ANTI-CANAL CAMPAIGN.
Sentiment Against the Project Increasing
in Oneida County.

UTICA, Oct 5-The formal launching
of the anti-barge canal campaign In Oneida
county, which was acco mDlished In this
city on Saturday. promises materially to
increase the ma ority in this county against
tho proposition on election day. Material
for sound argument against the proposed
extravagant expenditure appears on every
hand and as the time approaches for the
voters hereabouts to express at the polls
their views 1t becomes evident that not
alone In the outlying districts, but in the
city as we'll, sentiment against the project
Ia unmistakably increasing.
The canalizing Of the Mohawk River and
the abandonment Of the present Erie canal
from Rexford Flats to a point west OF Utica,
Ga contemplated in the plans Of the barge
canal project, would work incalculable
injury to the private interests Of citizens
and taxpayers who own property along the
thereon buildings for canal business pur-
poses. This is especially true In the city
Of Utica.
Furthermore. the Mohawk River is the
natural drainage for the surplus water
Of the whole valley Of the Mohawk. and for
miles north and south on each side numer-
GUS creeks and rivers not far apart pour

thence to the sea- Besides being drain
age for the water the Mohawk River Is
a sluiceway for all the filth. Of tn. sewers
Of all the villages and cities along its banks.
Therefore, II the natural channel Of the
river Is contracted by making canal OF
it the result would be the overlooking
OF the valley by floods and the disseInina-
ton of disease caused by the filth of the
sewers not being carried away by the river.
as now. This surplus water and filth OF
sewers cannot be disposed OF by the river
canal, as It would require moro Of a current
than It would be advisable to permit within
the confining walls Of a canal
The voters Of the Mohawk Valley are
carefully considering these matters, which
cannot but influence them against the barge
ditch project.

KINGS DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Nominations Last Night for Asscnblymen
and Aldermen.

The Democratic Assembly and Alder
manic conventions were held last night
and as both conventions In each district
were held in succession in the same hall,
the gatherings were largely attended.
At most OF the conventions a resolution
indorsing Mcclellan was adopted. no refer
ence being made to his associates on the
city ticket.
Senator McCarren was present at the
convention in the Fourteenth Assembly
district and advocated unity Of action on
the part of all Democrats against the fusion
combination. He said that II the Demo-
Gratis OF Kings county stood together
throughout the campaign and on election
day, surprising vote for Mcclellan would
be rolled up. While himself evidently In
favor Of supporting the whole city ticket.
Senator McCarren did not press the tndorse-
ment of Grout and Fornes.
A few of the conventions adjourned over
for few days, after making the nominal
tions, in expectation that probably in the
meantime peaceful relations bet ween Tam
many and the Kings county Democracy
might be restored.
These are the nominations.

Ohio Farmers Fighting Snakes ir
 Organized Bands.

Gainesville. Ohio.--It is the season for snake stories. and every farmer is telling of thrilling encounters with copperheads. A scope of territory southwest of Barnes vile, known as the Leatherwood valley. Oppenshaw ridge, Gobbler's knob. Dog hollow. Harmony, and other well known settlements. is the veritable home and propagating grounds of the venomous copperhead. It has been their home for years, and. notwithstanding they are de- stroyed by thousands every season. the tribe continues to flourish. This season the snakes are vastly more numerous than ever
 Much of the country where the snakes abound consists of stony hillsides. which have been denuded of their virgin growth of timber, and either have been allowed to grow up in briars and bushes or now and then yield a crop of tobacco to the patient and toiling husbandman. A tobacco plant of sufficient growth is a favorite place for a copperhead to coil aRd strike the hand of the farmer who M cultivating his crop. pulling the worms from the plant or stripping the leaves. Instances are numerous every season of farmers being bitten while taking their tobacco but in most instances they have antidotes and no deaths are recorded Copious draughts of whisky generally bring the victim out all right. and not few pin their faith to a prompt appli- cation of turpentine to the wound.
