GRESHAM'S BOOM

General Hears the Buzzing Of a
Presidential Bee.
Stand Against the NIinionaire--wa-
bash scheme Doubtful.
TALK WITH JAY GOULD


NEW YORK, Dec. ga reporter of the
Tribune was successful in seeking Mr..
Gould yesterday in regard to the decision
of Judge Gresham on the Wabash case. az
never met Judge Gresham" he said,
"and know little about him. Some OF
the Wabash bondholders have been here
to- day ano from what they have told me
about him think he must be suffering
from severe attack of presidential fever.
IL IL u terrible disease and when man Is
fully under its sway he will do almost
anything. Thurman, you remember, had
the fever at one time. The road TO the
White House begins at the abuse OF Gould
and Sage. 1t does not cost much to call
us names and these men with political
aspirations think that it has great weight
with the people. From what | hear
think Judge Gresham's opinion In the
Wabash case was owing to the buzzlng of
bee In his bonnet, but the charges
against me are wholly without founda-
tion.n
Ia reply to an inquiry whether the de-
cision would interrupt the reorganization
scheme Of the Wabash company he could
say simply: "It rather mixes things up.o
THE NEW YORK SENTIMENT.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The World says;
Judge Gresham's decision removing
Scion Humphreys from the receiyership
of the Wabash railway, was received with
acclaim by the members OF t1e large and
growing anti. Gould party In Wall Street.
1t was said that Gresham was the first
Judge to take decided stand against Jay
Gould In case involving part Of the
millionaire property. Judge Gresham
is the man for whom boom
for the Republican presidential candidate
was started in 1883. Yesterday the boom
was started again. Henry Ciews stood In
front Of room full OF operators yester-
day and said ~ predict that Judge
Gresham VIII be the next Republican
nominee for president. He is man up
on whom all factions can unite, and this
decision will not hurt him in the least
The management Of the Wabash railway
has been shameful and the judges de-
cision strikes at the very root OF the
evil"
A representative of the Wabash pur-
chasing committee said there had been no
discussion as yet in regard to Judge
Gresham's decision or as TO what should
now be done. The committee has de-
posted with it on the approval of its
plans about Sl,o00,000 OF the total
81, O00, 900 OF Wabash securities. The
holders of SO Oo0, 900 of Wabash securi-
ties who were represented in Chicago
arr against the purchasing commit
tees plans. The other security holders
do not seem to have taken side In the
controversy, but are waiting for develop
ments. Whether the Wabash committee
win buy and compromise with the dis
satisfied holders is not determined, but
many believe the reorganization plans
will go through, and they base their be-
lief ON the superstition that the Gould in-
terests is to- strong to be oalked by
such thing as decision by Judge
| Gresham.
