tee UttilEc n Government BUILDING.
Tho Democratic committee was itedyesterday
by an inqulring limb Of THE NATIONAL REPuBI-
CAN at the Capitol. It is located in the room OF
the House Committee on Public Expenditures (of
which Hon. Samuel J. Randall Is the chairman),
In the west front OF the central portion OF the
building, on the basement floor The amount Of
energy exerted, documents displayed, and work
done is simply immense; 1t cannot be described
WI WIN L lead pencil or in words The huge force
OF one good-ooktng Kentucky Congressman ana
three other fellows were located In comforable
easy chairs. The Congressman had little desk
to himself
BUT WAS NOT ASLEEP
Two Of the others had their feet up holding the
committee table down, while the remaining Dem.
Cong, Com. attache was writing a nice note TO his
girl. The scribe didn't get much Information IN
that room, especially amer his high calling and
location were detected, except that the Kentucky
statesman has been renominated for Congress,
and expects to be elected by Mt least 800 majority.
Diigent inquiry in other sources developed the
fact that the whole gigantic force has turned Its
giant mind TO the work of whooping Now York
State, county and city, chuck full of documents
IN the interest Of the fowety Flower, who wants
so bad to be governor of that State. The immense
ing the able voting population of the Empire state
with lamp and pipe lighters, fire kindlng, and
waste paper, consists Of the following
AsPIRASTs TO FAME AND POSITION,

=. Flower, of New York, and an unknown young
man who probably does oil the actual work, ex-
cept the bossing. This huge force Is not even
aided by the presence of General Walker, but 1t
has sent bushels Of the speech Of Hon. Abram
speech of General William S. Rosecrans, and tons
of the eloquent little speeches of the howery and
ambitious Flower. The force has been at work
about three weeks, and very large quantities Of
the documents mentioned have been forwarded.
THE SPEECH OF MR.. FuLKERsoN
was delivered ut Arlington, Va, nnd is printed as
q supplement" to something that is one-third
ments, aud rs these cannot be legally frnnked
they are sent by express to New York. The other
great efforts of the statesmen named having been
inflicted upon the House of Representatives are
"eItracts from the Congressional Record" and are
sent through the mail under the franks of Ran
legged that Ike activity prevailed IN Senator
PendletOn's committee room, at the other end OF
the Capitol. This is the Select Committee OH the
Occupation of Seats on the Floor of the Senate and
House of Representatives by Cabinet Officers, and
the name Is SO long that no attempt has been
made to paint 1t on the door of the room, as it
would
REACH HALE WAY DOWN THE HALL.
The room was entered by THE REPUBLICANS
emissary. 1t contained a carpet, a committee
table, considerable other furniture, lots of spit
toons. and very nice-looking young man who
who bore unmistakable evidence of being an exile
from Ohio No documents. cigars, iced tea, or
anything else incidental to Democratic campaign
work. were in sight, aud So satisfied that no crime
was being committed there, the scribe stealthily
lit out Of The room, lit cigarette lit onto an ave:
has now lit up the doings of the Dem. Cong. Camp.
