Mr. Davis penned the following letter:
DEAR SIR Your request on behalf Of a
Boston Journal for me 70 prepare criti-

be complied with for the following reasons:
First, Gen. Grant is dying; second, though

Lane Introduced Mr.. Henry W. Grady. Of
Georgia, whose subject was "The Race
Problem of the South.n MIR. Grady was re-
ceived with enthusiasm and spoke for over
an hoar with great force and eloquence.
When in his peroration he described the
affection Of the intelligent southern whites
for the colored members OF their homes,
their colored nurses and house servants,
illustrating the same by pathetic scenes on
the battlefield and at the graveside, there
were many moist eyes IN the room He said
time alone could tell how the problem
would be solved. He as a representative Of
the south, asked Of his hearers patience,
confidence and sympathy. In conclusion he
said; "Give us our sons as hostages, that
they may help TO swell the Anglo-Saxon
current until II can carry without danger
this black infusion. Give us loyalty TO the
republic, for there Is sectionalism ia loyalty
as in estrangement Give us the broad and
perfect loyalty that loves and trusts Georgia
alike with Massachusetts knows no
south, no north, no east, no west, but en-
dears with equal and patriotic love every
foot Of our soil, every state Of our union.
Carnegie Compliments Cleveland.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie was then introduced
Prior TO entering upon the discussion Of his
topic hepaid high compliment 60 Mr.. Cleve-
land as one whom history would declare had
tried 20 do his duty, and who possessed the
respect of the entire country, regardless Of
party. He said Mr.. Cleveland had demon
strated one answer to a question Of his own,
asking What TO do with ex-presidents He
had shown that one good thing to do with
them was to invite them to all banquets
lie Would Shut Out All Grumblers.
Mr.. Carnegie then proceeded to a brief
exposition OF the wonderful progress made
by this country during the past 800 years in
commerce, manufacturing and mining, de
claring that in the last two industries she
now leads the world. He took occasion TO
say that he did not share the fears of some
that the republic was surrounded by any
serious dangers. He believed nothing could
prevent her from achieving her destiny
He was not a erumbler, and il he had
charge of the gates Of paradise he would
shut all grumblors out Of heaven.
Mr.. Carnegie was followed by Hon. w
l. Putnam, late Democratic candidate for
governor Of Maine, who spoke briefly upon
the merchant marine and the fisheries, em-
phasizing his well known views upon those
subjects.

that it limited the discretion of those charged
