In the evening at 730 o'clock a large
audience assembled i'll Carrabassett hall
to the camp fire and the following pro-
gram was carried out: Music by Collins
orchestra, Address of Welcome by A.
simmons, Esq, who spoke as follows:
Veterans OF the 4th Maine Battery
this 10 the second time have had the
honor.to extend to you The greetings OF
our people. This village 10 a part of the
republic. You are part of the Grand
Army of that republic. We greet you
as the defenders of our homes and our
liberty. We welcome you with hand
and heart, and feel bopored by your pres
ence.
The wars of history were mainly con
tests for the grandeur and supremacy OF
kings and the maintenance of royal
power; the Union troops fought that the
institutions of our fathers might continue
to exist and that nation dedicated to
liberty might live.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
unlike any other society or organization
in the world. Its members are united
in fraternal sympathy and brotherly
love by common dangers, by common
sufferings, by common defeats, and by
common victories. What are the signs
ceremonies, rituals, and parades of other
fraternities compared with the fiery
ord eals and the stern realities of those
terrible days through which you passed
You were initiated amid the rattle OF
musketry, the clash of sabers, the hiss OF
bullets, the screams of shells, and the
thunder of artillery.
On such an occasion as this, you
remember with renewed tenderness and
keener sorrow, the unreturned. Far
away in Southern fields they lie with
their bleached faces upturned to heaven.
Perchance the ORIOLES song floats light
above them, and nature at eve distills
her dewy tears upon their graves And
you remember those who did return
pitiful with their sickness and their
wounds, and who answer to their names
no more here. What man of you can
say he knows their columns do not
wheel around you now in airy escchelon3
When the last of your names is added
to their list, and when, on remem
brance day, the great day of all the year,
the flag is placed at your "low green
tent whose curtain never outward
swings there will be an eternal and un.
