BATA.VIA, Nov. 1. Am the campaign draws to. a close the political battle In Genesee County wages' very not. There is much strife going on and bitter feeling exists over the local ticket.

It la surprising what a strong sentiment is manifest in this rural county In favor of Bird; s- Coler for Governor, and the local Republican leaders are realizing the fact that Od ell's normal Republican vote is going to be greatly Increased. They are bending every energy to make a vote for Odell wherever possible. Daily Republicans about Batavia who have been loyal to their party all their life are heard to say that they are going to vote for Coler and the entire Demo cratic ticket It is Quite certain that the Republican majority in this county which is ordinarily about 1,800 to 2,000 will be materially decreased and the result a sad surprise to the leaders. One reason for the local dissatisfaction with Odell's administration may be attributed to the fact that the State School for the Blind, a charitable institution, is located in this village, and the present Governor's dealings with State institutions is generally known. In the county campaign there seems to be a tidal wave in favor of the Demo cracy.

The Democrats are united and hopeful. They are confident that with the united Democratic vote and the support of the hundreds of dissatisfied Republicans in every town of the county, they will elect Merritt S. Dunlap sheriff over David Clark and Joel A. Loveridge school commissioner over C. W.

Stickles. Mr. Dunlap is one of the best known1 and most popular men in the county and his reputation is unlmpeached. The Republican organization headed by Sanders is very much alarmed over the strength that Dunlap Is developing and every effort is being made to obtain votes for Clark. They are dropping Stickle and using every possible means to save Clark from defeat.

They know; he is unpopular, not only In his own town, but everywhere in the county, but he is one of Sanders' tools and they are going to elect him if they can. His nomination was forced upon the party and they now are endeavoring to induce the people to support him at the polls. There is now pending In the Supreme Court of this county, the case being on the November calendar; an action against Mr. Clark for assault brought by Orlo G. Marston, a Republican, and a prominent citizen of Corfu, Mr.

Clark's home town, to recover $1,000 damages. Mr. Clark struck Mr. Marston in the face blacking his eyes and knocking him down, because, it is alleged. Mar ston declined to support Mr.

Clark. Very much of a sensation has been caused by the public announcement in the local press that Ralph Sanders (a brother of Internal Revenue Collector Sanders), has placed in the hands of Fred E. Taggart of this village $200 to "place on the Republican candidate for Mr. Taggart is a Democrat and has been an enthusiastic one all his life. He is under obligation to some of the Republican leaders in a financial way, it is said.

That the money was left In Mr. Taggart's hands is a fact undisputed, and for what purpose "it was left in the hands of a Democrat 1" a question. Taggart in a signed statement says that Ralph Sanders came to him on Friday last and asked him wnerner ne couia piace any money on the Republican candidate for Sheriff. and that as a business proposition he took $200 of Sanders' money for that purpose. Taggart does not say what he hat done with the money; whether he hae placed any.

or, if so, where; or at what odds Sanders told Mm to bet it, or whether he intends to bet any at all. The question is euggested what reason Sanders should have in placing hia money in the, hands of a life-long Democrat to bet for him, and if he has not enough Republican friends in the town of Batavia to whom he could entrust his money to be placed for him, how many other Democrats have received money from Sanders to bet for him. The battle will be fought out until the closing of the polls and the Democrats are confident of victory. Special to THE TIMES. WARSAW, Nov.

Few People Know How ITsefnl it fa In Preserving" Health an Bennty. Nearly everyone knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more vnu talrA nf It the better- It tint dm at au, out simpiy aosoros tne gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath aftet smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.

It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the mouth and throat froas the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in torm or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money-is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting los-engea. the charcoal being mixed with hThe" daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advlaa Stuarf Absorbent Lozenges to all patients Buffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great ly DeDeniea vj use umi mdv iuciu, they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's 'Absorbent Lozenges man in I any of the ordinary, charcoal tablets." REPUBLICANS ADMIT THEIR CITY AND COUNTY TICKET IS DOOMED.

HOFFMAN POPULAR ALL EFFORTS ARE BEIXG COX-. CE5TKATED TO SAVE GEORGE I. THOMPSON, ASSE3IBLY i CANDIDATE. Srclal THE TIMES. LOCKPORT, Nov.

