Depew presided at the regular monthly meeting of the New York Association of the Yale Alumni, at Deimonico’s, aad made an impromptu speech upon the south, touching upon some of the things he had seen In during his recent trip to Florida. discussing the race problem he said education and accumulation would solve it, as it would remedy the evils of New York city’s bad govern¬ ment. There ere in New York, he thought, 100,000 persona as ignorant and illiterate as any negroes in the south. He heard more about Hherman's march to the sea and the Battle of Lookout Mountain during his trip than anything else- Sherman's march, he believed, will live longer in the memories of the people of the south than any other ac¬ complishment of the civil war. In relation to the negro question, Mr. Depew “The said: is badly treated in the negro not south so far as his physi rel&tion to the community in whioh he lives is con- cemed. it he leaves politics alone he is treated probably better than he is here, because ho has opportunities in the south which dest things he bps that not happen here. Gns of the visits sad¬ to me are of educated negroes to my office, who come to me complaining that there is nothing for an educated negro to do in New York. There ie s large section in the south who say, ‘solve the race prob¬ lem by picking the whole islands population the up and carry them to the of sea, to Central America, to Africa.’ But the more intelligent southern people— the ones not moved by theories or by any speculation, the problem but who are facing of the de¬ velopment of their Eight-tenths state—say the of the ne¬ groes must stay. community say, 'We cannot get along without them,’ and then the question comes which nine-tendis don’t know how to solve; ‘how io get along with them.’ The two forces which seem to be which working working—for - and they • are the only two are any solution of the question, are education and the ac¬ quisition of property.
