pay to all the Union soldiers OF the war Of
the Rebellion, or their representatives, the
difference in their pvy in greenbacks and
gold, at the value of gold at the time of pay
ment. Mr.. Weaver was born at Dayton o.,
June u, 1888. He received common school
education, studied law, and graduated at
the Cincinnati Law School in April, 1856,
and has since been engaged in the practice
of law. He enlisted as private in the I'd
Iowa infantry in April, 1861, and was soon
elected first lieutenant of Company G, same
regiment He was promoted to Major oc-
tober 3, 1852, and was commissioned Colonel
October IL, 1862, the Colonel and Lieuten-
ant Colonel having both been killed at the
battle of Corinth, Mississippi. He was bre.
vetted Brigadier General of Volunteers for
gallantry on the field" to date from March
Is, 1864. In October, 1866, he was elected
District Attorney of the Second Judicial Dis
trct Of Iowa, and was appointed U. S. AS
SCISSOR Of Internal Revenue for the First Dis
tsict of Iowa in January 1867, holding the
office for six years, when it was abolished
by law. He was elected to the Forty-sixth
Congress from Iowa as member OF the Ma
tional Greenback party.

Ex-senator James Ashton Bayard, father
of the present Senator, Thomas Franklin
Baysrd, of Delaware, whose death was an.
nounced from Wilmington, on Sunday last,
was born in that city November Is, 1899,
and was the son of the Senator bearing the
same name. He represented Delaware in
the Senate from 1851 to 1854, when he re-
signed, although he had just been elected to
serve for third term. Nevertheless, in
1867, he was appointed by the Governor Of
Delaware to fill the unexpired term of sena-
tor Riddle, and, retiring finally in 1s69,w
succeeded by his son, Thomas Francis Bay
ard. The deceased statesman, while in the
Senate, was Chairman of the Committee on
the Jundiciary and of the Committee on the
Library. His reports, like his speeches
were clear, logical and vigorous. He sat in
the Senate when the Southern Senators Sc
ceded, and he took strong ground against
their withdrawal. Since his retirement from
the Senate the ex Senator has resided chiefly
in Wilmington. He went to Europe some
years ago to consult physicians in Germany
for the relief Of his deafness, an infirmity
under which he had labored before the close
of his public career. lie had been failing
in strength for long time.

We notice by our exchanges, that the
Lycoming Insurance Company, of Muncy,
this State, which has hitherto done an i'm
mense fire insurance business nearly
ell over the country for a number of years
past, has withdrawn all its agencies west OF
Pennsylvania, assigning as a reason for so
doing that the unprecedented number Of
large fires, together with low rates of prem
iums, have rendered the business Of fire in
surance improbable. The circular TO agents
requests the immediate reports of business
done and remittances Of balances due, but
promises nothing in return for premiums,
paid except Certificates of Indebtedness. -
The circular does not state how the losses
are to be paid. The recent heavy conAag.
rations in Pennsylvania and other Eastern
Stutes, it is understood, are the immediate
cause for the action of the company. The
Lycoming Company was a mutual and cash
company, and on December 31st last, t,accord-
ing to the published statement had gross as
sets of cash nature, S35S,s24i gross liabili-
ties, $3O4,7O2; surplus, $49,l2O. Under the
mutual system the company claimed to have
premium notes running up into the millions
but the failure to collect assessments on
these notes in time of need has, it is be.
lieved, forced the company to adopt the new
course. The agents of the company in Chi
cago issued circular week ago, on which
the assurance is given that the company
will be able to meet and pay all obligation
ifagents will only have patience and awai
the collection Of the assessment already
laid, which is for a sufficient sum to NEE
all claims.