1. On the eve of. election the Republican leaders see de- feat staring them In the fact. They have given up trying to elect any part the county or city tickets and have now trained all their batteries in an endeavor to save the Assembly candidate, George Ti Thompson, of Middle-port, from the' general wreck. They need him; at Albany for many reasons.

Chief of i these is the, election of a United Spates Senator and Thomas C. Piatt demands that he be re-elected, no matter other candidates may have to be sacrificed. The Republican ward workers offer trade vote on Mayor, Sheriff, County Treasurer, In fact, on anything that willi help elect Thompson in this district. I Men have been going through the towns offering $5 and even as high $10 for a vote for Thompson alone. Wherer these officers are not successful.

they have tried various threats of challenging votes and in other ways attempting to intimidate voters. With Thompson at Albany, the present Republican machine could hold it3 grasp on the patronage, national and State, as his vote for Piatt will mean that Piatt will again support Major Low and all the rest of the men who have continuously held public office for years. It will keep the same combine at work on the canal. In fact it will help the machine to again help itself. Sneak legislation is a hobby with the local Republican machine leaders and order to obtain it they must have Thompson at Albany Certain it is that Joseph M.

Hoffman, the Democratic opponent of Mr. Thompson will not take orders contrary to the wishes of the people, from either Republican cr Democratic leaders. He is a man of independence and has not been a pro fessional office seeker, agreeing to any thing that was asked of him, in order to obtain the nomination. Friends of the other candidates on the Republican ticket can see no reason why they should be traded off for votes for Thompson. They think that if a concerted effort was made for the whole ticket by the Republican leaders It might at least pull through some of them, as it is figured by them that Thompson's defeat is a foregone conclusion.

With a desperation borne of despair the machine cries aloud, "Give us Thompson, or we perish." Baker Is a sure winner in the city and conservative Republicans place his majority at 150. This will be large when taken into consideration that Huston was elected Mayor two years ago by majority of 250. Roy H. Ernest has conducted a quiet and careful canvass for police justice and his victory Is assured. His opponent, although a law partner of John A.

Merritt, has a strong backing but Lockportians are determined to throw off the yoke of the bosses this year. and strike with a frea, and determined hand. TRIED TO HEAD OFF MR. WADE SIXON ELEMENT FAILS TO KEEP JAMESTOWN MAN OCT OF MAYVILLE. Special to THE TIMES.

MAYTVILLE, Nov. 1. Arthur C. Wade of Jamestown spfeke at a Republican political meeting held here tonight. His speech, however, was not delivered until aftef considerable friction had develop ed, When It was announced that Mr.

Wade i intended to speak the Nixon forces came to the front and protested against the appearance of the Jamestown man. They asked to have Mr. Nixon substituted in Mr. Wade's place. The trouble between the warring forces In the Republican party has been acutely accentuated both by the coming of Mr.

Wade to this place and by the steps taken by the Nixon contingent to prevent his appearance. Mr. Wade was given a rousing reception by those opposed to Nixon and his political tactics. raIlroads are favored OLE SNYDER EXPOSED GOV. ODELL'S DOUBLE DEALING, i PRESERVE STRIPPED.

Special to THE TIMES. TONAWANDA, Oct. 1. Mr. Snyder, iu his speech here last night, dwelt upon the importance of maintaining the Water supply necessary to preserve the level of the Erie Canal, especially on the Jordan level.

He showed how Gov. Odell direct contradistinction to the actions of bis predecessors in office, has permitted abuses of the reservoirs in the Adirondack forest preserve, and Vm nt all' times nlainlv evidenced hia entire carlessness nf this imnortant how he has attempted to cut out all the spurce timber down to eight inches. How he has- permitted the state to expend $5,000 for the construct ion of a spillway for the express benefit, not of the State, but of the lumbermen: how 125.000 was appropriated for another purpose, only $5,000 of which was i sDent tor the purpose indicated, the trest being used in unaccountaoie manner. In other words, he showed that tne Odell Dolicy in reference to the Adiron dack forest preserve is one of absolute indifference to tne rights or the people the matter ef game and fish, and In, the even more important matter Ot preserving the virgin growth of wood land, which alone can preserve the water supply of the Black River, the Hudson and Innumerable other streams which find their courses in the Adiron dack region. It is a cute plan of the railroad men have the canal dried up, so as to remove It from the field of competition; the cutting of the Ad- 1 1- i nnt nnlw t': but I would result in the- practical destruction of the rivers of the State as well.

