The council committee on public buildings has icfuscd to return to the architects own ing them the unaccepted plans of the city hall. As n consequence , some of Iho nrohl- tocts are exceedingly angry. F. M. Ellis has acclarcd his intention to replevin ills nnd make the city pay the cost nnd has notified Iho mayor nnd city attorney of his attention. Sidney Smith says that they can huvo his , but that he will go to court and make the city pay a handsome prlco for thorn. At the same time Mr. Smith tool : occasion to express - press tils opinion of the Idea of having anyone - ono but experts pass upon plans. Mendelssohn , Fisher & Lawrle said that they had applied to the city clerk for their designs mm had been told Hint U was the Intention of the committee to retain all the plans until the contract had been formally awarded to Fowler & Huhulorf. He said further that while the plan of the last men tioned linn had been accepted , the contract had not been awardcd.uor would it bo until Iho architects had given a sufficient bond nnd had presented working plans nnd specifica tion. In the event of a failure to produce a bond or to draw such specifica tions ntid working plans , as to enable the building to bo erected , it would bo necessary to fall back upon some other of the plans submitted. "Will you co to law to compel the committee - tee to return your plans ! " "No , indeed. Wo are entitled to them , even under the proposition asking for plans , which stated , In substance , that Iho phms not accepted would be returned after the committee had made its award. But if wo went into the courts it would bo said that wo did so through spite because our work had not been accepted. It is , nevertheless , an injustice , because wo will bo deprived of our work for almost un indefinite period. " "Said another architect : "I can't got my plans , but I can't help that. I have no guarantee tllnt they will bo returned to mo ut all. Neither do I know but that while they are in the committee's bauds , they are sub ject to tlio Inspection of the successful archi tects. If these adopt nuy of my work the city will bo gainer. But , It is said Fowler ler & BoindorfT will bo nblo to got tholr workfng plans and specifications ready in three weeks. It can't bo douo. They might put the best men they could get on the work , and they will not bo able to get thoao specifications out inside of three mouths to save them from purgatory. ' ' Ticvnilick's lecture.

The county democracy are very sere over their defeat In the mayor alty contest nnd iho distribution of local patronage. The union might lead to the con trol of the legislature by inoro than two- thirds , thus enabling the majority to over rule Hill's vntoes. The trade will ho ono of local ofllccs for legislative republicans to take Iho latter.
