HON. ORyILLE YERGER.

James NJ. Greer and L. w. Miller have
shown that they were worthy of the positions
to which they aspired by the cordial support
they have given their successful rivals since
their defeat. Such magnanimity and iDHex
IDLE devotion to party Will receive its reward.
Especial praise IS due II Hon. Orville Yer
ger for the interest he has manifested in the
success of the ticket nominated by a conven-
ton in which Mr.. Yerger was defeated in his
first experiment as a candidate. A public
meeting was held at Capleville on Saturday
last by the mongrels. No Democratic speaker
or candidate could be induced to attend; but
so soon as the people of Capleville called for
Mr.. Yerger's services he gave them with
alacrIty, and we are told that he literally
demolished Colonel J. L. Harris. Mr.. Yer
ger also addressed the Democracy of the tenth
ward on Monday night, and has been invited
to address the people in various parts of the
county during the pending canvass. He is
one of the best speakers in the State, and has
made many friends by his fidelity to his party.
