After dinner President Hall ealled the company to order, and introduced Rev. E. W. Virgin of South Framingham as the first speaker. Mr. Virgin put consid- erable Methodist fire into his speech, set- ting the paee for those who followed. and he was heartily applauded. He spoke reminiscently, having been on the battlefield himself, and made loyalty to the flag his watchword. He paid a trib- ute to Comrade Geo. A. Reed, saying of him that, "A kinder heart doesn't live."
Comrade Reed-ex-president of the sociation-was next called upon. He had stood shoulder to shoulder with thex boys, he said. We wert boys then, and we are now. There is nothing else like the grip of the comrade's hand. Some of the boys have not prospered ju life, but we like to meet thewi and checr and eucour- age them on. We were promised great things when we went to the front, but the performance is not always as prompt. I've been three years on the board of se- lectmen of this town and I've stood up many a time for the soldiers. One mem- ber would say "Why, he drinks." I said. never mind; he risked his life in the dark days. We want to hang togeth- er as soldiers, throwing politics aside. I stood up in the legislature for the soldier. and I always will. I have never regret- ted joining the G. A. R., which I did at] the request of George Patch.
Postmaster Capt. E. F. Phinney of South Framingham, said it seemed like a; dream to look back to war times. He was in the old Third at Fortress Munroe." This 26th is an offspring of the old 6th,¿ which first went through Baltimore withd Butler. Every comrade is my comrade 1 and the ties which bind us together are stronger than those of any other society { As au humble representative of the gov- ernment I can say what is perfectly evi-s dent to all, that the present administra- tion is doing and has done everything .. possible for the old soldier, though there) are many yet who have not got their rights.
The president-elect of the association- Lieut. Starkweather-thanked the boys for the honor conferred on him, aud begged to be exeused from a lengthy speech.
Col. Thos. W. Porter of the 14th Maine was received with three cheers. Maj. Wis- well of South Framingham was the major of his regiment. Col. Porter said he had been thinking of the events in the valley. On the 19th of September, '64, we had an interesting fight in which we were victori- ous, and one month after, October 19, just twenty-seven years ago today, was a day we'll never forget. The enemy charged our piekets and surprised us, and when night elosed down one third of our men were killed, wounded, or prison- ers. I hope justice will be meted out to the soldiers. Some have pensions who never left this state, while others who served four years have none yet. Some say "If you've lived this long after the war, you dont need a pension." Men should be pensioned by a general law based upon their service. Promises are easy when danger is nigli, but are easly forgotteu afterwards.
Capt. Canfy of Attleboro trotted out a story that made the boys roar, and testi- fied to his pleasure at meeting the boys every year.
Gen. J. W. Kimball of Fitchburg felt he was in the company of old friends. He ca 3 near being a member of the 26th.
His regiment went through Baltimore three months after the old Uth, Ifis com- mand was beside the 20th in the stirring scenes at Leesburg, Ball's Bluff, Harper s Ferry, etc. He read a letter from Chap- lain Chas. Babbit, and a tribute trom Gen. J. W. Phelps to the 26th, and closed by reading some appropriate verses which had been dedicated to Gen. John A. Logan.
Drummer boy John Balcom of Ashland next spoke, and he read a letter from a southern officer in reference to two wounded Union officers.
Comrade Luke Smith, aged 79, whose father was in the Revolution, and him- self a member of the 26th, said a word, and was warmly received by the boys.
Secretary Upham was grected with af- fectiou by his courades, and he read let- ters from absent comrades : Capt. Cook of North Brookfield ; Capt. Keyser; Ser- geant C. W. Rieker, now in Texas; con- rade Cushing of Trenton, N. J .; Watt O. Davis, John A. Riley, and one from their old commander, Col. Jones, now Lieut. Gov. of New York. Gov. Jones spoke of a recent surgical operation upon his eye, which compelled his seclusion for some time, and a vote of sympathy for him was passed and ordered forwarded.
--
A Lowell comrade spoke of his pleasure at being present, and thought these re- unions a glorious privilege.
Lieut. C. P. Blodgett of Co. E. spoke briefly. He was introduced as oue whom all loved.
Comrade Seaver of Co. E. who went from Woodville with a little band of twenty five or thirty, spoke reminis- ceutly. This closed the speechmaking, and after listening reverently to the ben- edietion pronounced by Rev. E. S. Vir- gin, the comrades parted with mauy handshakes to meet next year in Boston.
