COLUMBUS, O., Feb l9-The Democratic
members of the legislature have at last
united upon congressional redistricting
scheme. 1t gives the Democrats fifteen dis
tricts, the estimates being basel on the vote
OF 1884, 1886 and 1855 The Cleveland Demo-
cratic district takes in ali the CITY except the
EIghteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth Twenty
tirst and Twenty seventh wards and is
claimed to have 1 100 Democratic majority.
The house of representatives last evening,
by strict party vote of 81 to 81, unseated
How William A Blair, Republican. OF
Adams county, and gave the place 20 Hon
H. w. Peterson, Democrat
The Ripper" Bills Raise . Row.
There were exciting and disgraceful scenes
In the house of representatives last evening
when the Democrats attempted to pass some
OF the ripper bills, as they are called. The
Republicans attempted dilatory tactics, and
Speaker Hysell at length refused to recog-
nize the Republican members They became
furious, and both Democrats and Repub-
leans were soon on their feet and many
ABOUT the speakers desk shaking their fists
At him When the speaker ordered them to
their seats, and threatened to call the SER
geant-at-arms to compel them to do so, sew
eral Republicans dared him to do it
One Statesman Fighting Mad.
Representative Troyer shouted out that he
could lick any two Republicans" and for a
time il seemed as if the session would break
up in disorder. The bill passed. The mem
bers Quoted down-somewhat Representa-
tive Mounott went over to the Republican
side of the house Immediately after to ex-
plain some of his remarks to Representative
Hudson, when the latter shouted to him to
get off the Rcpu blican side of the house or
he would throw him out The greatest dis
order prevailed until adjournment, and it is
expected 10 b. renewed when other "ripper
bills come up
The Feeling at Washington City.
A despatch from Washington City saws
the redistricting bill has stirred up much
feeling on the Republican side of the house,
and will undoubtedly serve to stimulate the
advocates of the Wickham anti-gerry-
Wandering bill to push it through at an early
date. Naturally the retirement of Major
Mckinley, the chairman of the ways and
means committee and the leader Of the ma
Jority on the floor, excites much comment
The major owns farm in Coiumbiana
county, which is also the residence of Repre-
sentative j. d. Taylor, who has announced
that he intends to run IN that district, which
Is still Republican.
Mckinley tor Governor and
II Maj. b nley should change his residence
to Columhiana county and decide 10 become
candidate in the new district Taylor could
not help 1t, and would not sacrifice himself
for Mckinley. In the event Of McKinIey's
failure to secure a seat in the next congress,
II is the impression that the Republicans of
Ohio will make him their standard-bearsr in
the gubernatorial fight of 1891, and if sue
cessful the friends Of the little Napoleon
believe II would assure him the presidential
nomination IN 1892
