WIS not willing to indorse- The people expect

THE M'cREA TESTIMONY.
Senator Ford said he desired to call 10 til.
resolution be previously offered, to stop tht
printing of the McCrca testimony, The Public
Printer WAS behind in his work. Moreover, il
would cost $500 to print this, and he saw no use
in printing it nov, or putting the State to this
expense. .-.>
Senator Riddle merely wished to say that the
Senator from Henry had taken this unusual in
terest in the printing Of this testimony. He
could not. understand why Senator far re.
moved from Cook County exhibited so much
anxiety about this as even to go and find!out
how much it would cost. He believed much
useful and quite interesting information to the
public in regard to the printing Of the delin-
quent-tax lists could be had from this evidence,
both as to its expense and the methods OF carry
Ing it on. # the matter of expense was what
worried the Senator from Henry, lie would eou-
tribute the sum from bis own pocket.
Senator Ford disayowed having any feeling
on the subject he was member Of the Com
mittee that heard the case, and the Committee
had reported unanimously on the matter. He
would submit that no GOOD would come to the
n1n1ic or to the paT1ies interested Iv nr;ntino
