broke out in the second story of E. E.

Hon. Josiah Patterson.

The appointment of Col. Patter-
son as commissioner of Shiloh Park
is a well deserved recognition of a
gallant ex-Confederate officer and
clever and popular gentleman. Col.
Patterson is one Of Tennessee's
most distinguished Sous, one who
acquired a national reputation while
representing this district in con-
gress, and who was universally re-
cognized as the ablest exponent Of
the sound money doctrine during
the Cleveland administration. He
could easily have trimmed his sails
to catch the free silver breeze, like
many of his congressional col
leagues, and enjoyed continued Of
fetal position, at the sacrifice of
principal, but Josiah Patterson is
made of sterner stuff; he isn't that
kind of man; none of the COM
ponent ingredients that constitute
political time-server and sycophant
are found in men of his mental
caliber.
His record as q soldier, lawyer,
statesman, orator and citizen COM
mends him to the confidence and
respect of the people, and the
Federal authorities recognized all
this when they conferred the dis
tinguished honor upon him by this
recent appointment, which meets
with the most cordial approval of
the masses and classes who know
and respect our worthy fellow
citizen.
On retiring from political life
Col. Patterson resumed the duties
of his profession and in the short
period that has since elapsed he has
built up a lucrative practice. The
position which he now fills will not
interfere with his profession nor
will it necessitate his removal from
Memphis. Col. Patterson has re-
ceived hundreds of congratulations
from all sources, for his appoint
ment has given universal satisfac-
tion.-CathOlic Journal, Memphis.