But such a Calamity would amount to naught in the eyes of the men who would bring It about, because thllr pockets would be stuffed at the expense and the distress of the people SOLD TO A BUFFALO MAN.

Much sympathy is expressed for the families of Patrick loakler and Patrick Kelly, not only for the affliction which has fallen upon1 them but for the reason that they will be unable to sue the Ontario PoweJ- Company for damages. A representative of THE TIMES learned from several of the lawyers of the city that there jtvas no redress for the relatives of the deceased men; that the only way in which damages could be secured was for the government to take the matter up and to make the accident aiji international affair, which is improbable. There is la disposition on the part of the official of the Ontario Power Company to effect a settlement. The com pany officials express much regret at the sad occurrence. Solicitor Hill, in speaking pt the matter today, said "We are desirous of making a gesier- ous settlement with the families of the two men, In fact advances looking to ward a settlement of some sort have already been made.

We regret the occurrence as much as any one, and are ready! to do all in our power towards relief for the families of the dead menJ" It has been learned that the Ontario Power Company has. up to the present time, paid all expenses incurred by the relatives of the ttvo men whil they were at the hospital and later jwhen death occurred. The Po'er Company officials claim that the coroner's verdict holding them guilty of negligence a.a not warranted by the facts brought out at the cor oner's inquest on Friday night. It was stated by Engineer Suhr that 2,500 pounds of powder and 300 pounds of dynamitej was used in the blast. The coroner seemed to be of the opinion that the entire explosive force of the 2,500 pounds of powder and the dynamite was! concentrated at one point, while the jfact was that the powder and dynamite I was distributed in several places, there being a concentration at only one point, 1,500 pounds of powder being placed in one shaft.

The Poiwer Company officials state that the Utmost care will be exercis! in the future, as has been the case in the The men who are engaged in preparing a site for the power house are the sime as those who, constructed the Gorge Road, in which so much heavy blasting was done without injury to anyone. The men were selected with especial care, it being known that they werje men of experience in this line of work. PARTY UNITED IN EAST AURORA DEMOCRATS PLEASED AT THE OUTLOOK REBPl'LICANS ARE APATHETIC i Speelnl to THE TIMES. EAST AURORA, Nov. 1.

Democrats are pleasjsd at the outlook here. All of the old-tjme Democrats are back with the party! this year and there is a large sprinkling of Republicans who will vote the ticket, from Coler down. These converts are men who appreciate the conditions which the trusts are bringing about in the States the increase in the price of commodities and the absolute despotism and grip on affairs which the capitalists are gradually assuming. Realizing that there is no hope from the) Republican party pudged from its past record, they are arraying them! selves ori the side of Democracy. The Democrats have been active all through I the campaign and are thoroughly alive to every chance.

Much hard work has been done and there is much more to do between now and the close of the polls election day. On the other hand the Republicans seem apathetic. They lack enthusiasm, and some of the leaders have been heard to" remark that the chances look pretty slim, especially on the county ticket. On the quiet Coatsworth's election has been adihitted as probable. They liave been so apathetic that not a Republican meeting has been held in town this fall.

In other years there has always, been a jollification of some sort, but. even that prince of jolliers. Col. D. S.

Alexander, has not been out to speak to his constituents at Wlllink this vear. which is almost a great a wonder las though the end of the world had corrie. NO POLITICAL MEETINGS Kt Demonstration. Held in Wyoming; Cossty This Tear. Snecial to THE TIMES.

WARSAW, Nov. The County cf Wyoming is about the only county iu the State in which no political demon stration has been held during the present canjipalgn. Neither party has made a sign, preferring to work along silent lines for the purpose of success. The two leading parties in Wyoming County! are pretty well agreed a to one thine, and that is, come what may. the Republicans can poll under any contingency a plurality of.

at least 1,500, and their opponents are content to let the matter rest. There is less money spent in Wyoming County for political purposes than any other, the class of voters being of that character that vote.for a principle rather than for what there is in it.

