MONEY TO BET ON M'GRAw.
The Tacoma Buffers Not willing {,
Stake Money on Their Assertions.

TACOMA, Oct. 265Special. Seattle enc
mics in Tacoma who have been talking so loudly
about showing under" the Hon. John II. Nc
Graw, and who have been claquing about wager
ing 81 0O0 on their opinions aud assertions, have
not yet covered the $1,000 put up last night by
an admirer of Mr. McGraw.
Now if there is any man in this county or in
the state who wants to wager on Mr.. McGraws
defeat, he VIII be accommodated for 1900 or
5000 right here in Tacoma. II there be such
parties, and they can not find out where the
money is thst speaks for Mr.. McGraws election
they will be informed by CALI lg at the Tacoma
bureau OF the PosT-INTELLIGEScER, in the post
Office building, l,ii6 Pacific avenue.
The claQuers ought either "put up or shut
up" as the gentleman who put 81 900 on Mr..
McGraws election last night advised them to do
Five thousand dollars on Mr.. McGraw awaits
a taker here. The coin is in the bank.
One man called at the Tacoma bureau OF the
PosT-INTEILIGENcER today. and inquired about
the 81 900 ready to be wagered Mr.. McGraw.
He agreed to return, but he didn't.
The facts do not confirm the appended editor
ial paragraph from todays Ledger:
Tha. Tacoma man that the Posr-IsrELrIGES.
GER tells about, who 10 anxious to bet 81, 900 on
McGraw, can, with little effort, find q taker.
About that amount OF seattle money was sent
here recently to be bet against McGraw.
1t is suggested that the Ledger knows OF
man who came here with $l,0o0,0 900. and who.
with other Tacoma men of wealth, arranged to
secretly knife Seattle and the Hon. John II. Nc
Graw. "These men, 1t is suggested, may be
as sure OF defeating Mr. MeGraw outside of Ia
coma, in the state at large, as they appear to be
OF showing him under IN this city"

Mr.. McGraw was followed by Mr.. Corson, who
delivered incomparably the most eloquent and
powerful speech on the tariff which has been

publican and Democratic parties. At frequent
intervals the speaker was interrupted in his
delivery by great and long continued applause.
