Insurance Risks in War Time in Albany NY
Attorney General Tabor held a hearing on a NY Life Insurance case that could cost the company 6500,000 and threaten its capital. During wartime the firm charged higher premiums for policies on men likely to go to war. Premiums said the class was extra hazardous but would be refunded after the war unless the policyholder died. John C Robinson seeks refund of added rates. The company says the claim is outlawed while Robinson's counsel argues the company is a trustee of the funds. Hundreds of policy holders are affected.

Lincoln and Hamlin in 1864 as seen from 1864
Washington Post summary reports that Lincoln supported a Southern Union man or a Northern war Democrat for the 1864 vice presidency, while not dictating to the Baltimore convention.
