In reply President Willard said he re-
gretted greatly that he and his party had
disappointed the people of Livingston by
not reaching here at the time announced.
Two of the four trains that bore the party
had been detained by an accident and the
two in advance had awaited them at
Greycliff. He disliked at all times to
disappoint people, especially when they
had, as in this case, made extensive pre-
parations for the reception. Ee hoped,
however, that they would be here in the
morning long enough to meet the people
and see the decorations. Ever since they
had left ST. Paul it had been his pleasant
but laborious duty to make speeches to
the people along the route. This had ex-
hausted him to q great extent and it was
necessary for him to reserve his remaining
strength to make the opening speech at
the celebration On Saturday, and the
people of Livingston must excuse him
from any extended remarks in the night
air. He appreciated the preparations
made for the party's reception most hearth
ly. He understood that Livingston had
made great progress during the past few
months, and that the Park branch had
contributed greatly to the towns pros
perity, and he was sure it would continue
to do So The town, he said, was most
adyantageously located and must continue
to prosper. He knew that its progress
during the past would astonish the foreign
gnests who accompanied him.
A cry was then raised for Hon. Carl
SchurZ. who was On board the train
but he could not be found That train
wss then moved back and in few
minutes the second train arrived bearing
among others Gen. U. S. Grant, and upon
the car, yellowstone which he occupied
the crowd made grand rush with yoci-
ferrous calls for his appearance. President
Curry and other members Of the Board OF
trade went on board the car and after q
little delay Mr.. Curry came forward ac-
companied by the veteran ex-President
and amid dcafening cheers. introduced
him with few appropriate remarks as
nearly as we can remember as follows:
Gen. Grant / now present to you the peo-
pie Of Livingston hundreds OF whom have
followed your standard through years of
war and are now enjoying the benefits of
the peace accomplished by your arms and
desire to hear once more the voice Of
their commander
Then came another round Of cheers at
the close OF which Gen. Grant spoke and
said that he had noticed in all his travels
through western America, every part of
which he hgl now visited except Arizona,
that the veteran soldier was always the
pioneer and was not surprised to find it
the same in Montana. The toiis of war
seemed to tit them to battle with and sub
due the wilderness. lie hoped they were
ali prospering in their new homes. He
found that this was i much better country
than he had expected to fnd. The clim-
ate was much miller than he had sEppos-
ed from tie latitude and altitude AID the
country was naturally beautiful region.
lie would meet them in the morning and
see if he could recognize among them
some of his veterans OF the days IS to 2.
years ago.
With Gen. Grants retirement to his car
the exercises closed. There were calls
for Hon. VIM. Everett but lie had retired
as had almost all the occupants of the
train. There were few more anvil ex-
plosions more hurrying to and fro as the
other trains arrived but no occurrence
worthy of note. Thetrains were sidetrack-
ed and will leave this morning for Helena
the first taking its departure about a.
III. i, was unfortunate that they arrived
50 late in the evening but notwithstanding
the informal reception passed off most
pleasantly and cred:tably. Dir. Curry as
President Of the Eoud Of Trade and rep
Of the town did himself and
Livingston all homer and be was ably sup
ported by Ill citizens.
