Movement for DR.. Satterlee.
lunch. and afterward discussed the proba-
bilitics Of an election. and it was confident
ly asserted by some that when the next
ballot was called DIR. Satterlee of New
York would be nominated by a very low
churchn.an, If such term is permissible,
and would be seconded by DR.. Perry, a high
churChman. in ringing address.
1t was sad that THIS would result in his
election. Others. however. heard of tbs
plan and set about to overcome any gen.
eral tendency on the part of the convention
to make a movement along such Ines.
1t was pointed out that DE-. Satterlee,
while nan of means and first-class
man, was a stranger to Washington and its
interests and that if a man was needed who
was not closely identified with any one of
the various schools of thought as MIR.
Hay very opportunely sad IN the conven-
ton last n,gnt, which exist in the new do
cese, that Or. Elliot would be the proper
person upon whom the various schools
might unite, because he bad always held
himself aloof from any of them, and would
be safe from any of their personal infiu-
ences in his direction of the diocese.
The movement In favor of DR.. Satterlee,
however seemed to grow, in spite OF these
representations.
DR.. Mackay-Smith said he was an excel
lent man. and would make a good bishop.
but that he could not vote for him, as he
was consistent in his belief that the laity
should have voice in the election Of the
bishop. and this could not be permitted
until the next convention, the settlement
of tine question should be postponed until
that time.
DT. Lowery said he would vote for DIR.
Satterlee when .he opportunity offered.
When the delegates from the lower coun-
ties of Maryland made inquiries as to the
probability Of Dr. 'Satterlee's course in
regard.-to those parishes. in case of his
election. they were assured that he would
be satisfactory in every respect.
Inquiry about the gentleman so suddenly

that while he had never served in any
other field than that of New York. he was
earnest, pairstaking man OF compre-

He is popular in his parlsh-Calvary-and
H. was a question with some of his friends
whether he would accept the bishopric If
elected to it. because of his devotion to
New York. which caused him to decline
the bishoprc of Nebraska, which was once
offered to him.
The ques ton whether DIR. Satteree would
accept if chosen was answered by those
working in his interest by decided aftir-
native. These gentlemen averred that DR..
Satterlee would not allow any personal in
clinations he might have to influence him to
refuse the bishopric of such diocese as
that of Washington, when he was called to
it by two-thirds of its ministers and was
favored by such large portion of the laity.
Up to the moment of reconvening, the in
terest in what the next hour would bring
forth increased. and when the convention
was again called to order, every one was
on the qui vive for developments.
Immediately after the recess Mr.. Aspin-
wall renamed DIR. Saterlee for bishop, and
seconded by DIR. Davenport.
DR.. Mackay Smith was called upon to
say something about DR.. Satterlee in order
to acquaint the delegates with DR.. Satter-
lees qualifications, but he said such a
course would open the way to eulogiums
on other candidates. and would not be
proper. DIR. Elliot thereupon directed the
tenth ballot to proceed.
