There is very curious labor trouble
in New York city just now. 1t was dis
covered the other day that the polling
booths were being built by non union
labor, and Immediately there was great
cnmnotion. A general strike of all
union labor in the city was lat first
threatned, bull finally it awas decided to
boycott the non-unIon booths on cleo
ton day. The effect of this will be that
the union men in the district where
these booths exist will lose their votes,
and capital will have more than it's pro-
pcrtionate share of influence. This is so
evidently a case of biting ones nose off
to spite ones face that in ali probable,
ity when the unions have had time to
reflect they will adopt some other plan
to give vent to their indignation.

Ing for about three weeks, has at last
decided to take his name off the ticket
Gaynol was put on the ticket not be-
cause the powers that controlled tLe Sar-
atoga convention wanted him but be-
cause it was believed that he would be
attractive halt for independent Demo-
Gratis and Mugwumps. But after reading
his letter the Tammany ring and the
Mclaughlin ring and all the other rings
will feel that they have really met with
personal bereavement, and that eac
and every one of their members ought
to wear Grape for at least thirty days on
account of his departure. The man they
have been looking askanee at because
they thought he was a reformer Turns
out. when he makes full exhibitio
OF his heart to be a sincere admirer of
Senator Hill. who is responsible to a
greater extent than any other man in
the state, for the existence of the rings
against which Gaynor vas fighting last
year, and for the nomination of the be-
smirched Maynard. whom Gaynor helped
to defeat Throughout Gaynor's long let
ter there is to be found but one really
ineligible passage. and that is the one
in which he says that if he thought his
withdrawal would hurt Hill, he would
stick. The rest of it is lot OF what
the New York Post very appropriately
calls gush, and rather poor gush at that.
Gaynor's own personality sticks out all
through it, showing that his stock Of
vanity and conceit is large, and suggesting
that il was more love for notoriety and
applause that led him to fight McKane
than love of justice and deeency. AT any
rate he has shown himself to be any
thing but the courageous and indepen-
dent man he was supposed to be year

Senator Hill has at last formally ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination. He
is going to enter upon the contest. he
says, with the determination that no
honorable effort shall lie spared to
achieve success" PROFESSIONALLY that
determination will be carried out, but
whether his efforts will be confined
strictly to honorable methods is open to
grave doubt. His political methods in the
past have been more conspicuous for
smartness" than honorableness, and
there is just about as much likelihood
of his altering them now as there is
chance of the leopard's changing his
spots or the Ethiopian his skin. In
deed one of the principal dangers that
the Republicans will have to guard
against is that the chance of getting
Hill once more in control of the execu-
tive branch of the state government will
stimulate the rings to almost all sorts of
crooked means. such as false registra-
lion, repeating, ballot-box stuffine and
false counting, the more especially as
the reform Judge Gaynor has manifested
SO much admiration for Hill and desire
for his election as to inspire the hope
that his court will not scan yerv
closely the methods resorted to to bring
about this en1.

uniertans of sI ecuatiun Firm, But cou Sc | of Prlc D Ire Fulnr.


 New York, Nov. s.-The undertone Of speculation at the Stock Exchange was firm. but the course of prices was very irregular The opening was rather weak. Manhattan and American Sugar having reacted about point each. while in- ternational stocks declined A to & per cent. The weakness of the latter was due to sales by London to realize profits. IL will be remembered that the foreign CTS were liberal buyers of American se- curities just previous to the election. The advance yesterday and to-day gave them an opportunity to realize profits which was not negicctad. The stock sold for European holders found ready market. the shorts In St. Paul being es- pecially gratlhed at the change of front on the part of the foreigners. Finally 5000 shares of this stock was sold and readily absorbed by local traders. II was in the industrials, however, that the bulls made the most progress, and met with the least opposition. American Su- gar was advanced from S7h to S9S, Chi- cago Gas from 7i% to 75B@75M, La- Clede Gas preferred from 76N to 79I, Lead from 4oS to 41%, and Consolidated Gas from l2lls to l23ia
 Sugar was strengthened by the ad- vance in refined sugars of l-l6@k cent per pound. There were some wide changes in the anthracite coalers. Jer- sey Central first declined 1G to 9l, and then bounded up to 9iss6D93, and back to 93% Lackawanna sold up h to 16lh, and receded to 16Oh. Delaware and Hud- son jumped 2A to l27%, and reacted to 127B. Colorado Fuel advanced 1is to 25, while the preferred was bid up to 6SR.
 In the closing dealings there was q disposition on the part of the holders to accept profits, and the early gain was partially lost. The feeling, how ever, Is more confident, and believers in higher prices are placing great stress on the political changes. The opinion also prevails that the newly elected congress will take up the interstate commerce law, especially the provision dealing with pooling, and that the changes if any, will be in favor of the roads
 Compared with yesterdays final fig ures prices for the actives show losses of B to F per cent. American Sugar, Chicago Gas, the anthracite coalers, Omaha and Bay State Gas gained % @1% per cent. In the inactive issues Consolidated Gas rose 2, Colorado Fuel IF, LaClede Gas preferred 3h and Lake Erie and Western preferred 1B.
 The bond market was active and strong. Sales were $2,101, ,000. Features were the Texas Pacific and Kansas and Texas issues.

After Twenty Years.

Another of our we'll known and es- teemed townsmen, MT. J. D. Shumway, has just retired from business, after having conducted one of the most suc- cessful photograph galleries in the state for well nigh twenty years. and all of that long period in one spot, the brick building on Chapel street just above the Insurance building, the lower part of which is occupied by Snow, the con fectioner. MT. Shumway has in his long business experience made the ac- quaintance of thousands of people in New Haven and adjoining towns who have patronized his gallery, and he has enjoyed not only a large share of GUS tom, but high degree of popular fla vor. MT. Shumway retires, though yet g. young man comparatively, to devote himself in part to a we'll earned rest and in part to the management of his real estate and other property interests. He will continue to reside on Blake street, Westville, in the Shumway "old homestead" which was the home of his parents, the late MT. and Mrs. Marcus Shumway, who were among the most highly esteemed residents of Westville for so many years. MT. Shumway re- tires from Chapel street with the best wishes of his numerous friends for long life and continued prosperity. He has disposed of his gallery and business to MT. A. B. Corbin, who was for ten years leading operator for MT. Phelps and is ref1tting the premises throughout, pre- paratory to engaging in photographic work of highest grades, for which he has long since demonstrated a peculiar fitness. "4t4 Y s'NE

The managers decided to assemble at the home again this afternoon and re- ceive any of their friends who may De disposed to call. The needs of the home are many. as there are a large number who are now being cared for there, and the gifts ought to be in as large measure as one year ago The managers hope their friends will not forget the home and that the gifts Of the November donation may reach as large an amount as usual There are twenty women over seventy years of age, and ffty-six inmates in all, at the home. One of the greatest needs is the rebuilding of the main structure of the home. This Is an old building and q brick structure should take its place.
