VirriniaS New Governor.

To-day in Richmond the Hon. James
Hocc Tyler will Doe inaugurated Gov
ernor nf the state Of Virginia. IL was
his desire that the ceremonies should be
OF very simple character, but his
enthusiastic friends will probably not
allow the day 10 pass without a jubilee
Of 10 small size iu honor of the event.
II Is reported that Mr.. Tyler will be the
first farmer who has sat i'm Nirginiss
Gubernatorial chair Tor forty years, and
that the agriculturists OF the safe, on
this account, expect unusual results
from his administration. But the new
Governor is something more than a
tiller OF the soil. for he has been more
or less prominent figure In Democratic
politics IN the Old Dominion for over
twenty years. lie IS well-known TO the
people Of nearly every paft Of the state.
a. ne has been a great campagner and
has made political speeches from one
end OF Virginia TO the other.
Major Tyler IS q man Of high charac-
Ter. OF generous nature and holds an
honorcd position IN the Presbyterian
Church TO which he belongs. His great
est falling Is his repeated and earnest
advocacy Of free silver. OF
course I'm his GubernatOrial chair. Major
Tyler will have no opportunities 10 put
those dangerous theories 20 the test and
II may be- that his experience with the in
volved finances OF Virginia may teach
him the lesson that sound money IS Just
an necessary for the welfare OF state
as Il IS for the welfare OF a nation. Let
us hope that this Will Dc the case
The American tenders It's cOngratula-
lions 10 the new Governor Of a neighbor-
ing state upon his Inauguration day. May
ne live long. and grow wiser every year.
