THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES FROM OHIO.
D URING the first half century of her existence, the new state furnished but one President of the United States, but he a man typical of the "Ohio spirit" and a popular leader of civilizing influences throughout the new Northwest. In the latter half of the century or since the close of the civil war, every successful candidate for the Presidency upon the Republican ticket; in fact, every man save one, who has been elected to the Presidency from 1864 to 1901 ; every President since Lincoln, excepting only Grover Cleveland of New York, has been a resident or a former resident of Ohio. Two of the number died in office : Wiliam Henry Harrison and James A. Garfield. Every one of the illustrious group had won their spurs on the field of battle for the Union, and had sharpened their lances in the halls of the Con- gress of the United States and were men of wide statesmanship and national reputation prior to their elevation to the highest office in the gift of the American people.
The country has signally honored Ohio in selecting her sons to guide the destinies of the Great Republic; Ohio has given of her best and truest whenever and wherever possible to give. The name of him who now sits President of this Republic from Ohio, is not the least among the number of men thus elevated in public duty, conspicuous figures before the world. (See note.)

SENATORS OF THE UNITED STATES FROM OHIO. 1
T HE representation from Ohio in the Senate of the United States began with the election by the General Assembly, in joint ses- sion in the hall of the House of Representatives, Chillicothe, on the first day of April, 1803, of two senators from Ohio in the persons of John Smith of Hamilton County, and Thomas Worthing- ton of Ross County. The term of Senator Worthington expired on the 4th of March, 1807, and to succeed him, the General Assembly in the January preceding, elected Governor Edward Tiffin. By a resolution of December 20, 1806, the Assembly requested Senator John Smith to "either resign his seat in the Senate of the United States, or to proceed at once to his post." The resignation followed in 1808, and Judge Return J. Meigs, Jr., of the Supreme Court, was elected to succeed him and was also re-elected to succeed himself, in a joint session of the two houses of the Assembly held on the 12th day of December, 1808. Senator Smith had served with distinction as a member of the territorial legis- lature, and is highly spoken of by the venerable Judge Burnett in his Notes on the Northwest Territory. His resignation was brought about by his supposed sympathy with the conspiracy of Aaran Burr.
Thomas Worthington was returned to the senate by the General Assembly in 1810 to succeed Senator Meigs, who had resigned to accept the office of the Governor of the State.
With this beginning of her representation in the councils of "the highest legislative body known in history," Ohio has since been repre- sented in that body by men who have stood for the best and broadest type of aggressive Americanism. The membership in the Senate of the United States from Ohio has been as follows:

REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS FROM OHIO.
T HE representation from Ohio in the Congress is regulated as to localities by the action of the General Assembly, in apportion- ing the State into congressional districts from time to time on the ratio of population fixed by the Congress for that purpose. From 1803 to 1812 Ohio had but one congressional district and but one rep- resentative in the person of Jeremiah Morrow, afterward Governor of the State, and U. S. Senator. From 1813 to 1823 the State was divided into six congressional districts; from 1823 to 1833 there were 14 dis- tricts ; from 1833 to 1843 there were 19 districts; from 1843 to 1903 the present number, 21. In the following tables which give the mem- bership in the National House of Representatives from Ohio during the first hundred years of statehood, it will be noticed that in the several rearrangements of the districts which have occurred by legislative au- thority the numerical numbers have been held in succession by widely separated sections of the State, and that members of Congress who are well-known residents in one locality seem to have represented territory outside their supposed residence district. These apparent discrepancies are caused by the legislative rearrangement and renumbering of the several districts from time to time. With this borne in mind, the follow- ing tables will be found a convenient record of "the gentlemen from Ohio" who have played no insignificant part in the history of these United States, and many of whom are celebrated figures in general history.
