Allan S. Pirnie, a Republican, had been a candidate for the nomination of county clerk in the Republican convention, but was defeated by Mr. Scothon. He afterward accepted the nomination on the Democratic ticket for the same office. Jacob H. Bohrer was nominated for county treasurer by the Demo- crats, and Dr. H. J. Haberer for coroner. For members of assembly, first district, John W. Manley; second district, Charles J. Amrhein; third district, John F. Clark. Two other county tickets were in the field, the Socialist and Independence league. The Socialists nominated for county clerk, Edward Stansfield; for county treasurer, Frank VanAlstyne; for coroner, Herman Jacob; for members of assembly, first district, Henry J. Grant; second dis- trict, Max Jahn; third district, B. F. Ouderkirk. The ticket nominated by the Independence league was made up partially from the Republican ticket and partially from the Democratic ticket, as follows: for county clerk, Charles A. G. Scothon; county treasurer, James T. Somers; both Republicans; for coroner, Dr. H. J. Haberer, a Democrat. This party made no nominations for members of assembly.
The campaign was carried on enthusiastically by the Republicans, par- ticularly in the city of Utica, as the ticket which had been nominated was a popular one, and a sufficient amount of attention was given to the county ticket to get out a comparatively full vote for an off year. The result in the county was the election of the entire Republican county ticket, by the fol- lowing majorities: For county clerk, Charles A. G. Scothon, Rep., received a plurality of 2,105; for county treasurer, James T. Somers, Rep., received a plurality of 3,105; for coroner, Price Lewis, Rep., 2,036 plurality; for members

of assembly, first district, Ralph Entwistle, Rep., 131 plurality; second dis- trict, Herbert E. Allen, Rep., 1,645 plurality; third district, James T. Cross, Rep., 1,078 plurality. In regard to the election of justice of the Supreme Court for the fifth judicial district, Oneida county gave Edgar C. Emerson, the Republican candidate, who resides in Watertown, a majority of 1,771 over Henry Purcell, the Democratic candidate, who also resides in Watertown; and Henry Purcell received a plurality of 522 over Irving G. Hubbs, Repub- lican, who resides in Pulaski; but in the judicial district Mr. Emerson and Mr. Hubbs were elected by substantial majorities.
CHAPTER XIX
PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND STATISTICS
Oneida county from its organization has been one of the most important in the Empire state. National and state offices have been filled by her sons with marked ability and distinguished honor, from constable to the high po- sition of president of the United States, and from justice of the peace to governor of the commonwealth. Despite the probability of criticism for oc- cupying so much space with a list of names, but presuming that many will desire at times to examine it, the following list is given of men who have been residents of Oneida county, and who have filled important offices under the federal and state government and also within the county. The offices which pertain especially to the courts of the county are given in another chapter under the heading, "Courts, Bench and Bar."

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
The United States constitution directs that a census of the inhabitants be taken every tenth year, commencing with 1790, and after each enumeration Congress apportions the representatives pro rata among the several states. As soon thereafter as practicable the legislature divides the state into con- gressional districts. The ratio of apportionment and number of representa- tives for the state of New York since the adoption of the constitution in 1788, have been as follows:

LEGISLATIVE
SENATE
Under the first constitution the senate consisted of 24 members, appor- tioned among four great districts. After the first election they were divided by lot into four classes, so that the terms of six should expire each year. An additional senator was to be added to each district whenever, by a septennial census, it was shown that the number of electors in the district had increased one-twenty-fourth. This increase was to be allowed until the number reached 100. The census of 1795 made the number 43. In 1801, the rule being found unequal in its operation, the constitution was amended so as to fix the num- ber permanently at 32, where it remained until 1894.
Under the first constitution the state was divided ino four great senatorial districts, entitled Southern, Middle, Eastern and Western Districts. The num- ber of senators from each district varied according to the acts of assembly passed at different times.
172
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
Under the second constitution (1821) the state was divided into eight great senatorial districts, each of which was entitled to four senators.
Under the constitution of 1846 the state was divided into thirty-two sen- atorial districts, and this arrangement continued to 1894, the districts being re- arranged after each state census according to the population. The term of service under the new constitution was reduced to two years.
Senatorial Districts Oneida county was a part of the Western district, under the first constitution. Under the second constitution it formed a part of the Fifth district. Under the constitution of 1846 it formed the Nineteenth district. In 1892, Oneida, Lewis and Otsego counties formed the 23d district, but by the constitution of 1894 Oneida county was again made a district by itself, the 34th, and the number of senators in the state increased from 32 to 50.

ASSEMBLY-1798 TO 1847
The assembly has always been chosen annually. It consisted at first of 70 members, with the power to increase one with every seventieth increase of the numbers of electors until it contained 300 members. When the constitu- tion was amended in 1801 the number had reached 108, when it was reduced to 100, with a provision that it should be increased after each census at the rate of two annually, until the number reached 150. This increase was 12 in 1808 and 14 in 1815. The constitution of 1821 fixed the number permanently at 128. Members were elected on a single ticket, which has been since con- tinued.
No change can be made in the representation of counties between the period fixed by the constitution for the apportionment based upon the census taken in years ending in 5. Counties erected from parts of other counties, or em- bracing parts of different election districts, between these periods cannot have a separate representation until the next apportionment. The Legislature ap- portions to each county its relative number of members, and the boards of su- pervisors divide the towns and wards into assembly districts.
The constitution of 1846 required the boards of supervisors of the several counties to meet on the first Tuesday of January succeeding the adoption of the constitution, and divide the counties into districts of the number appor- tioned to them, of convenient and contiguous territory, and as nearly equal population as possible. After each state census the legislature is required to re-apportion the members and to direct the time when the supervisors shall meet for the purpose of redistricting. The constitution of 1894 increased the number of assemblymen of the state to 150, and the apportionment of a county entitled to more than one member of assembly was left with the board of su- pervisors, and under this apportionment Oneida county was entitled to three members.
