PATTERSON SPEAKS TONIGHT.
FROM A SOUND MONEY STAND
POINT.

Mr.. PattersOn's Plain and Logical
he one That the LabOrInE Man
should Hear-It VIII Interest All
CIasses-The Speaking at odd Fell
lows Hall Promptly ut $3.50
O'Clock.
The committee on arrangements for Hon.
Josiah Patterson's speech. which Will be
delivered at odd Fellows hall tonight, re-
ceived a telegram from him yesterday
stating that he would leave Augusta this
morning and will arrive in Savannah at
$3.50 O'Clock. city time.
Mr.. Patterson will be met at the Central
railroad depot by the committee, consist
ing of Capt John FIannery. chairman;
Col. w. W. Gordon. Capt. Charles S. Ellis.
Messrs. ], S. Collins and Hugh Logan, and
from there will be taken to the De Soto
hotel. The committee understood that
Mr.. Patterson was to speak in Augusta
Saturday night, instead Of last night, as
was the case. and on that account ex-
pected him TO reach Savannah either Sun
day night or yesterday morning.
that understanding. but will. of course.
have to undergo some change. He will be
given a drive around the city and trip
down the river, besides which It Is prob
able that an informal reception will be held
at the De Soto hotel.
Mr.. Patterson is an earnest worker In
behalf of sound money, and his speeches
are doing a great deal of good wherever
they are delivered. He told the Savannah
delegates when they were in Memphis that
when he came TO Savannah he would be
glad to meet anyone interested in the sub
subject and discuss and explain whatever
points they might desire to ask about
odd Fellows hall will no doubt be taxed
10 its capacity tonight. Mr.. Patterson
is considered one of the best read and deep
est thinkers on the financial question, and
he has the logic OF the money question at
his finger ends. He explains 1t in such
a way that it is readily understood, even
by those who have given no time and at
tention to its study. To hear his speech
may well be said to be an education on the
financial question.
The sound money movement is emphati-
cally one made by the business men of the
country. What the business men demand
they usually get, and instances have been
very few and far between where they
have failed in the accomplishment of a
desired end. They want to keep the cur
rency on good sound basis, and they feel
that there is little doubt of their being
able to do this. The politicians are keep
ing in the background, so to speak, and
don't known which way to jump. So far
the majority Of them have not dared
jump either way.
The meeting tonight will be one which
every laboring man who can possible do
So should attend. Mr.. Patterson will
show them in plain and simple logic why
they should stand by the sound money
flag. He will show them that II is to thelr
interest to do so. He will show them
how free silver will increase the cost Of
living, while 1t will not increase their
wages
In fact, the address will be one Of inter-
est TO every class Of citizens. Savannah
has very few free silverites
within her limits, but If they
attend the meeting at odd Eel
lows hall al $50 o'clock tonight IL is safe
to predict that there will be some con-
verts before tomorrow morning
