Admiral Dewey has given the COM
mittee representing the city an explicit
promise to visit wheeling on February
a, next. There is no string attached
to IT. he says we may surely expect
him.
This is the pleasing sequel of the In
telllgencePs forethought in suggesting
the appropriateness of his presence on
the occasion of defeating the tablet
COMMUNICATING the siege Of Fort Hem
q. the site of the city Of wheeling. an
engagement made doubly historical and
sentimental from the fact that 1t sig
nali1ed the last clash OF arms between
the British and American soldiery in
the war for Independence.
The committee was fortunate in ind
ing Americas greatest admiral in a
peculiarly receptive mood. The happy
oonceit of experimenting the commit
tees request with modest but grace
full token OF the esteem of the citizens
Of wheeling. which embraced his
charming wife, was, no doubt as per-
susslvs as was Judge cranmer's elo-
quept appeal The admlrars prompt
and unqualified acceptance of the invi-
tatiOn shows tina, he was deeply soach-
ed by the simple tribute of confidence
in him when 1t appeared that the whole
country had suddenly raised its hand
against him in misconstruing and pre-
judging his action in the transfer of
the house presented to him by the
American PEOPLE.
The fact settled that Admiral Dew
ey,s presence in wheeling on February
e has passed the stage Of conjec-
ture. it behoOves every citizen to heart
ny join with those who have the fanc-
tion in charge in making his reception
on that occasion as cordial and spOn-
famous as was his acceptance.
The success of the AFFAIR is now in the
bands Of the people.
