NAY BE GAILOR YET.
EPISCoP ALrANS AT SEA OVER THE
ELECIION OF A BISHOP.

The Savannah Dele cation to the Do
cesar Convention to Leave for Me-
cen To-niRht-rhe Christ Church Del
egates Believed to be in Favor OF
Extending DR.. Gailor a Second Call.
His Acceptance Doubtful, But His
Defamation Not Positive.
Savannsh's delegation TO the Episcopal
diocesan convention which meets in Macon
tomorrow to elect bishop will leave for
Macon tonight.
In all probability all of the delegates from
Savannah In the last convention will attend
the Macon convention. Rev. G. II. Strong
and Capt. D. G. Purse and w. de Bruyn
Hops of St. Johns church will 60, and so
will Rev. Robb White, w. G. Charlton, ESQ.,,
and Capt. ]. R. F. Tattnall of Christ church.
Capt. II. C. Cunningham also expects TO
attend from Christ church.
Some Of these gentlemen were in doubt
whether they would go, but the danger Of
a small convention, in which majority
might fail to voice the sentiment OF the
whole church, has aroused them to attend
from a sense Of duty, If not from interest.
MAY CALL DIR. GATLoR AGAIN.
Mr.. Charlton said yesterday that it was
his intention to be present Everything,
he said, seems to be quiet "a to the bishopric.
and there will probably be little of inter-
est until the convention meets.
When asked il he had any prefer
ence for bishop Mr. Charlton said: II
would prefer TO make another call on DR..
Gailor If there is any possibility Of his ac-
cepting the place. believe be is the most
able man in the church in the south to-day
A.. r.
That he is only "a years OF age Is some
thing greatly in his favor when the work he
has already done is considered. / believe
heis a man thoroughly consscrated. / can
realize the amount Of influence which has
been brought to bear to keep him at Sc
vance. He has accomplished great work
there. Like all great men be is modest and
does not see that he might accomplish even
greater good elsewhere
VOTED FOR GAILoR BEFORE.
Mr.. Charlton voted for DIR. Gailor in the
Savannah convention, and 90 did the other
lay delegates from Christ church, Capt.
Tattnail and Mr.. Hunter. This, doubtless, is
news to great many people who were under
the impression that both delegations from
Savannah voted against DIR. Gailor.
Mr.. Charlton, like Rev. Mr.. Barrett of
Atlanta, only made mp hfs mind TO vote for
DIR. Gailor on the day Of the election, not
being convinced until then that the charges
of ritualism brought against him were
groundless. AS soon as he was satisfied that
such was the case, he decided that DR..
Gailor was the man for the place.
In case DIR. Gailors name does not figure
Ia the convention, Mr.. Chanlton could not
say who will be brought forward. He
would prefer Bishop Garrett OF Texas, who
was nominated in the convention in Savan-
nah by Rev. Mr. Stuart Martin, aud whom
he knows to be grand man.
Rev. mir. Barrett OF Atlanta has gone to
Europe. and SO his name will hardly figure
in the convention.
Rev. A. G. p Dodge Of St. Simon's is not
believed to desire the place.
WILL HARDLY ACCEPT.
Quite a number think the result of the
convention will be a unanimous second call
to DIR. Gailor. II has been said and pub
lished as coming from DR.. Gailor himself
that be would not refuse a second call, but
this he has denied, as will be seen by the
following interview with representative
of the Atlanta Journal at Chattanooga last
week:
There is one thing" sold Mr.. Gailor,
(which wish to speak of while il occurs
to me. That telegram which the Journal
printed from Nashville, saying that l
would not refuse second call TO the bish-
opric of Georgia, was without any founde-
Cion Whatever as Tar as can remember.
was never seen by newspaper man during
my stay in Nashville, unless it
was by a relative of mine con.
nected with the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. and he only said in that paper that my
replies were evaslve and without definite
expression. And l don't remember-for I
have been trying to think-of having said
anything at all about the matter. Certain
it Is that l said no such thing as was ac-
credited to me in that telegram"
WILL NOT SAY POSITIVELY.
"But do you deny the oontentsl Is it not
true that you would accept second call to
the diocese of Georgian
TWh bile would not like to say posi-
lively" he answered, al will say that /
am now engaged in trying to prevent the
use of my name before the approaching
convention. l have just been writing q
letter upon that subject to friend of mine
in the diocese
II would like to accept such call, con-
cluded DIR. Gailor, "but do so dislike to
leave Sewauee do wish that could be
at Sewanee and In Georgia at the same
time. But then l can't. and the difficult
