NEW-JERSEY NEWS.

Alderman John ]. Post has apparently stirred
up two quart tempest in the teapot of the
Paterson Republicans by refusing 10 be gov
erned by a party caucus which wanted to make
the city official appointments for three years TO
come before the new Board Of Aldermen could
get a whack at the spoils The Board will be
equally divided politically when the new mem
bers take their seats. and few OF the Demo-
Gratis who helped TO elect their ticket would like
to be little Johnny Horners for while. AS the
Mayor. who is a Democrat, will hold the balance
of power it is wholly probable that they will
get their share. Where the Republicans were
short that they did not fill the official posi-
tions before the election took place. They were
in the majority then. and IL appears that they
had the power 10 fill the places. OF course, they
are angry at the Republican member who has
kicked the party traces. and the Demo-
Gratis disposed to regard him as a good fell
low To the candid observer. however, Alder
man Post has probably done more harm to
himself politically than he has done 70 either
the city or his party inasmuch as he has taught
the Republicans a lesson and the city Is not
likely 70 go fihtc bankruptcy under Democratic
control.

When Colonel Sheffield Phelps returned from
Europe few days ago number Of wide awake
Bergen County Republicans, like c. E Brecken-
ridge z. H Wakelee and others, had a good
story TO tell him. II appears, as the story runs
that Colonel William Barbour in his desire 10
go from Passaic County district delegate 10
the Republican National Convention attempted
to steal a march on the Bergen County men,
who had already determined that Colonel Phelps,
Of Bergen County, was entitled divide the
honors with Passaic. To make his selection
sure beyond any slip, Colonel Barbour made
common cause with De Witt c. Bolton, Of Pater-
SON. who also aspired TO be a delegate. This ar
rangement was learned all in good time by the
Bergen County men, and they resolved TO upset
it. inasmuch as they had concluded that Passaic
County was not entitled TO the two district dele
gates They didn't let their feet get cool before
they went TO work When the time came for
holding the convention for the selection of the
two district delegates they had managed so well
that the Passaic County men in position
to continue the contest for both delegates and
they agreed 70 surrender one OF them at dis
cretion. A little later, when the Passaic people
found that they whipped 10 a point where
they couldn't move without getting caught. they
agreed TO drop both Barbour and Bolton face
tiousIy known as the two BIS" But the Ber-
gen County men didn't care to take the whole
game, and declined to accept the honOrs about
to be conferred for any one but Colonel Phelps.
The result was that Colonel Phelps and Colonel
Barbour selected, and the scheme Of the
Passaic County Colonel had failed 10 work On
the day OF his return from abroad (and here is
where the Bergen County men get in their
laugh Colonel Phelps met Colonel Barbour IN
New-York Congratulations were in order. and
they mutually extended. Then Colonel
Barbour. the Bergen County Republicans say,
proceeded with much apparent pleasure 10 tell
Colonel Phelps how nicely he had fixed things
up for him in the convention, and eloquently let
the credit for the selection OF Colonel Phelps fall
upon himself! And the Bergen County men
saying that If Colonel Barbour works all his
political schemes as successfully he worked
this one he will have 10 get some other man
than De Witt Bolton for his ade-de-camp the
next time he makes a campaign. Mr.. Bolton
hasn't been heard from, the supposition being in
Bergen County that he is too busy thinking
