From STAFF Correspondent.
Columbus, Sept. 22.-Chairman w.
c. Gear Of the speakers bureau at
Democratic headquarters, states that
William Jennings Bryan and some other
strong man will address a big meeting
at Youngstown on the afternoon of
October Is. On the 18th Bryan will fill
two engagements-one in the afternoon
at Mansfield and the other in the even
ing at Akron. General Sherwood will
speak at GAINESVILLE on September 20
and at Lancaster, October /.
The Stark county Democrats have
asked for Congressman John J. Lentz,
of Columbus, for Canton date, BUT
Chairman Gear says the bureau has not
taken up the matter yet Stark will
not be neglected, though, he said.
Ex-Governor Altgeld and Tom john
son will speak at Steubenville on Oct.
Judge Allen Smalley, candidate for
judge of the supreme court, will ad-
dress a meeting at Cleveland.
STARK CoUNTY's WANTS.
The Stark county Republican organi-
zation is modest in it's demands for
speakers. The committee has asked for
such celebrities as Foraker, Henderson,
Littlefleld, Dolliver, Hepburn, Beveridge
and others. Most of these speakers are
unavailable and so far no assignments
for spellbinders for Canton and other
cities In Stark county have been made
by the Republican bureau.
Columbiana county has not made any
requests for either Democratic or Re-
publican speakers yet, at least there is
no record of requests on the books at
either bureau. Jefferson county wants
Republican speakers Of national repu-
tation for three meetings to be held be-
tween October 20 and November 1.
Nearly every county in the state has
asked for Foraker and Hanna, but the
itinerary of the senior senator has
been left to himself. Hanna will do
little IL any talking in Ohio.
Governor Nash will do considerable
stumping. State Labor Commissioner
M. d. Ratchford will make several
campaign speeches in the Springfield
district In Illinois early in October.
DISTRICT WILL REMAIN.
When the next apportionment Of the
senatorial districts of the state is made,
In the judgment Of Secreary Of State
Charles Kinney, no change will be made
in the Twenty-second joint district,
which is composed Of Harrison, Bei-
mont, Jefferson and Columbiana coun-
ties. 1t has been generally supposed
that the joint district would be dis
united and that there would be two
senators to elect instead of one as is the
case at present, but Mr.. Kinney thinks
the increase in the population in the
past decade is not sufficient to entitle
the district division and two representa-
tives in the premier house of the legisla-
ture. The present joint district was
separated in 1880 and was reunited ten
years later The result of the present
census will determine whether or not
the district will be divided or remain
intact. The census figures will prob
ably be given out officially next JAM
uary and In the following April the
senatorial apportionment will be made
by the secretary of state and other
election officials. The statutes say the
apportionment must be made six
months prior to the election.
STARK COUNTY'S INFIRMARY.
Joseph Byers, secretary of the state
board of charities, has received no word
from the Stark county commissioners
as 20 what they propose to de regard
ing his recommendations for changes
in the plans for the new infrmary
building. Commissioner Crawford was
in Columbus the other day but he did
not call on Mr.. Byers.
Governor Nash has wired Zion
headquarters at Chicago that he win
not order out the militia for duty Mt
Mansfield until requested to do so by the
authorities Of that place.
