THE DEAL WENT THROUGH.
Two Republicans and the Democrats
Re-Organize the School Board.
SEVEN POWERLESS REPUBLICANS.
only Six of Them Appeared to Make Hope
less Attack Upon the slate-J. j. Price
President, Frank Hanna Secretary,
G. W. Dengler Treasurer, and
T. r. Beddall Solicitor.

1t is all over now. Speculation as to the
political complexion of the School Board on
reorganization is at end. Two Republican
School Directors went over to six Democrats
at the meeting last night and left six Repub-
lican members cold in helplessness to organ
lze the Board under the conditions which the
public was led to expect by the results of
last springs election. One School Director
dld not appear to take part in the organiza-
ton, so that left fourteen votes to be cast
when the time arrived to name the officers of
the Board for the fiscal year of 1867.
The result of last nights work is that
John j. Price is president of the Board;
Frank Hanna is secretary; G. w. Dengler
Treasurer, and r. R. Beddall, Esq, Solicitor.
In other words the Democratic members
| elected the choice of two Republican mem
bers for three offices in return for the support
of the two aforesaid Republicans in the cleo
tiOn of Democratic Secretary. 1t is per-
fecty proper to say that this arrangement
was made to the exclusion of the other seven
Republican members and at no time was
there a caucus of the nine Republican mem
bers on the subject of reorganization 1t is
said that last nights proceedings by no
|
wears on other contingencies will make
themselves apparent There is no official dec
laration as to the cause for the two Repub-
liGan members going over to the Democratic
side, but some who claim to know say that it
is nothing less than consummated plan to
get even with certain members of the Board
for defeat Of certain teachers last summer.
The claim is made that the Republicans can
not complain, because they get all the ap-
pointments but the Secretary, but it is as
serted ON the other hand that it was far
from fair for the two Republicans to absorb
the responsibility that rightfully belonged to
nine. There can be no question that the
deal is far from popular, notwithstanding
that thus far the Republicans have lost but
one appointment under it and much bitter
feeling has been occasoned by it, Indeed,
unless herculean measures are taken there is
danger that the result will affect future
elections.
The old members present at the meeting of
the Board were Messrs. Ogden, Baugh, Smith,
Morgan, Dewitt, Lee, Conry, Manley, Con-
nors, Trezise Hanna, Price, James and Ed
wards. The absentee was Mr.. Williams.
Messrs Timothy O'Brien, John F. Higgins,
b. +. Church and NJ. j. Sullivan were the
new members in attendance
Some time was taken up before the open
ing of the meeting in having Justice T. T.
Williams swear tbe old officers of tbe Roard
to the financial statement to be forwarded to
the State Department This having been
disposed of the Board was called to order
and Borough Auditor Bamberger announced
that the annual financial statement of the
Board had been completed and added that
the Auditors found the books in excellent
