YoNKERs, Jan. 30-The fearless Suns eX-
posure Of the accomplished scoundrel who led
the Market Savings Banks Secretary 70 ruin has
created a stir among our politicians. The man
Charles G.. Patterson lived In Yonkers for few
years, and so ingratiated himself in the good
graces Of men like William Roner, Dan Shmi-
non, John G. Donohue, Tom Smith, and tha, lllS,
that they gave him the Democratic nomination
for President OF the village in the spring Of 1871.
Although Patterson spent some 5000 to secure
his election, his i'll fame had reached the ears
Of the leading respectable Democrats " the
place, and he was defeated by a majority Of 10
for his opuonent, in vote of LA.
Patterson Is the smoothest- DICED and most
attractive rogue ever saw. lie has faculty Of
talking himself into the confidence of almost
anybody. enclose his speech made at the Con-
vention NEARLY every delegate to which, by tho
'.a, WAY, was a. uouHnt 9p Win ratteIson nonSS a.
Of this village. His remark thereon about
booking out for the orbit Of personal cxperi-
ence Into the circle Of general conviction has
been standing joke ever since It was uttered,
and the Democratic organ in this place has fe-
quenty used u 10 telling manner.
Patterson lived In grand style here-his house
was most elegantly furnished, he lived hgh,
tanned his friends In this best style. | am no.
surprised to learn that his many confidence ope-
He deserves place IN Sing Sing near that other
fonkers rascal, Okeli, who T. serving term
stolen from the Norwalk Bank.
