Columbus, Nov. 20.-The new federal
census shows that Stark county Will
have the same number of representa-
tves in the lower house of the state
legislature in the next decennial period
as she had in the last ten years. The
county will have IL representatives
two in the first four sessions and three
in the fifth, The increase In the popu-
lation was not nearly enough to entitle
the county to additional representation.
The ratio for representative is obtain
ed by dividing the population of the
state, which is 4,157,545, by the multiple
100, and the quotent is the ratio. Thus,
1t viii be seen the ratio is fixed at 41,575
for the coming decennial period.
When county shall have fraction
above the ratio. 50 large, that being
multiplied by five, the result shall be
equal to one or more ratios, additional
representatives shall be apportioned.
Stark has more than enough for two
representatives and the fraction above
the required number gives her the ex-
ira member in the closing session. Both
Mahoning and Columbiana get two in
the first three sessions and one in the
last two. This was Columbiana's ap-
portionment in the past decade. The
Twenty-second joint senatorial district
composed of Columbiana, Jefferson,
Belmont and Harrison counties, will
not be separated, as had been expected,
rs the gain in the population was not
sufficient to make two districts. The
ratio for senator is 1887. which Is
secured by dividing the states popula-
tion by 35 The Joint district will be
allowed one or two extra senators to-
ward the close of the period.
Columbiana county again carries off
the honors in the vote cast for Woolley,
the Prohibition presidential candidate.
The county gave Woolley 52S votes,
which Is 200 more than he received in
any other county in Ohio. Columbiana
also cast the highest number of Prohi-
bltion votes last year. giving George NJ.
Hammell, the gubernator!al candidate
of that party. 1886.
Governor Nash has issued a state
ment from the report of the funds in
the state treasury for the fiscal year
ending November 15, showing that the
actual expenses of the state for the
year were about s4.5O0000. The report
on the face indicates that the expenses
of the year were larger than usual but
the governor figures that deficiencies
and refunders from the federal govern
ment were received and paid out of
the general revenue fund when they
should have gone into the sinking fund.
BY deducting the amounts paid in this
way, according to Governor Nashs way
of reckoning, the expenses for the year
were less than those of the preceding II
months. The total amount in the state
treasury at the end of the fiscal year
was $9,170, l94.12, of which 81 1887, ,066. OF
was cash, the balance being in notes
and securities, deposited by banks, in
surance, savings. trust, bond and de-
benture companies.
State Treasurer I. b. Cameron's new
vault arrived and Is now being placed
in position. 1t is of ponderous size and
weighs 20 tons. The present safe will
be placed within the new vault which
will give additional security and accom-
mediation.
The Union Manufacturing company.
of Lisbon. has been incorporated with
a capital of $500, to manufacture social
session suckers, which are defined as
being articles for use in drinking fluids
from glasses, tumblers. mugs and other
vessels. The company was incorporat-
ed by Harry V. George and others.
