Part 2, Previous pages missing. O'Callaghan, seeing that if there were inquiries and insinuations he would be doomed, decided to take the aggressive. Accordingly he set to work and wrote a discourse which he read last Sunday, denouncing all who would undertake to injure his reputation by secret investigations, and who would propagate scandal by hints and insinuations. He excluded the Bishop Amadeus Rappe from any part in this; the Bishop's duty -- if charges were made against O'Callaghan -- would be to ask him if there were true, and institute a court of inquiry if O'Callaghan's answers were unsatisfactory. With such a public inquiry there could be no scandal, and it would bring attention to the alleged charges that O'Callaghan accepted the donations and that he is rather a business man. To both of these charges he pleads guilty, and is sorry that he was not guiltier, since his people would have benefited. His discourse was rather high handed, but O'Callaghan believes it the only thing that could be done. He exonerated the Bishop, who has never reproved him, but there must be a mistake somewhere, for though the Bishop probably did not of himself authorize the proceeding, it probably went on with his sanction. O'Callaghan is now in Cleveland awaiting an interview with him. The key to the campaign against O'Callaghan is the fact that Bishop Rappe has learned O'Callaghan was the leader of the opposition against him. For some time charges of maladministration have been brought against Rappe, and these have at last received attention, with the result that it probably will soon be announced that, because of old age, infirmity, etc., Bishop Rappe has been obliged to resign his office. O'Callaghan thinks the Bishop feeling his days are numbered, has resolved either to ruin him or, by circumventing him, compel him to commit himself in such a manner as to weaken the force of the charges. Only time can tell the outcome; the next six weeks in the diocese are pregnant with events. All is in confusion now in O'Callaghan's parish at Youngstown, where he was just beginning some important work. The bishop suspects O'Callaghan of being "Jus ", but lately Rappe and his friends have been settling upon ex-bishop Michael O'Connor as the writer. This pleases O'Callaghan so that he has encouraged the belief, for it will bring converts to the scheme. If the whole truth were known nothing could save O'Callaghan, and Bishop Rappe would soon sing the Canticle of Moses over him in joy. P.S. He encloses an Australian newspaper from which McMaster may, if he wishes, reprint an item. :: I-1-n A.L.incomplete 4pp. 8vo.
