It was fairly well adapted for its purposes, excepting that the ventilation was very deficient, and there was not a sufficient num- ber of committee rooms. All excepting the principal committees were obliged to hold their meetings in the rooms of members at the hotels, or in such corners and vacant places as could be secured. This new and second capitol was not rebuilt without the St. Paul delegation and the citizens suffering serious nervous chills. A most vigorous move was set on foot, the mo...rning after the de- struction of the old building, to remove the capital from St. Paul, and great inducements were said to have been offered to members of the legislature to consider the proposition. Some of the most influential members were approached, urging them to assist in such movement. Governor Pillsbury, however, was inflexible in his re- fusal to entertain any consideration of the question, and an honor- able sense of fairness with a majority of the members caused the leaders in the scheme finally to desist from their attempt, and the legislature adjourned, after having made all necessary provisions for the construction of the second capitol.