A PROPOSITION MADE 7'ELITIER AKD LAWSOX HAVE BOTH BKJBS IJTTO THE ARCTIC 3IAT AGAIX. GO Special to THE TIMES. NORTH TONAWANDA, Nov.

1. Buffalo hag among her residents an arctic traveler who may yet be the first to reach the North Pole. He Is Le Roy Peletier, a man who has spent the greater part of his life in Alaska and within the Arctic circle. Peletier has recently received a proposition from Millionaire Zeigler of New York who backed the two lost expedi- tions of Explorer Baldwin. Mr.

Peletier has the proposition under consideration and it is understood will accept If he can persuade Oliver Lawson of North Tonawanda, another Western New Yorker who has spent much of his life in the Arctic countries, to accompany him to the Arctic regions. Mr. Peletier recently returned from New York where he was the guest of Zeigler. The latter was so convinced that Mr. Peletier has the only plan that will reach the pole that he Im mediately made the Buffalonian an offer to fit oui an expedition.

Where Peary, Baldwin and other explorers have found It difficult to travel more than an average of 12 miles per day on their dashes for the pole Messrs. Peletier and Lawson have made over a hundred miles a day and have traveled a thousand miles at a single stretch with conditions more difficult than those experienced by Peary on his recent unsuccessful attempt. Their plan is to go North next spring, locating a supply station as far North' as possible, before the ice freezes up too tightly and then when the Arctic winter sets in to form a dog train and with no more than two companions, making a party of four, make a dash for the Pole. Peletier and Lawson are confident that they can easily cover the 1,000 miles which intervenes between the northermost point usually reached by explorers and the Pole and return in a month or two months at the most. Peletier and Lawson say that the greatest mistake of explorers is that they make the last stages of their journey after the ice has broken up In the spring and starts South.

SAFETY GATES AND FLAGMEN DANGEROIS RAILWAY CROSSINGS ARE TO BE MADE SECURE AGAINST ACCIDENT. Special to THE TIMES. NORTH TONAWANDA, Nov. 1. After long and presietent effort on the part of the city officials, the New York Central is to furnish safeguards for its crossings which have become known as death traps because of the numerous accidents which occur as the result of lack of protection to wayfarers.

Superintendent Bradfleld met a committee from the Board of Aldermen yesterday and the party made a tour of the Central lines on the Observation engine Niagara. As a result flagmen will guard some of the crossings and gates will be erected at others. The Thompson Street crossing where there ar eleven tracks, six. of which are mafft lines over which 150 trains pass daily. will have two flagmen in the day time and one at night.

Gates were deemed inadvisable at this point. A flagman will also be placed at the Main Street crossing which It so- wide that gates are not built large enough to span the crossing. The Oliver Street crossing, which is the most dangerous, will have gates. Three others on the Lockport branch, one out at Van- derveort, Oliver and the Nash Road will be guarded fcy gates. The Erie will next be compelled to take the same action in regard to Its half dozen crossings in North Tona- vanaa.

ALL WILL BE USED ALIKE 0 LONG-TIME FRANCHISES WILL BE GRANTED TO TROLLEY LINES. Special to THE TIMES. MEDINA, Nov. 1. An 'adjustment of the difficulties between the trolley com panies which desire franchises in this village has not been reached and prob ably when next Friday arrives, the time set for a final disposition of the matter, there will be a warm time.

Each- of the three companies is desirous of obtain ing its franchise first; because they will all pass over three or four of the same streets, and they all wish to be on the ground first, and get control of affairs. The village board It loth to allow any one company preference over the other two. and, at present, intends granting a blanket franchise to the three at th same time, covering, as near as may be, the same features. It is generally understood that the minor details have been discussed and tentatively arranged. There is one" ooint which has not been decided and me which will- engender more ill feel ing than all the rest If it isn't satisfactorily arranged, and that is in relation: to the term in which the grant will be In force.

In the franchise submitted by the first company, a grant of 99 years was named but this was set aside as too long. Many citizens are bitterly opposed to granting such rights for longer than 25 years, while several are of the opinion that 15 or 20 years is as long as the village should bind itself.

The speech of the Hon. Martin W.