While our period of youth and growth
and development lasts, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, we shall never cease to furnish
cause for astonishment to the countries of
Europe. "Fiiteen years ago" says the Lon
don Aeiss, "any one Who had ventured to
predict that in 1879 the U. s. would not only
have paid off a considerable portion of its
public debt but be also in a commercial and
financial position to draw upon the gold re-
serves of Europe, as it has done within the
past year, would have been treated as a lu-
natic. But there was no such prophet. At
that tune men of great commercial and fl
nancial experience did not hesitate to say
that the debt could not, aud would not, be
development of American production which
We have witnessed during the last few years
was not so much Os imagined" Our London
contemporary takes this retrospective glance
IN the course Of an article on the withdraw
ais of gold from England and France for the
United States, in which it does not attempt
to conceal its uneasiness at the prospect, the
amount Of gold shipped to this country in
four months from the lst of August last year
having been about 5000, 900. A look in
TO the past is interesting sometimes, and fur
nishes instructive contrasts. In May, 1855,
li.tle more than fifteen years ago, just when
the Confederacy was tumbling to pieces,
the London Times copied and endorsed a
statement of the Journal Of Commerce, that
# our national debt was not paid in two
years Il would be in danger of reputation.
At that time the Confederate cotton loan,
which was quoted at II after the fall OF
Richmond, had fallen TO IL on the receipt
Of Lees surrender. Our fve-tweuties had
come up from little above so TO 65 or 20 in
the London market in less than a month
That was the moment when the sunshine
FIRST burst through the clouds. At home ma
iionsi hope was high. The daily subscrip-
lions 10 the new seyen-thirty loan astonished
everybody. % the LIST of October, 1865 The
debt o. the nation, less the funds in the
Treasury, was 81, ,74l ,S9O,922 The last debt
statement showed the debt to be 81 9sO,S92,,
s2l, reduction of S16O ,09S,O9s in less than
6fleen years, or at the rate Of So, zoo, 600 a
year. This looks as if there was pretty
deep determination In this country that the
debt shall be seriously dealt with" 1t il

LOOK AT THESE FIGURES.

1t may now be instructive, says the N. Y.
Sun, to take look at some figures which
bear upon the coming election. The whole
number of electoral votes is 800, of which
231 are cast by the Northern States and 19S
by the Southern. The number necessary to
the choice of the President Is 1856.
AS against Garfield, it is not too much to
say that any strong, fair, acceptable Demo-
cratic candidate could get the entire 1873
votes of the Southern States. Indeed, no
Republican believes otherwise, or even pre-
tends to the contrary. With these 1873 votes
the Democratic candidate would require AZ
in the Northern States to give him the 1856
which are requisite TO an election.
Where could an acceptable Democratic
candidate look, with a reasonable degree of
certainty for these Al Northern votes Here
are four States that went for Tilden and
Hendricks in 1876, when both political par.
tics did their very best:
New York ..........35 New Jersey...... o
COnnectieut.......... Q Indiana.
Total........ '....................... 90
1t will be perceived that il the Democratic
candidate could carry New York and Indi-
ana, they would give him so votes, or three
more than the needed Al. Precisely the
same result would follow if he could carry
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
though he lost Indiana. But it will be seen
that even if he could obtain the 80 votes Of
Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana, be
would be II short of the needed Al. There
fore he must carry New York or make up
for its loss by getting the votes of some other
Northern State or States,
Let us examine the Republican situation.
We will deal literally with the chances Of
the candidate of that party and give him the
benefit Of all doubts.
OF course Garfield will not get vote in
the South, and his reliance must rest wholly
npon the 23l votes of the North. We will
first deduct from these the 65 votes of New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana
| which were cast for Tilden and Hendricks
This leaves l66, which is 10 less than tn,
requisite number, 1856. But TO reach thi
result we have conceded to the Republican
allthe Northern States except the four whicl
went for the Democrats in 1876. Are no
the Republicans more likely to lose the State
west Of the Rocky Mountains than they ar
to get their 10 votes in New York, Connec
ticut, New Jersey or Indiana? And ar
there not States clustering around the uppe
lakes which the Republicans hold by yer.
slender ties?
However, candid look at the circum
stances of the country as well as at the fig
ures which we have just considered, con
vinces us that the contest is likely to b
sharp and close.
