Special 10 the Standard.
PHILIPsBuRG, Oct 6.-The election
FOR town officers took place to-day. and
has been the cause of much excitement.
Shortly after the incorporation movement
carried committee Of five from each
political party was appointed to meet and
confer as to the advisability Of a citizens
convention. The committee decided to
hold such convention on Saturday, Sep
tember %, aud it was thoroughly under
stood and agreed TO abide by the nomina-
tons made at the convention. So far as
the more respectable class OF republicans
is concerned, il can he said 20 their honor
that they stood by and worked for the
straight ticket. William Weinstein. whe
was one of the republican members OF tho
joint committee was candidate before
the convention for the nomination of
mayor, and out Of total Of lis votes cast
he received Just IL votes, proving him To
be a popular man in his own estimation
only. He then got the nomination for
alderman and was tossed TO one side by
the convention with very little II any sup
port. Seeing that he was in n hopeless
minority andpossibly fearing kick at that
time might iDjure his business he moved
10 make the nomination of. James Me-
Donel for mayor unanimous and was APP
pointed on committee 10 inform the
newly nominated man of his election, and
here il was supposed all chance for fight
ended. But IL seems that he was still un-
der the strange delusion tlat he was a
great man and to-day he bobbed up about
noon as candidate for mayor on an in
dependent ticket. Old residents here say
that they are not in the least surprised
at Weinstcin's action, as II is
only characteristic of the man, but
as stated above the more respectable
portion of the republicans did not sup
port him, and they feel much chagrined to
think that a self-constituted leader Of
their party should be guilty Of such
perildy anu double dealing.
The citizens ticket was elected by a
large majority, and the city officers for
the coming year will be: For mayor,
James McDonel; aldermen, First ward,
Charles Kroger and Thos. 5. Smith; Sec.
ond ward. w. |. Allison and Angus Me-
Intyre; Third ward, Fred Bowen aud
Chris Jacky. During the afternoon there
was great deal Of wire pulling, and Mr.,
Wcinstcin and his friends left nothing
undone. Ii will he remembered that
Weinstein was the man who as chairman
of the republican mass meeting here last
fall. at which Thomas B. Reed was the
chief attraction, in his Introductory speech
said that the tariff had become chestnut
and Mr.. Reed would tell the audience all
about silver, and everybody remembers
the total failure Of Reeds silver speech
probably the only one that gentleman
ever made that was not openly opposed
TO silver. Prominent republicans say tha
Weinstein has always been a sore-heat
and after to-day's work the republicans %
Philipsburg will be just as harmonious
and no more so than the noted Kilkenn!
