Columbus, Feb. 10.--A local admins
tration organ gives voice to the senti-
ment which opposers of the Clark local
option bill are still endeavoring to crys-
tallize against the measure. THE organ
says this morning:
"a careful poll of the representatives
who declared themselves in favor of
the passage of the Clark bill was be-
gun last evening. If enough of them
can be found who can be induced to
change their votes, one of their fellows
who voted yea on Monday will move a
| reconsideration of the vote. If such
action is taken, an attempt to defeat the
bill will yet be made. The task of MAX
ing the motion to reconsider will fall
either to Mr.. Painter, of Wood. Mr..
Metzgar, of Stark, or Mr.. Buell., of Co
lumbiana, all of whom voted for the
passage of the bill on Wednesday.
These three men are ready to oppose
the bill which has already been made
half law. and it is believed that there
are many others who can be made to
repudiate their action of two days ago."
The movement referred to did not
materialize today. The people sup
posed to be back of the move seem to
have reckoned without their host. And
to say that there were several people,
who had voted for the Clark bill, who
were bot under the collar when the
Journal article was read, is putting it
mildly. l saw the three gentlemen re-
ferred to above as being ready to op-
pose the bill which they had supported
Wednesday, and each of them denied
most emphatically either as to being a
party to any such scheme as that refer
red to, or having any sympathy with
it. They all declared that their senti-
ments were unchanged with reference
to the local option bill. and intimated
that nothing would be farther from
their minds than to change their votes
were the matter brought to issue again.
Both Mr.. MetZgar and Mr.. Buell. in
very emphatic terms denounced the
story as being a lie out of the whole
cloth.
The Clark bill had it's first reading
in the senate after being held up by
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell for "a
hours.
Mr.. snvder's bill for the taxing of
night soilers of Canton was introduced
today.
Mr.. Pollock's bill intended to recoup
the bridge fund of Stark county, re-
ceived its first reading today
The Incorporation of the Morgan En-
gineering works, of Alliance, mention
of which was made in the News Demo-
crat Friday, with a capital stock of
SO, 100000, rates it as one of the big con-
Germs of Eastern Ohio. Examination
of the state records in the office Of the
secretary of state fails to show that the
company had been previously incor-
porated. One half of the stock is to be
preferred, one-half common. The COR
poration fee collected by the state was
$4,000.
The Canton Incandescent Light COM
pany the Incorporation today of which
has also been mentioned) is formed for
the purpose Of selling gas and gaso-
line lamp fixtures and parts thereof,

novelties, and doing all things incident
