Democratic Sentinel, Volume 14, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1890 — COL. DAVID H. PATTON. [ARTICLE]

COL. DAVID H. PATTON.

One of the distinguished visitors in our city last week, at the soldiers' re-union, was Col. David H. Patton, of Remington, democratic nominee for congress. The colonel is a man of attractive physique, being six feet tall and weighing two hundred pounds. He is a quiet, unassuming fentleman, with a kindly face and adress, and while he was here, primarily, to mingle with his old comrades, he made many acquaintances and in every introduction left a favorable impression.— Those who expected to see a politician were disappointed. But those democrats and republicans who want a true representative of the people of the Tenth district were eminently satisfied with the personal appearance, general demeanor and ripe intelligence or the colonel. He is a nice man, and will make a solid, conservative congressman: —Rochester Sentinel.

Somehow, every time the tariff goes up, wages go down.
