THE NEW IDEA III POLITICS.

Tho election Of j. Gilbert Stafford as
representative from Brattleboro was Sc
cured under conditions which, according
to the Brattleboro Reformer, were very
lar above board, which makes the vic
tory all the more commendable One Of
The features Of the campaign was the
refusal Of Mr. Stafford to permit the
use Of teams 70 carry voters to the
POLLS, even though defeat was facing
him. It Il likely that his determination
cost MIN many votes, for many men will
not vote until they are transported TO
The polls, and they care little which
side carries them, either. The usual
roundup having beer dispensed with in
hrattleboro by Mr. Stafford, he met With
much opposition from a disgruntled class
of voters, but he overcame that, in addi-
4ion to the usual opposition, and won by
a narrow margin. For thus showing the
courage Of his convictions, although run
ming the chances Of defeat, Mr. Stafford

days included every state in which slavery had existed before the war, even though remaining in the union Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri-as well as the states that had joined the Confederacy And northern democrats sometimes felt seriously handicapped by belong ing to the party made up chiefly of southerners. Sectional feeling ran high and it was all in the nature of things. But as We got farther away from the war the bloody chasm began to close and when Mckinley, who had been a major in the union army, be- came President, sectionalism was prac- tically buried
 Senator Heyburn's frantic effort to revive sectional animosity will fail miserably. Because the Newport News customs house was closed on a legal holiday in Virginia in honor of Robert E. Lee, Idaho's senior sena- tor demands an investigation. While northern editors are writing eloquent expectations of the Confederate chief tain and many northern orators are speaking words of eulogy on this splendid southern hero Senator Hey burn is making himself ridiculous by his artificial patriotism and his sim ulated wrath. A United States senator should be ashamed to indulge in this sort of f1apdoole.

STOCK EXCHANGE
 FIRMS SUSPEND

New York, January 1e.-There was an episode in the New York stock exchange today more spectacular in many respects than the recent Rock Island fiasco, With a break of more than co points the so- called Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron pool was smashed, two stock ex- change houses were forced to suspend and the market generally underwent se- we're declines, involving the heaviest trad ing since the day of Edward 1T. liar riman's death. Total sales were about 1.163,00O. A rigid inquiry by the governors of the exchange probably will be the aft eimath.
 It was reported tonight that two other stock exchange firms would be forced to suspend tomorrow. It was expected in some quarters that the failures of two ad- ditional firms would be announced before the market closed today, and there was talk of the filing of a third petition in bankruptcy, but this was not done up to the close of the United States district court.
 The firms involved today are J. M. Fiske & Co.,, 42 Broadway and Lathrop, Has, kins & Co.,. 60 Broadway The failure was caused by the collapse of the pool and in- voluntary petitions in bankruptcy were filed against both the firms.

NEW BRIDGE WILL
 BE THROWN OPEN

Gadsden, January 1s.--(Special.)- The new bridge of the Louisville and Nashville railroad over the Coosa river will be completed far enough tomorrow to be thrown open to public travel. The entire structure has been put in wnlls trains were crossing every day. This took some clever engineering, but no train was ever held up during the. six months that the structure has been in process of erection longed than it took the workmen and their train to get out of the way. The public will well come the reopening of the bridge, as crossing the stream by way of the ferry has been a great inconvenience.
 Mayor W. T. Murphree. chairman of the county democratic executive com mittee will issue a call tomorrow for a meeting of the committee to set a date for the county primary The commit tee will be called to meet Saturday, February 5.
 The Gadsden Car works is running to its fullest capacity these days in an effort to keep up with the work. Elec- tric lights are being installed through the plant and night shift will be put on to heip out in the rush. Extensive extensions are also under way that will double the capacity of fhe plant and these will be completed within the next 60 to go days.
 There seems to be little opposition to the proposed bond issues that are con templated for the benefit of the water works and the public sch hools and tho general opinion seems to be that the election called for their Endorsement will carry by very large majority.
