The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-05-02

~ pie of Ohio as a result of the
agreement on a resolution for adjourn
ment, offered recently. The senate has
concurred in the resolution that the
legislature adjourn May IL. That will
be one week from Monday. About a
thousand bills will die a peaceful death,
without having ever been considered
when the legislature adjourns.

The Columbiana county delegation
is ready to adjourn now. Representa-
tive Buell. said Wednesday, that every
bill either he or Mr. Crist had intro
duced had been disposed of and that
there was nothing unfinished that they
had set out to accomplish. Not all
of the other counties have representa-
tives with so clean a record. The
Stark county representatives are sit
uated about as well, on all strictly
local matters. The New Baltimore
bill is a notable exception. Whether
John Taylor will get his vindication
before adjournment is problematical.
Senator Wilhelm has a habit OF vot-
ing with the Democrats quite occa-
sionally, when something is up that
does not look just right to him. There
was a bill up to tax some of the big
corporations holding public grants, as
some of the smaller ones had been
taxed, as we'll as all the strictly legit-
innate industries of the state. Will
helm voted with the Democrats for
the Decker bill, that would have made
some of the big concerns operating
under city franchises, squirm. 1t was
a tie vote and Lieutenant Governor
Nippert cast the deciding vote against
the bill.
Representative Pollock will captain
the base ball team of the house CT rep'
resentatives that will go to Xenia, Sat
urday. The Columbus Press says of
this team:
Representative Pollock, of Stark
county, is having difficulty in selecting
his base ball team for Xenia next Sat
urday. 1t is his purpose to pick a
team from the members of the house
of representatives and there is so much
talent available that he does not know
now to proceed to weigh their useful
ness by their past records. Many OF
them were formerly good players, but
about decided to take a team to play
the game and another to go in as sub
stitute when that team fails to de-
liver the goods.
1t is thought Representative Painter,
of Wood, will e chosen to take place
on the team. Mr.. Painter is a man of
resources and has drawing powers that
has gained for him the soubriquet

mamcnt" His presence on the team
would insure a good attendance.
The Hon. Ralph d. Cole, of Seneca
is being considered for pace. Ow-
ing TO his penchant Tor producing wind
he will be employed to blow up the
umpires and initiate the chest pro-
teCtor.
Mr. Ainsworth, the gentleman from
Defiance county, will take place on
the foul line, as he is considered o
great Judge of foul plays, and has
agility for getting on both sides of the
line that recommends him for the po-
sitiOn.
The sage of Wyandot, the Honorable
Bill Gear, will survey the field and
take measurements of the curves oi
the opposing pitchers.
Representative Stage has been select
ed to run the bases for the whole
team, because of the fact that nobody
can throw him out. His Ajax-like at.
titnde in the house recently, made II
necessary to look no further for a mar
for this position. Besides, he is fee
of foot and gives exhibitions of sprint.

belligerently approached by sergeant
at-arms.
Price, of Athens, will catch, and it Il
thought none OF the Republicans or
the other side will be able to stea
bases on him. Price recently went or
record as being opposed to steals which
makes him the only available candi,
date on the Republican side for hi:
job.
Mr.. Buell., of Columbiana. has beer
selected for the coaching lines, owing
to his splendid work on the steering
committee.
Dunlap, of Cuyahoga, will play ir
the outfield. His rival for left field
honors is Guerin, of Sandusky. But
Mr.. Guerin Is a sour citizen, while the
girls say Mr.. Dunlap is just too sweet
for anything. Hence Mr.. Dunlap viii
