Depew, Vol. 3 In a long political and professional life, Senator Depew has been a leading figure, and, from the time of his graduation, he has probably been brought into contact with more public charac ters than any other man of his generation. For nineteen years he has been the recipient of the exceedingly rare compliment of an annual banquet given upon his birthday by his personal and political friends. In these he has seized the opportunity not only of relating personal anecdotes of the famous men into whose society he has been thrown, but of reviewing the progress of the country and the radical changes in business methods during his lifetime, of combating many of the prevalent errors of his age and instilling into his countrymen what he believes to be sound principles of finance. Mr. Depew is a thorough optimist. For him every dark cloud has its silver lining, every commercial panic a promise of better times to come, and every foreign complication the ultimate victory of his own country in the race for glory and prosperity. There have been statesmen who have made a deeper impress upon public life. But none who have left his auditors a more pleasurable memory of his abilities or of the kindly nature which has contributed so much to his popularity.
