The New York Sun. In an article head
ed 1.-THE Mother of Presidents" after
calling attention to the fact that Wash
ington established the precedent limiting
the tenure OF the presidential office 10
two terms in the case Of any individual.
and jefferson accepted that precedent as
a principle necessary TO the permanence
of our free institutions, says that the
affirmation Of the unwritten law that
there shall be no third term comes with
peculiar appropriateness from Virginia.
The Sun then quotes the plank in the
Virginia Democratic platform adopted at
Staunton, which pronounces against a
third term, and comments as follows:
Virginia leads Let the Democracy
Of every State in which a Democratic
convention is yet TO be held put itself
as squarely in the right on the third
term question, whether the majority in
it's councils happens 10 be for gold or
for silver"

We acquiesce in the action Of the party
at stanton and what appears TO be the
certain action OF the Chicago convention.
The World is now IN favor OF the nomi-
nation Of free silver man for President
and the adoption OF an unequIvocal plat
form. with such a ticket and platform
defeat would not be a rebuke to the pre-
sent administration, but II would stamp
out the financial heresy so far as the
Democratic party IS concerned. Victory
would give the silverites an opportunity
TO demonstrate the good or the evil Of
their theories.

District does not mean, we take it, that
ne will not vote for the next Democratic
nominee for President. but merely that
he cannot give his support to the propo-
sition to provide for the free coinage of

ton will. we hope. be disposed Of as soon
as the Democrats get control of both

The Post is an able and impartial paper,
and we are always inclined TO give much
weight 10 its opinions. but we must say
that Il is not justified in putting Viz
ginia down I'm the "doubtful' column.
The sllverites and goldites went TO
Stanton to settle their differences. one
or two rounds were fought and the for
mer won fairly. We wish they hadn't
used their power 70 adopt the unit rule
we think in this they made a great mis-
take-but even in exercising this power
they acted respectfully towards the mi
nority, and opened a way TO the Nor
folk District delegates TO keep straight
their personal records on the currency
question. The goldites and silverites We're
on excellent terms with one another at
Staunton. and "A remarkably small num-
Der OF men came away Kicking"
That there are some Democrats i'm Nir-
ginia who will not support free-silver
nominees we cannot deny. but we doubt
81 they are very numerous. If good sense
marks the conduct OF the leaders of the
majority-the leaders Of our party. We
would better say--during the canvass,
nearly all of the members of our party
in Virginia will fall into line by the day
Of election. At least we hope so. and 10
this end we shall work. 'goldbug' $50
called as we are.
Upon the whole. we conclude that Vir-
glnias electoral vote is as certain as any
other States for the Democratic nominees.
II the two sections of our party leave
Chicago in as good humor with one
another as were the goldites and silver
ties at stanton. the Old Dominion may
be put down amongst the most certain
of the Certain" Democratic States To
be sure an independent (goldite) Demo-
cratic national ticket would draw some
votes from US. but could not break our
ranks. for II must be remembered that
OFerrall. Ellyson Tucker. Munford.
Ayers. Glennan, and others are as much
bound to support the action OF the Staun-
ton convention as are Daniel, Swanson.
Otey. Jones Woods. or Tyler. The Post
must remember that in 'Readjusterism''
the Democrats of Virginia had fearful
lesson against allowing our party to be
divided upon transient issue. That les
son was burned into our heads and
hearts, and We don't think that II is
going to be forgotten this year.

BARRIERS are among the most supersti-
tious people in the world. l was talk
ing to II at Lexington the other night
and | asked him what he did to bring
business when times were dull.
why, when trades dull" he said.
"just commence to hone your favorite
razor and you'll see how it will bring
customels in. lisa Ire charm. SUI
perstitiousp Well, l Jhould say SO. 1t
would be difficult to find a more super
%s,itions lot than we colored BARRIERS.
why, | know of plenty of BARRIERS
who will not permit the hair from GUS
toners to he swept out before the days
work is done. They say it's sure bad
luck. Now, you couldn't get me to
shave a man on credit the first thing in
the morning. I'd close up my shop
first. I'd not give much for my days
business if | did not leave some money
in the drawer over night. l never take
out all the money. l always leave a
cent or two there for good luck. l
don't want my friends to call upon me
during working hours. It's a sign of
bad business.
u don't think I'll do well to-day, for
there seems to be q series of unlucky
events following me. l hardly got
away from my house before l met a jet
black colored man.. That's bad enough.
but there were six others that came
right after the first one. Tho bes sign
for good luck you can have in Chicago
is to meet seven black-real black-col-
ored men on your way to the shop.
Why, I've seen BARRIERS come to fist
fights in disputing who had first claim
to the black man. Now. in Pittsburg
one dark-colored man will hoodoo you
for The whole day. Oh, we BARRIERS
have II lot to contend with."-Kcntuc.y

be inundated with hampers filed with
good things. On one occasion an
enormous turkey was sent to him by the
thoughtful Kindness of a %neighboring
farmer; but rs the minister's family had
already provided for the Christmas din
ncr. the bird was sent to the market
and sold.
A passer-by seeing this fine specimen
of poultry, said: what a splendid
turkey! Just the thing for the minister's
