dent and other officers reports were then
taken up.
The official report given out by the press
committee was that the entire scale as
reported by the wage committee had been
ratified with a few slight alterations"
What the Slight alteration were the press
committee refused to divulge. They did
say, however, that on the whole the con-
sideration of the report was harmonious
and that it was the first time in the his
tory Of the convention that it was dis
posed Of in one day. This, they said,
showed that it was entirely acceptable
to the great majority of the delegates.
Victory for ShaHer.
The ratification of scales is another VIC
tory for President Shaffer and his policy.
1t was he who originated the idea Of sign
Ing the scales in advance and had the
policy sanctioned by the executive board
When objections were raised against the
plans followed he bore the brunt of the
blame. Consequently the sanction given
the wage committees report means that
President Shaffer continues to hold the
confidence of the association. The press
committee denies that a minority report
was filed. 1t is true, however, that one
was contemplated, and if it was not pre-
pie decided to drop the scheme at the last
moment
The new scales as ratified are praeti-
caly the same as these effective last
year. They will be in force until July 1,
1868. No conference with manufacturers
will be necessary after the convention.
The scales with the independent mills
will be signed by the district vice-presi-
dents. The conventions progress today
indicates that it will clean up it's busI-
ness by Wednesday.
As to Political Discussions.
The most important matters to be con-
sidered now are the proposition to strike
out from the constitution the prohibitory
clause regarding discussions of political
and economic questions, the increasing
of assessments and the change of head
quarters
Organizer Flynn's return today has
stirred up much ill-feeling among the
dominant Shaffer element and it seems
assured he will not be given the privi-
lege of the floor to defend his chief
Gompers, who was wired for, Mas not
yet responded, and Flynn deprecates his
coming, though he is the man who on
Saturday sent the message advising the
Federation president to come. Flynn's
friends threaten TO hire theater and
give their alleged inside history of the
Gompers-Shaffer controversy, if the con-
vention declines TO grant hearing.

Norman Fetter Tells Sixth Ward
DeOcrats How AdministratiOn's
Friends Were Cared for in
Violation OF Charter.

Comptroller McCardy's Juggling of the
charter to the benefit of his friends was
the subject of a ringing speech delivered
by Norman Fetter, last night. before an
enthusiastic audience of Sixth ward
Democrats, at Paul Martins opera house.
South Wabasha street.
Over 200 Democratic neighbors of T. b.
Doran gathered in Paul Martins opera
house last night while down stairs the
Republican supporters OF Doran vainly
tried to corral enough voters to organize
a Doran club. After the Republicans had
given up in eminent disgust the big
crowd Of Democrats upstairs was cheering
to the echo the convincing speeches made
by DR.. Alexander ]. Stone, Representa-
tive James R. Hickey, Pierce Butler,
Winn Powers, George c. Lambert, Louis
Betz, Aid. NJ. j. Moriarty, ]. M. HaW-
thOrne and Michael DoTan Jr.
Pierce Butler made one of his charac-
terisucally straightforward speeches,
which i'll its clean cut convincing argu-
ment, and Mr.. Buffers superb oratory,
fairly carried the audience off It's feet Dr.
Stone arraigned the Republican cam
paigners for their TRADES Of personal
abuse and compared the three recent Re
publican administrations with the present
Democratic administration. The other
speakers dealt with the issues of the cam
paign and the platform to which the
candidates pledged themselves in Cle most
Unequivocal terms.
Mr.. Fetter's speech was one of the sen
sations of the campaign True to his
personal dignity Mr.. Fetter descended to
no personalities but he carried the war
into the enemy's camp with a series OF
onslaughts, backed by indisputable fig
ures, which should give delight to the
soul Of McCardy, who revels in figures
and the charter. Mr.. Fetter handled Nc
Cardy's juggling OF the charter provisions
to suit mis- own and his friends conVen-
ience, without gloves. He said:
Norman Fetter's Speech.
Mr.. Chairman and fellow Democrats:
This is my maiden speech in the cam
paign, as heretofore l have been mere
ly an interested spectator, but there fs
one thing that has struck me as being
peculiar during this campaign, when
we have charged the Republican admin
lstration with incompetency and inef-
