DIDN'T CARE FOR OFFICE.
Patrick Henry Winston Springs a Sur
prise on the POpulIsts.

prise on the POpulists.
North YAKIMA. WASH, June So
The populists have adjourned the con-
manned in session, as there is no way
for them TO get home except by team.
Several, however, have gone this way.
Last night after the nominations had
been finished, w. j. Jenkins of What
com said in substance that he could
now say what lie could not before
without having his motives impugned.
1t was that he believed that the slight
hostile feeling apparent toward Patrick
Henry Winston was unjust, as was
also the feeling that Mr.. Winston was
in attendance at the convention TO Sc
cure the congressional nomination. He
wished the delegates to request Mr..
Winston to address them. This was
greeted with one grand yell of APP
plause, several starting for the motel
after Mr.. Winston. During their alb
sence M. p. Bulger of Pierce arose and
said he wished to emphasize what had
Leen said by reading The following let
ter. which had not been read before be-
cause Winston had not been placed ia
nomination.
NORTH YAKIMA, June 29.-M. p. Bulger,

thing that bothers me is when and how to
