BISHOP FITZGERALD.
Spoken for President of Ocean Grove
Camp Meeting Association.

OCEAN GROVE, N. Y, November
1O.-Bishop James Fitzgerald of the
Methodist Episcopal church now sta
toned at New Orleans may be the next
president of the Ocean Grove Camp
meeting association, position which
is in reality the dictatorship of t. is
popular religious and health resort.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers OF the association is being held
today behind closed doors, and Bishop
Fitzgerald and Rev. c. II. Yatman,
the evangelist, are understood to be
the only ones favorably regarded by
those having charge of the Groves
interests. The vacancy is occasioned
by the de ath some months since of
Rev. G. b. Stokes, to whose earnest
labors Ocean Grove is indebted for its
great development as Methodist re-
sort. He literally lived in an- atmos-
phere of "boomipg," so far as the
resort was conce ned, sacrificing first
his heath and then bis life in its in
terest. 1t is thought that there may
be division of Ocean Groves, inter-
ests, religious and secular. After the
death of DR.. Stokes in July last Bishop
presided at the auditorium
services, and it is significant that he
has remained at Ocean Grove since the
evauRelistic season closed. If he is
elected president it will involve his
resignation from the board of bishops

of this city. He represented an En-
glish syndicate whose financial re-
spousibility was settled beyond dispute:
and instead of clustering through fake
newspapers and babbling on the street
corners, he received his commission
from his clients in London, proceeded
to Washington, laid before the attorney
general proposition for the purchase
at price to pay every dollar of the
government Indebtedness, with the
most absolute assurances of the re-
sponsibil of those he represented.
With such responsible proposition
before the government, the American
syndicate was compelled either to
leave the field or to raise it's bid to the
full amount of the English syndicate's
proposition presented by Judge Thomp-
son. The result was that the Amer
ican syndicate made a virtue of peces-
sity, revised its prop sitiOn, and now,
no matter who shall purchase the Pa
cltic railroad at the coming sale, the
government will receive the full
amount of the railroads indie ebteness.-

New York Fake journalism

Any one who has been reading the
New York Word" for some weeks
past with any tendency toward Gre
dulity would necessarily assume that
that journal, single and alone, bad de-
fested the sale of the Pacific railroads
to the American syndicate much be-
low their actual value. 1t frantically
appealed to the president and to the
country to halt the steal, and when a
revised proposition was finally made to
pay the entire Indebtedness of the
government, it devoted pages to self
congratulation and heralded the solicit
ed congratulstioI from others.
ANY person who has been reading
the New York journal" during the
came period aud cherishing any respect
for it's truthfulness could not but as
sumo that the Journal" single and
alone. defeated the Pacific railroad
steal. 1t sent out frantic shrieks to
the president and TO the public against
the sacrifice OF the government inter
est in the Pacific railroad, when the
government had no such purpose what
ever; and when the Americana syn
dicate revised its bid to pay the full
amount of indebte doess to the govern
ment, it devoted illustra ed pages to
congratulations given to itself by it,
self, aud to others which came from its
earnest solicitation.
In point of fact neither the New
York ''World' nor the New York
''Journsl' had any more to do ith
defeate the contemplated fraud
upon the government In the sale of the
Pacific railroad than had the man in
the moon. The whole thing was done
in q business way, on business prin-
ciples and by men who made no
ostentatious display of their virtues.
The sale that was expected by the
American syndicate was defeated solely
because an entirely responsible En-
glish syndicate offered the full amount
Of the government Indebtedness to the
attorney-geperal.
The one man Of this country who was
instrumental in assuring to the gov
erument the full amount of its indebt-
edness by the sale of TIE Pacific rail-
road is ex-Judge Samuel G. Thompson, I,
