T. P. Lee, Esq, now of Pittsburg, Pa,
formerly resident of this city, was caller
at this Office on last Thursday, and the day
before had been in Republican headquarters
in Pittsburg. He informed us that the Bit
terest sentiments were there expressed
against the democrats and especially against
the South and in his presence it was declar-
ed in substance that if Mckinley was elect
ed and the Republicans controlled Congress
that a force bill would be passed which
would settle the South politically. This
tends to show the feeling that prevails
against us.

pEATE OF OK. II. m. PATTERSON.

At z o'clock on yesterday morning at his
home in this city, this eminent physician
passed away after an illness of about six
weeks. Until the attack to which he sue
cumbed DR.. Patterson presented every out
ward sign of the best of health. He was
devoted to his profession he enjoyed large
and lucrative practice, he was constantly
about his office OF making his rounds amongst
his patients and little did his friends think
that there was lurking with him a dread dis
ease which would SO suddenly assert itself
with such'fatal results.
DR.. Patterson was born in Staunton in
June 1882. and was therefore in his Goth
year. His father, the late Jas. A. Patter-
son was long the clerk of the Hastings Court
-of. this city, so much respected and so we'll
remembered by many of our citizens.
In early life he located in Huntersville,
W. Va, then Virginia and the county seat
of Pocahontas county. Afterward he pfac-
ticed his profession in Waynesboro. From
there after his marriage he removed to Mop
terey in Highland county, where he resided
until he located in Staunton. His wife,
who survives him. was Miss Emma J. Camp
bell, daughter Of the late John Campbell
of Highland county. They have six chill
dren liying-fve daughters and one son. His
fathers family consisted of four sons and
two daughters, all of whom now living
reside in Pocahontas county. The daughter
is Mrs. james W. Warwick, and the broth
ers, all of who occupy high social positions
in that county. are DR.. S. P. Patterson, of
Huntersville, Frank Patterson of Green
Bank. and J. Howard Patterson, who is the
clerk of the Circuit court of that county.
The immediate cause of DR.. Patterson's
death was acnte diabetis.
The funeral will take place from the First
Presbyterian church this evening at three
o'clock, and the pall-bearers will
be: VIM. B. McChesney, J. L. Beck. P. H.
Trout, Alex. F. Robertson, K. S. Turk,

The President in his hypocritical

All mortals are in constant danger of

thankful for escape therefrom. But
for him to imply that the defeat of the
party that enabled him to become a
millionaire, and that. too, by bribery
and desertion. was an escape from dire
disaster. while characteristic of him, is
positively absurd. He, indeed, has es-
capped an income tax on his millions,
