WHY HE DID NOT CALL.
President Harrison Thought the
Governor should Have Called
Richmond, Va. october 80

Richmond Va, October 30 1899.
TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
In your leading editorial Of Sunday
you comment as follows in regard to
President Harrisons visit to Richmond
soon cfter his Inauguration: Mr.. Har-
rison's course on that occasion was IN
comprehensive
Permit me to give the exp anauon made
TO me by President HARRISON himself du-
ring q call at the Whiti House about
week after the visit. The President in
troduced the subject, saying: Colonel,
L have heard that the Richmond people
are disploased over my failure to visit
them during my recent brief stop in the
James river. near the city replied:
"Mr. President, the people Of Richmond
seem to think you sighted them upon
that occasion" The President promptly
answered Not at all " and, continuing,
said: II intended TO visit Richmond,
and would have done so but for the fact
that the committee from the city that
called upon me aboard the boat served
notice that the Governor and his STAFF,
in full uniform, were awaiting at the
Governors Mansion for me to call upon
him
This" said the President, was in the
nature of a surprise to me, and after
consulting a few friends II was decided
could not, under these circumstances,
with due observance OF the propreties,
make the proposed visit TO Richmond.-
That question OF official etiquette"
further remarked the President, was
Settled during Wasmngton's term, when
it was decided that it was the duty of
the Governor OF Virginia, knowing of
the Presidents presence, to make the
call upon him"
Senator Hitchcock, who heard this con-
versation between the President and my
self, remarked that the President was
right, and that The Governor of his State.
when he was in the same locality where
the President was a visitor, always called
upon the President
That evening l met our Senator Daniel
at the Metropolitan Hotel, in Washing
ton, and after repeating 10 him substan-
tally the same statement l have made
herein, the Senator said President Har-
rison was right. and that the Governor
should have called upon the President.
| have written the above as q simple
act OF justice to President Harrison. and
feel sure that the Dispatch will give the
communication a conspicuous place in its
columns. Your truly,

WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT.

The welcome Of friends to friends
awaits the President and his Cabinet, and
the ladies Of their party, upon their visit
TO Virginia to-day. Our people will he
delighted to see them. and will withhold
no effort possible to make their stay
agreeable.
These gentlemen have shown = praise
worthy spirit in consenting to come 10
Richmond to be present at the launching
OF the Shubrick. when they might have
pleaded overwhelming pressure Of public
business. consequent upon the approach
NJ an important session Of Congress. They
have honored our State and city above
others that sought their presence for
fetes and celebrations. and we cannot but
attribute this to a tender feeling for the
Ole Dominion, and a wish to encourage us
in that promising new industry Of Rich
mond's which gives occasion for our holt
day.
1t is hardly likely that the Presidents
visit will be the means Of changing us to
his political views. or that We shall be
able to convert him to ours; nevertheless.
we feel sure there is going to be good fel-
lowship between us.
The only ching We do not like about the
Presidents acceptance Of Rlchmond's in
vitation is that his stay is going to be 50
short. lie will hardly have time 10 judge
whether the reports that have reached
him concerning the business activity here
are true or not, and he Will have leisure
but for glimpse at the historic localities
Of our city. SO, we can only hope that
he will enjoy this holiday with us, and
Will have the desire to come again when
~ can stay longer.

DREYFUs AGAIN.

Though we do not I'm this country hear
much Of the Dreyfus case Just at pres

IL ore quarter II IS asserted that Drey-
fus has been approached on the subject
of ronouncing all further efforts at reha-
bilitation, provided the government
agrees to grant him the privilege of civil
citizenship. Further, IL is intmated that
this compromise may be reached, and
carry with It an abandonment Of the
lola trial, and the removal from the
courts Of the libel action instituted by
the widow OF the forser Henry against
Joseph Reinach, Of lie Steele.
But, on the other hand, It is declared
that here the wish is father TO the
thought, and that Droyfus. who is rapid

repeatedly said that he viii not be salts

through legal procedure. And unless We
