Old Muster Days in Arson.

How much has been said, now and
then, of the old muster days in the
town of Arson, away back in the early
thirties, in the palmy days of the old
State militia. Now that those days and
practices are past and nearly every one
who figured in those stirring times are
gone, it is not strange that the present
generation takes something of an in
terest in the me-honored customs of
their grandfathers, and reviews oc-
casionally the scenes and incidents Of
those early times.
The muster was an annual gathering
and always had its accompanments of
famous ginger bread, wrestling matches,
dancing floors. and bowling alleys. The
annual training day was the second
Tuesday in May, followed by the muster
early in September. Every town in the
state had its company, composed of 30
bodied men from the ages of Is to
a.. This military duty was compulsory,
as all males not exempt by law were re-
quired to train or pay fine.
Every company had its commissary,
whose duty was to look after the drink,
and rum, brandy, and gin were freely
supplied when any on all were dry.
Company ~ of Arson wore green
baize and white pants, and among its
captains were, George c. Getchell,
Marcellns steward, and Jonas Bryant,
old residents of Arson,
The cavalry OF Ans0h. was composed
of 20 horsemen made up from Arson,
Embden, New Portland, Starks, Con
cord, and other towns. Among its
officers were the representative men of
our village, of whom nearly every one
has passed away,
These musters were held sometimes
on the interyale of Maj. Joseph Moore,
now owned by Cyrus =. Moore and in
the large field south of the trotting park
and in varons other places in town.
Many are the incidents related of
those good old times by the boys who
trained in the musters. On one Occa-
sion the captain of the artillery rode his
horse down the steep hill back of the
old Nesbit house and babe his men on
foot, to follow. Our people will all rec
ognize this descent, and the young men
of today would consider such an act a
marvellous feat, but in those days they
rode horses.
At these musters the old and young
by thousands assembled for miles
around and made the occasion the great
holiday of all the year.
Sixty long years have passed since
those once familiar scenes and now only
here and there one remains who helped
make local history during the decade
from 1880 to 1S40.-Union Advocate.

The n onineeS.

The Republicans Of Somerset held a
notable convention, Tuesday last, made
lp of active, working, energetic mem
bers of the party and placed a good,
strong ticket for County officers in the
field, that will commend itself to the
candid voters of Somerset County.
The nominees are well known to
Somerset people, are successful men OF
affairs, and of standing in the towns in
which they reside. Some of them have
bad experience in the offices to which
they are nominated and others, while
new men to these offices, are men of ex.
Prieace in public affairs, OF recognized
business capacity, and will serve well in
the Offices to which they are practically
sure of election.
Republicans should begin early to or
ganze to get out their vote in full, in
order that the usual majority may not
only be maintained, but, if possible, in
creased, and Somerset County be main
lIDed among the foremost Republican
Counties in Maine.

ReSolred, That the fundamental prin-
ciples of free, popular government

! liberty, were never more urgent than
now
ReSoired, We demand the rigid en-
forcement of all laws made to prevent
and control trusts and monopolies
which are designed by capital to secure
more than their just share of the Joint
products of capital and labor.
! "UheredS questions of coinage and
the finance are matters prescribed by
the Constitution for National legislt-
ton, and we recognize that it is the
proper function of the Democratic
! National Convention to assemble at
Chicago at an early date to prescribe
the policy of the party on such
questions, as well as all other national
issues.
"Therefore, be it resolved that all
such questions are properly referred for
determination to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, and we pledge our
support to the policy of the party which
may be so enunciated.
ReSolred, That while we believe in
high license or local option regarding
the sale of spurious liquors that while
the present prohibitory law remains on
our Statute books we believe in the
strict and rigid enforcement of the
same.
ReSoired, That free common schools
are the nursery of good government and
the Democratic party favors every
means of increasing intelligence. Free
dom of education being the necessity
for the development of intelligence must
not be inteiered with on any pretex
whatever.

Democrats of Somerset were treated
to an allopathic dose of free silver doe
time by Mayor Hanson of Belfast, yes
lefday, and what few were present
seemed to like it. The shadow of the
chicago Convention is apparent even in
he most eastern State of the Union, and
Democrats of Somerset in their resolu-
lions printed elsewhere, say they will
nave nothing to say on the money ques-
lon, until they hear from that conven-
uon They all know well enough that
'le fhieago Convention will declare for
ice coinage of silver-which really
means compulsory coinage of silver-on

crates of Somerset have in convention,
virtually declared for the money heresy

The convention was lively one, there
being several quite warm contests but
nominations were made unanimous ON
behalf of the defeated candidates, re-
spectively, and Republicans of Somerset
will enter upon the work of the cam
paign unitedly and vigorously.
The mass meeting in the afternoon in
Coburn Hall, was attended by large
audience, filling the hall, floor and
galleries. Or. \. +. Farnham of Fair
field, presided and made brief remarks
Hon Seth l.. Milliken, the able and
popular Representative in Congress from
this district, made candid speech of
about 45 minutes, which received the
close and appreeatiye attention of the
audience. We have comprehensive
abstract of this admirable speech but
are obliged to defer its publication until
our next issue. 1t is, however. good
enough to keep and our readers will ap-
preciate it next week.
Mr.. Milliken was followed by Forest
Goodwin, Esq, who made telling
speech of which we will print a brief
resume next week.
The meeting was good one, the at
tendance large, and, but for the fact
that the proceedings of the convention
extended until more than half hour
after the hour appointed for the mass
meeting it would have been much
larger. As it was, many of the delegates
without opportunity to get dinner, re-
manned throughout the afternoon meet
