The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1894-09-28
Patterson andYoung at White
WIie.


The candidates for congress on Tuesday
morning arrived in Whiteville from BOli-
var, at about half past ten O'Clock. A
great Outpouring of people assembled on
the principal street Of that tiOurishing
to wn / o manifest their esteem for our wor
thy Congressman, and when the carriage,
in which he was being conveyed to the
home of his friends, neared the assembled
multitude, the SomervilIe band, which had
been engaged for the occ aston, played Dix
lie. but the sweet strai MS of IN usc were
soon drowned by the burst of applause with
which Col. Patterson was greeted. Across
the street that Col. Patterson entered
streamers bearing testimonials of fealty to
him were extended. How. different was
the reception of Col Young, Not even did
the populites show him homage. As ST.
lentIy rs if il had been the advance of a
funeral procession the surry that bore
him entered the town. No ensigns OF Col.
Young's were unfurled. The only scene
calculated to inspire him was the few "Pla
form Democracy" badges. We do not mem
TO convey the idea that the whole OF the
assemblage favor either of the congressiOn-
al candidates. There is no doubt howev-
er, that Col Patterson's friends were by tar
greater, numerically, than Col. 1oung'5
The speaking occurred in beautiful grove
south o. Whiteville Col. Patterson spoke
first and was introduced by Hon. j. W.
Wilkes, as the present and next Congress
man of the 10 h Congressional District.
He spoke for an hour and half and 1t Is
seldom. if ever, a spea ker was accorded
>uch attention. His reasoning powers are
unquestionably great, his logic is clear and
concise and his eloqueuce on that occasion
was of such force that ii seemed to elecri
fy those who sat under the sound of hi
voice. In the evening, Col. Young was i'll :
troduced by Hon. Ii b. Wynne, in neat
speech Of a few Minutes duration. Col.
Young Is a fluent speaker but his tort Is
sarcasm, wit AMI personal thrusts. His abll-
ity to grasp and solve Intricate subjects Is
nor, in our judgment, equal TO that of Col.
! PaIterSOn's. Young depends upon few
who have written upon the subject OF polit-
ical economy to sustain him in his POSITION,
while Col. Patterson depends upon history
and his osn reasoning powers Both OF the
speakers were presented with beautiful
boquets of flowers.
NOTES.
1t isverY evident hat majority of the
democrats Of the fourth district are not in
favor OF law that would require the own
ers of gold mines to pat 100 cents OF bul
| lion in gold dollar, and allow the owner
OF silver mines to pass 80 cents worth OF
bullion as a dollar, which weuld be the
result authorizing the coinage Of the two
metals al Is to /. In other words, they in
dorse the financial plank OF the d. mocratiC
party, which says that both metals must be
of equal, intrinsic and exchaDgeable value
Coz. Young asserted in his speech al
| Nhdeville thai the decline in cotton is
due 10 the denomination Of silver.
T. c. Stuart asked him If silver dollar
was not a legal tender. lie. admitted thai
| il is, and that the silver dollar was remOne-
| tized in 1878. He also admitted that the
! United States did not control the price o.
cotton. Now If silver was remonetized il
| 1873. how can the decentralization OF silver
affect the price OF cotton now? But Tor the
sake of argument, admit that silver Is now
demonetized in the United States, hoW
could that affect the Price OF cotton wher
IL price is CONT oiled bv a foreign natiOn'
col. Young asked Hon. Josiah Patter-
son in his speech at NhiteTIlle who he cot
sidered populites? His reply was thOst

/ ted several hands were raised 10 that pOf
Ton of the audience which wax applaud

who had voted for Weaysr to come out from
the crowd, so that they might be counted
but the pops refused to come.
q. A. Duncan said that it was ito trying
on them to appear where tn y might b,
