Can,t Find Their Meetings.

We have noticed the fact that General
GEIGER was unfortunate In not finding
meetings he was announced. to address in
this county, although he found the places
at which the meetings were, to be held.
Other gentlemen of the same political faith
have been equally unfortunate.o 0 ON Mon
day. evening couple of them went to
Black Lick, intent upon pouring into Gen
eral MORGAN and the Democratic party a
raking fire. 1t rained some about the time
they arrived at the appointed place, which
consisted of a warehouse and o few build
lings. The chief orator accosted man at
| the warehouse and wanted to know of him
/ II he knew aught OF a meeting that was to
be held there or thereabouts that evening.
The man replied that he did not; but sup
posed the. man just across the way did.
This man came Iup and informed the, ora
tor that the meeting was advertised to be
| held there. The prospect wasi gloomy.
The orator wanted to know how the peo-

President johnson has designated Colonel
Thomas. B. Florence, proprietor of the
