PosTMAsTER-GENERAL WANA-
MAKERS annual report has been
made public and a copy received by
THE REPUBLICAN. The report
shows the usual annual deficit in
the finances of the Department is
gradually bat surely disappearing.
1t amounted in the last year to only
e little more than $4,000, 900,
and that, too, in spite of the fact
that the revenue suffered loss of
over 81 900, 900 owing to the pas
sage of the antilottery bill; and the
estimates for 1893. which have been
prepared for the information of
Congress, show that the service
which, as is clearly Indicate by the
report. has been made to improve,
even at lower cost, will reach a
'self-sustaining basis about July /,
1898. The increase of the revenue
last year. in spite of the loss on the
transportation of lottery mail, is
over 81, 100000.

Comes Over the Auditor - Ants
Carry Two Important Points.
The first excitement of the conyen-
tlon came when nominations for auditor
were declared in order. In one of his
characteristic. fiery speeches Frank
Battley presented the name of James
ii. Burns. which was greeted with en-
thusiastic yells. A. E. Boyeson intro
duced the dark horse by naming G. +.
Slbley, and was loudly applauded by
the anti-BurnS men. Mr.. Scannell, of
the Second ward, seconded the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Burns, and Cy Wellington
and +. L. NuZum made good speeches
for Mr.. Sibley. j. E. Stryker, of the
Seventh ward, sprung another dar k
horse in the person of Horace G..
Dunno.
j. A. NOVEL; moved that an informal
ballot be taken for auditor, and a
standing vote was taken OH the mo-
tion. Secretary Allen counted the
heads. and the chairman announced the
vote as 67 to 62 against the motion. MIR.
Wellington challenged the vote or the
ground that the rule previously adopted,
providing for call of wards on all
questions, and the announcement of the
vote by the various ward chairmen had
not been followed. Chairman Flandrau
sustained the point raised by Mr.. Well
1ngton, and the roll of wards was called
for another vote upon the question.
The motion for an informal ballot was
carried by a majority of one, and the
convention then proceeded to vote in
formally for candidates for auditor

be no question that the convention act
ed upon best information and belief"
to borrow legal phrase. AS is invari-
ably the case in holding the primary
elections. Over-zealous partisans of as
pirants to political preferment are prone
to oyerStep the bounds and commit
errors. This is due to their enthusiasm
and their burning desire to encompass
their ends. This was the case in the
Ninth ward. but the same cannot be.
honestly related of the trouble in the
Sixth.
The committee on credentials had
siege that each member would have
much preferred to have avoided. The
three contesting delegations from the
Ninth ward made an interesting. or.
rather, exciting time in the little ladies'
waiting room for upwards of two hours.
These delegations appeared in the inter
ests Of Petsch, Walsh and Mcclellan, and
the committee finally refused to assume
the responsibilities of the case, and re-
ported in favor of compromise. They
suggested the novel procedure of seat
ing five delegates from among the sup
porters of each candidate, but the con-
vehtion rejected the proposition, and
the issue was forced to a final solution
on the floor. 1t Is agreed by the great
majority Of the delegates in the conven-
tlon that the course finally taken was
the wisest, and that it will tend to con-
serve the best interests of the party.
The issue was squarely met, and the
credentials certified to by the regularly
constituted primary judges were re-
eeiyed. and this action seated the r. A.

O'Brien, on the score that Mr.. Ives was
scarcely eligible because of the fact
that his name was to be presented to
the convention as the unanimous choice
of the Fifth ward as a candidate for the
legislature.
+ II. II. Fuller, now taking the floor,
moved the appointment OF committee
on credentials, to be composed of one
from each ward and one from the cOun-
trv. The chair named:

d Chairman Cullen explained that in
view of the anticipated contest in the
Ninth ward he had deemed it wisest not
to pl ice any delegate from that ward on
the committee. He did this because
three sets of delegates were to be pre-
sented, and lie was unable to decide
among them. This position received
the apparent Endorsement of the con-
ventiun, and without protest of any
sort the convention took an adjourn
ment for fifteen minutes for this CON-
mIttee to fix up its report and TO ad-
Judicate between the diSputantS. There
were delegates who maintained that it
would have been better way to have
adjourned until after dinner, for it was
patent that the committee could not
arrive at conclusions In the time allot-
ted. even were there no contests. As it
was, both the Sixth and Ninth wards
challenged some attention, and the latter
would doubtless consume upwards of
an hour. However, the fifteen-minute
recess obtained. but after waiting an
hour, the convention reassembled and
took further recess until o'clock.
The Ninth Ward Fight.
There was weary wait before the
convention was able to resume work.
The committee on credentials had
labored until o'clock listening to the
contestants from the Ninth ward. Each
party-the friends of Walsh. Petsch and
Mcclellan, was given hearing, three
for each candidate. On the face of the
returns the Walsh delegation was en-
titled to seat, but the Petsch people
claimed that their returns for the third
precinct were the only returns that
were entitled to consideration. They
claimed that the regularly appointed
Judges had failed to open the polls at
the hour designated by the call, and
that In consequence three Judges had
been selected by, voters present, and
that these judges had returned Petsch
delegates.
The Walsh contingent told quite
different story. One of the regularly
appointed judges had been dilatory, it
was confessed, but it was stoutly main
tanned, on the other hand, that theNother
judges were promptly at their post of
duty, and that after waiting a reasona-
bic length of time, a third man was
elected by these two, and the polls were
regularly opened for the voters. More
over. it was claimed that j. Pottgieser,
in the interest of Mr.. Petsch, had mean
while opened polls on the outside,
claiming that his was the only regular
