The Jacksonville Citizen Brought to
Ocala by Special Train and Distributed
Free-
The citizens of Ocala were treated to
f>omething yesterday they had never
before enjoyed—a Jacksonville morn
ing daily fresh for breakfast.
A special train chartered by the
Citizen brought this paper to Ocala by
eight o'clock, and It was distributed
by carriers throughout the city free.
Ocala was the subject of specially
nice treatment in its columns. Mr
Brumby, the Citizen's correspondent
here, gave us a three column write up,
putting Ocala’s best foot forward. -°ter
all of which the citizens of Ocala feel
most grateful.
It is claimed that the special
that brought this edition of the Cb
zen is the fastest ou record on the line
of the F. C. A P., and the affair hen
all railroad time and ail newspaper
enterprise heretofore known in the
history of those twin motors of civili
zation in the state of Florida.
Of course the first impulse of every
body was to know what was the im
mediate and moving cause of the ex
penditure of so much energy, haste
| end money?
If the President had been impeached
or assassinated; if some anarchist had
exploded a bomb in the halls of Con
gress; if the Queen had died -and the
F.nglish government had been trans
formed into a republic; if Rio do Ja
m ro, the beautiful capitol of Brazil,
had been blown to atoms by Mello
and Peixoto captured; if New York
city had been swallowed up by an
earthquake, or some other appalling
catastrophe had occurred in some part
of the world, it would have afforded
some explanation for this extraordina
ry “outbreak” of the Citizen, bu f
coming upon us on the dead quiet of
a Sabbath morning and heralding no
unusual occurrence, the average citi
zen was in doubt what to ascribe it to;
aud while the majority hailed it as au
imitation of “Pulitzer enterprise,”
others were irreverent enough to
ascribe it to an exhibition of “dam
foolism,” using the phrase, of course,
in no profane or offensive sense.
And this leads us to ark what,
about the Citizen anyway? In the
language of the street urchin, “What
is it here for?"
There is certainly no legitimate
field for another democratic daily
newspaper in the city of Jacksonville.
The field is more than occupied by the
Times-Fuion, the Evening Telegram
and the Evening Metropolis.
We venture the assertion that in no
city in the United States, no larger
than Jacksonville, is there so complete
a newspaper as the Tiutcs-Cnion. It
is a far better paper than the needsj.f
Jacksonvile justify or its citizens can
support, and the determination of its
promoters to put it on a footing with
other Southern newspapers published
in much larger towns, have been done
at a loss, and as the manager is a
young man “native and to the raan
nor born,” his efforts should re_*eiv, a
nigh degree of recognition by the peo
ple of Florida.
As there is no legitimate opening f< t
another democratic newspaper in
Jacksonville what is the object of tin:
new-comer? And if its object is to
crush out the Times-Fuion, should it
be sustained; or whether it is or is
not, is this throwing up of h its and
“hurrahing” for the Citizen just the
fair tliiug to au old established journal
J.i'itl ib’r* stute l" u H y ears of
ft ithfu 1 se^tceT*"* p-1 * ’
We know little of the antecedents
of those connected with the Citizen.
They are all stranges to Florida and to
her needs. If there was an election in
Florida to morrow uone of them
would be entitled to a vote: So the
very name of the paper is a misnomer.
On the other baud, Mr. Stockton is
a native of Florida; his father was a
pioneer and as gallant a soldier as
Florida sent to the front. He survied
the war but a short time, ami the dis
asterous termination of that event left
his family in extreme poverty. His
sons have been the architects of their
own fortunes. They near honora
ble names and Lave achieved for
themselves a reputation that reflects
honor upon the state that gave them
birth. Tlie state should be
proud of them, and proud of the pa
per that the time and talents of the
oue, aud the money of the other, have
built un.
Ami for what and from whence
comes this desire to crush out the
Times-Fuion? And what is the mean
ing of tins special railroad service for
the new-comer?
The man is naturally or artificially
blind who fails to comprehend the
meaning of it all.
It means that the Times-Fnion must
be crushed out because of its support
of Senator Call.
It means that those who have
the courage to oppose the influence of
corporate power must be put down.
The money and corporate influ
ence is a potent power, as we all
know, aud it remains with the people
of Florida to say whether or not ibis
shall be done.

What Was it All For?
Under (he heading of a “Newspa
per Sensation” the Ocala correspon
dent of the Jacksonville Metropolis
sends a telegram about the Citizen's
special car and free delivery business
of Sunday, but fails to explain the
whymssof the which or the which
ne*s of the why, and we feel worried,
badly worried. Is it to be an every
day performance, or only on Sundays?
