Great Falls, July 1.-THE Grafton of
the day was delivered at the opera
house this evening by Senator Mats of
Anaconda. Owing to a misunderstood
ing on the part Of the people, there was
not as large a crowd present as would
otherwise have been. but the place was
comfortably filled, n the audience was
an appreciative one. The orator was in
troduced by c.. A. Sweat, in a very
short speech. Senator Mats then
thanked the committee for the invita-
ton rendered to him and expressed his
pleasure in meeting a Great Falls audi
ence. He passed at once to an essay on
the meaning of the day and its general
relation to the form of government un-
der which the United States exists. He
followed this governments formation to
the present time, outlining each stage of
development n the effect pon the
country of each great event in it's his
tory. Then he pointed out the relation
between national principles and the pres
emit war and demonstrated that recent
events were almost f~oreordained
The speech was a most eloquent
one, carefully thought out and exquisite
in words, a speech which deserved pub
~lication in it's entirety and the careful
TedulnB OF every CITIZEN. Inc orator
has already won considerable renown
for eloquence; his speech of tonight
will give him a place among the care
full thinke of the day. The conclud-
ing words of the orator were typical of
the whole:
THE chivalry of American manhood
will not be witness to slaughter and
starvation, carnage and treachery.
They have pledged Wife, property and
honor to the Cubans' cause, and this
war will not end until every Spanish
soldier is driven from her shores. The
martial spirit of the Americans aroused
the valor of the American soldiers and
marines merits the applause of the
world. They have fought like veterans,
never flinching In the performance of
duty. From that morning in early May
when Admiral Dewey sailed into the
harbor of Manila and sank the Spanish
feet without the loss of a man: from
that mornig when Hobson sank the
Merrimac in the shadow of MORO Cas-
tie. American heroism has taken its
place foremost in the annals of naval
warfare"
