The merchants claim that Clafiin & Co.
have pursued this same policy in Spokane
and other cities in the North west.
The local merchants claim TO have come
out of the fight victorious as the goods
were ordered sold by departments. if in
that way they would net more money. 1t
Is ayered by nearly all the merchants that
in this way reasonable price will be OBJ

TACOMA WILL NOT PLAY.
Football Game with Seattle Declined
Practice Game This Afternoon.


The Seattle Athletic Club is rather in
dignant at present with the Tacoma club
for refusing to play today's game. The
action Of the Tacoma club in neglecting to
inform Seattle officially of its determina-
ton until yesterday afternoon, when the
decision was reached on Wednesday, is
also severely criticised.
Although the Tacoma team would in all
probability have had no show with the
home team. still the game would have
been valuable practice for the Portland
game. and interesting TO the supporters OF
the home team as afforiing an opportu-
nity of seeing Ssatfle's improvement in
team work since the earlier games.
There will be practice game on the
Madison stree, grounds this afternoon be-
tween the first and second elevens, which
wiu be snappy. fast game. and will give
the spectators a chance 10 see the work of
the second eleven that will play Whit
worth college on November - at Sumner,
aud here on Thanksgiving d.. No ad-
mission will be charged for tes practice
game this afternoon. and il is hoped that
the supporters of the eleven Will attend in
a body 10 show their appreciation OF the
fine work done by the team during the
last few weeks.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 16.-Althongh the
Republican state central committee has
yet taken no formal action. Republicans
are considering among themselves the
practicability of contesting the election of
Budd for governor. It has been stated
that ii the Republicans contest in San
Francisco county, as they have threatened,
the Democrats wo4,i bring contest in
every other county in the state. and it
would be months before the question could
be settled. In the meantime Budd would
act as governor. In reply TO this, the
Republicans say that III the election is con-
tested all over the state, the recount would
be made simultaneously by the courts of
the various counties. and that the recount
would be the work of but a few weeks at
the most.

Lafe Pence ON the Currency Question

CHICAGO, Nov. l6.-Congressman Lafe
Pence, of Colorado. in an interview here
today said:
"If Mr.. Cleveland persists in his profes-
sion that the national banks should issue
the money of the country and congress is
subservient TO his will, then look out for
the breaking up Of the Democratic party
in the South. Since the days of Andrew
Jackson the Southern Democrats have
been opposed to the farming out of the
issue of the peoples money, and they will
desert the rarty If its leaders persist in
that policy"
Mr.. Cleveland is so determined in his
course. according to Congressman Pence,
that to maintain 1t he would be willing
and even TO go down in history as the last
of the Democratic presidents.
