The Gov rnor Kissed the General.

Governor J. B. Morgan, of Georgia, addressed a large audience at Cleveland, 0., Tuesday night. At the end of his speech he offered to answer any questions that might be asked him. “What have you to say of General Jackson’s speech at Macon?” inquired a man in the audience. “Nothing,” said Governor Gordon. “Do you consider it treasonable?” asked the man. “I have nothing to say,” was the Governor’s reply. General C. W. Morgan, of Mount Vernon, introduced the Governor. General Morgan closed his eulogy referring to the stars and stripes, saying that it was the only flag. Just then Governor Gordon walked rapidly to where General Morgan was standing •nd kissing him directly in the mouth.
