The comblaation furmed at the vutset for the ' purpose of fevylng upon the people's money was extensive and brilliant Integrals, The most active .man n reproaching legislators on the poverty of the old Capitol Bulding was Don Morrison. Don A alivays been the King of the lobby, and, In the days of special leginlation, of odorons memory, e formed the new State-loneo Ring. To glve it . nauclal character, Jake Bunw, the miltlonalre, was made President of the Ring, that it might have standing lo tho roral districts. Tlambleton and Vandoveer wera made Dircetora; and for legal acn- men, Jim Roblnson, of Efingham County, was made Boliitor-General, Jack Bmith, aftarwards « Killed at Lemont, Phil Wadsworth, and old Jim Beverldge were taken In by Murrison ma the slick ones. TIIS WAS TITE ORIGINAL NEW STATE-TIOUSE RING toam, which Don Marrison drove tandem for sovare alyears. Morrison had an architect-feiend n St. Loulsby tho name of Barnett, Strong efforts were made to romove Cochrane from the position of 8u- pervising Architeet, but he ** putap " too lberal- 1y, and held on. Flnding that they could not get "Barnctt In, Don Morelson and Barnett prevatied upan the Commissloners to take his dranghtsman andmako him Acting Supervising Architect of the new State-1Touse. This draughtsman was Alfred IL Plquenard. Francls A, Drow iaa son-In-law of Barnett's. Now this was the Ring, every one of whom has fattencd off of the State-House sppro- priatlons. ¢ All this winter the storma have boat In through tho skeleton dome. The Commissioners awesr they have §7,000 to thelr credit; $2,000 wonld In- close the dnmn.det theso Commissloners hang on to that little, pitiful balance, so thelr salaries will be sccure, Wheu the Benate Committeo made ita report Inst week, and public feeling ran high sgalnst these shameless men, Senator Shutt hur- ried up and down the Senate chamber porsonully a-mrlng Senators that If thoy would letthe report Ua on tho table, and not remave tho Conymission- ers, he would pledgo bis honor that the Commis- rloners should resim. it repurt romoving the Commissloncrs has been tabled, and yet Jake Dann and Jim Beverldgo bang ou In the face of the con- tempt of cvery one. iere follows MOUB DAMNING TRSTIMONT, taken befors the Senats Committee on Pabilc TButidings in 18UD—testimony which heretofore has had buta very limifed clrculation among the puople. 1In astatemont under vath to that Come mittee, aftor n careful examination of the tuilde 1ng, tho vencrablearchitect and citlzen of Chicago, John M.
