S Of recent Democratic administration:

The yearly salary list OF the superintendent OF
Public Buildings has thus increased nearly $780,
600 in four years. Nearly al this money has gone
into the pockets Of retainers Of Senator Edward
Murphy jr.. for superintendent Delehanty
naturally had a kindly feeling toward the SON
in-!aw who had given him $1,000 Office. While
Superintendent Delehanty has thus enormously
increased the salary list Of The orderies elevator
men, guards and sweepers of the Capitol he has
not kept that great building clean. 1t has been
abominaIy dirty and disgrace 10 the state.
This was a great misfortune TO the State. since
thousands Of tourists from foreign lands ana
from all parts Of the United states yearly visit
the Capitol. Contemplating its disgracefui con-
dition they must have wondered what Aind OF
government was possessed by the State Of New
York
Mr. Morton is asked by certain high Repub-
lean politicians to put in Delehanty's place
man of the Deehanty type. whose only concep-
ton apparently. II the Office Of Superintendent
Of Public Buildings is to get az large an ap-
preparation as possible and divide il among
Tot OF lazy politicians Mr. Morton in one case is
asked 10 appoint the ex-king OF the gamblers OF
one CITY in the State In another case ne Is
asked to appoint a petty ward politician. whose
red face excites an alarming suspicion as to the
nature Of his views upon the liquor franc. III
still another he Is asked to appoint
mediocre rural politician. None Of these men is
fit for the position of caring for the noblest OF
the States buildings. Mr.. Morton possibly would
do we'll 70 make an innovation In this Office OF
Superintendent OF Public Buildings and appoint
some woman 10 the place In tina; case a few
women with scrubbing brushes and mops would
be put at work about the Capitol and the big
building might approach a degree Of cleanliness
II is 70 be suspected that woman with a sal
ary list of only $4,000 could keep the big build
ing scrupuousy clean. But the men VINO
dawdle about it with mops never can.
Governor Morton and Controller Roberts also
had a talk about the big fees Isaac +. Perry, the
Capitol Commissioner has received as architect
OF various State armories. asylums and prisons
Mr. Perry receives the fine salary OF S15OO yearly
as Capitol Commissioner. But beyond this he
has had fees as architect for the buildings the
State was erecting elsewhere in the state In
Ave years he has received the following extra
compensation for his services as architect IN
drawing the plans Of State armories In Inc
places named below:

The apparent decrease in the cost OF mainte-
nance between 1898 and 1894 is caused by the
circumstance that an electrical apparatus costing
$4,000 90 and addition to the boilerhouse cost
ing sllei7 49, were made: which were not made in
1898 In 1892 kindred expenditures were made.
But an analysis Of the accounts discloses That
the increased cost Of maintaining the states
buildings in Albany vas brought about by
Superintendent Deehanty giving employment
10 large number Of Democratic politicians.
They could not have been needed since the build
!ngs are Of the same size In 1891 and no more
hands are required to for them. The salary
account Of the Superintendent of Buildings has
increased in the following startling way in four
wears of recent Democratic administration:
