TO The Ed,tur af Tia Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, JAM "A writer in Sundays
TE1BuSE, under the signature Of ''Primitive
Ways," saxs The Diocese Of Illinois is ready to
give three-fourths vote for Dr. Seymour"
Nil1 this reverend Ritualist, who Is the recog-
uixed rnorth-pieca of DR.. Deko7en in this
diocese, and who has undertaken to run it, be
30 good as to let us KNOW how ho knows what
be says Has he canvassed all the parishes ?
It is veil known that secret conclaye OF the
DeKorenlte clergy and laity WAS held in Chicago
,fter the rejection Of Dr.. Seymour. at which q
plan OF the campaign WIS agreed upon, the
purpose OF which Was to carry majority OF the
parishes for tbs 3ltualista, ostenshly tore-eIect
the great rejected. but reAlly for the purpose Of
,!ecting Dr. Dekoven.
How far this little scheme has been successful
may be inferred from the statement Of "Primi-
ave Wars Non, this reverend dictator may
possibly be counting his chickens before they
ire matched. He th1nks he leads all the coan-
TIT parishes By the nose, but he may be mis-
taken. at all events. 10 had better wait and Sec
TIE Ritualistic clereymen in this diocese are
but handful. instead OF the '.host they would
make the public believe they are from the noise
they make. When they talk about the minority,
what do they mean?
They are the minority, and it is for them to
8nDlQ1I 10 L16 Nui OIL A1e Wa}0lLy J. uafe NOT
canyaased the parishes like "Primitire Ways"
and his committee, but I yenturs to prophecy
hat, in epile Of all the private letters and pr
rate uce1ipgs Of tbese wire-pulle1s, neither DR..
Seymour, nor DR.. Dekoyen, nor any other known
hiralist, will be elected Bishop Of Illinois.
ALL The talk shout the Convention and its injrs-
ace to Dr.. Seymour, 80 freely indulsed in BY tho
neKorcnites, is on1y evading the real question.
No ore has anything against DR.. Seymour OF De-
Kovcn as men and Christians, but they represent
shat small wing ialways fApping) Of tho Protest
Int Episcopal Church in the United States whose
I.eps-lke those OF their Rtualstic brethren in
Epetaud-ere steadily leading them towards the
aomish Church. As such they are now known
And understood in this diocese, and, whea the
time for voting comes. they will be judged ac-
The iEsue las been forced upon the
Episcopa!ans of this diocese by little squad of
Rtaalistic clergy in this city, and will DO ac-
cepted. Let al true churchclen stand shoulder
to shoulder in behalf Of old-fashioned Episco-
oalianitm versus the modern Rltualism OF Racine
md St. Abans, of DeKovea aud Seymour, 1nd all
kill be we'll. Let principles, not men, be our
motto, &ud tho good of the Church be our aim. |

at the time D1. Seymour w4s elected Bishop, to
enlishten the Convention concerning the opin-

following question: ''What does Dr.. Craik know
about Dr. SEYMOUR" Aud this ia substantially
Ill tho reply tho reverend writer can or dare
youchEafe to the statement made By DR.. Craik
respecting the unsoupdness of Dr.. Seymour as
d churchman, and the reason why he
Uas rejected by the General Convention.
Who claimed that Dr. Craik knows more about
Dr.. Seymour than his Rituahttic admirers OF
Wabash avenue and West Washington street do?
Nobody now doubts but that the writer Of tho
Article knew, when be voted for DR.. Seymour, as
much about him as Dr.. Craik did. The differ
ence, however, between them is that Dr.. Craik
told what he knew, while ~ True Episcopa-
Ian did not tell ''the truth, the whole truth;
