Special Correspondence of the sentinell
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Patrick
| Henry Winston, of pleasant memory
in North Carolina, in spite OF MS
political fricklcneSs, has come out IN
a Spokane paper and declared himself
Populist He says he can't see the
difference between a Democrat and a
| Republican. l wonder if our brill
liant and versatile ex-fellOw citizen is
after office! This was the case when
he turned Republican and went from
Washington City to the State Of
Washington. He was in such high
favor with President Arthur on ac-
count of his fund of first-class jokes
and inimitable way of telling them
that Pat had standing invitation to
dine at the White House every time
he came to Washington. Finally he
and President Arthur became such
good friends that Arthur gave him a
So 900 place as a Republican. Pat ac-
cepted and left for distant Spokane.
| judge he hopes to come here now as
PoDuliSt Senator from the State of
Washington. He must have had in
ducementS to become PopuliSt.
Pats new platform is outlined in the
Spokane Review Of May 9th and is,
''Sui generis."

Lord Warwick, who is at present
staying at the British embassy, was
yesterday a visitor to the Capitol
and lunched with Senator Cabot
Lodge. Before his accession to the
earldom last year Warwick sat for
years in the House of Commons.
''1t is almost a truism now in Eng
land,n said Lord Warwick, that
times are bad because of low prices,
and many of US believe that prices
have fallen because of a growing scar
city of gold. / personally have no
longer any doubt but that the altered
status of silver as money is more re-
SpOnsible for the crisis we are passing
through than all the causes combined.

The Republican caucus has decided
to antagonize the tariff bill. AS a
Democrat, l am glad this is so, for it
makes the G.. O. P. share with the
dominant party the Odium Of delay.
This odium increases daily. Some
thing must be done if depleted
Treasury is not again to menace the
stability of the National finances.