Is Ocala to be the recipient of these
honors over all the towns in Florida;
or is a special free delivery train ser
vice going to be inaugurated for all
Florida towns? What's the meaning
of it all, anyway? Why don’t the
Citizen tell us all about it or why docs
the special telegram to the Metropolis
fail to enlighten us? We don’t under
stand these meteoric outbreaks from
clear, cloudless sUre*, ou the dead
quiet of a duli day, and the mystery
grows when there is never an expla
nation for the leg sensation. But
here’s the special despatch to to the
Metropolis:
Ocala, January 15.—Ocala awoke
Sunday morning to the greatest news
paper sensation in her history when
at 8:19 o’lock a m. the special train
chartered by the Florida Citizen ar
rived at the depot with 2.590 copies of
Sunday's issue on board.
The run from Jacksonville to Ocala
was made in le-s than three hours, Slid
this Cilizeti train is said to have made
the best time ever recorded between
the t ao cities.
The O'-ala r> pr sentative, with
twelve newsboys, met W. F. Crowell
and E P Hulse, of theeinodation de
partment of the paper, who were in
charge of the train, ami before 9
o’clock the Citizen had beeu placed iu
nearly every home in Ocala.
The enterprise -o well planned and
so well executed has been the talk of
Ihe day and the three columns of
Ocala news captured (he hearts of the
people. This brilliant stroke of news
paper work is without a parallel in
Florida and all Oealians praise the en
terprise and perfect, success of the e
tire plan and believe anew ra has
dawned in Florida journalism.

: To tl.u Editor off thv daiinrr.
Winter Park, Jan. U, 94.
The growing interest iu the spirit
; u:ii philosophy manifested by tbe
j large yearly accretions to the numbers
: attending camp wherever held
! throughout the north, and the increas
| ing desire of so many to escape the
rigor of northern winters induced a
; number of jieople attending C'assadaga
i camp during the summer of 1592 to at
! tempt the founding of an association
I for the purpose of holding winter
! meetings somewhere in the south,
j Ur. W. :S. Rowley, cf Cleveland, ().,
| who is already so widely known
i through his magnetic telegraphy and
; wonderful diagnosis of disease by
i spirit power, In came the able pioneer
of this important movement. Con
sidering Florida the only state itj the
Union capable of yielding ail the re
quirements for a successful mid-win
ter camp, lie came down late in the
fall of ’92 and spent several weeks in
vest gating different locations through
out the state, finally deciding upon
DeLeon Springs, Volusia county, as
the place where the first meeting
should be held. This decision was
largely due to the famous mineral
spring at that place, named iu honor
of its noted Spanish discoverer, Ponce
dc Leon, iu the early part of the six
teenth century, aud from which the
place derives its present name. A
hurri.-d excursion was gotten up, some
3,000 people taking hasty flight to the
South, with DeLeon Springs as the
center of attraction to those interested
in the liberal movement. A society
was organized called tbe National
Spiritual and Liberal Association of
Florida, with D. Rowley as its presi
dent. A camp meeting of five weeks
ensued. At its close arrangements
were made to locate there permanent
ly, but later, difficulties arose, due to
the depressed state of finance every
where prevalent. ibis, together with
the fact that accommodations could
not then be arranged for at DeLeon
adequate;to the demands of the large
number of excursionists preparing to
attend camp the coming season, the
boat'd of trustees decided to hold a
trial meeting at Winter Park, with
tlie intention of makiug a final de
cision during this session concerning
the permanent location of the camp.
Home of the best taien’ among leading
speakers and mediums have been en
gaged, with excellent music for Hie
whole season of eight wteks by a pop
ular Cleveland orchestra. Every
thing will be done to make the meet
ing enjoyable and a success. Ar
rangements had been made to start
tlie excursion January 9th and lOtb,
and open tbe meeting January 14th,
but difficulties arising at the last mo
ment among railway officials, relative
to rates, have caused delay. Late as
surunce, however, from some of the
leading officials, give promise of an
early adjustment, of the trouble, so the
meeting may still be expected, though
at a later date. Full particulars with
program will be sent you immediately
upon receipt of same. A letter just
received from Pierre 1.. O. A. Keeler,
tbe world-renowned slate-writing me
dium, states bis intention of coming
very soon, even if the excursion does
not. If be comes Florida people will
have a rare opportunity for exploring
the mysteries of tlie “unseen world”
just beyond us.
