    A DEMOCRATIC
BOOMERANG.
Dastardly Attack Upon Colonel
Barnett Quickly Reacts.
SOLDIERS REFUTE CHARGES.
Officers and Men of the Fighting Tenth ar.d
Self Respecting Citizens Generally De
nounce a Cowardly Campaign of Charac
ter Assassination.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, Oct. 31. —One of the most
unjustifiable and dastardly attacks ever
made upon a public man has been
sprung by the Democratic state com
mittee against Lieutenant Colonel
James E. Barnett, the Republican nom
inee for state treasurer. The man
agers of the Democratic machine have
had agents at work for weeks upon a
scheme to question the soldierly con
duct of the gallant officer who returned
from the HUlippines in command of
the "Fighting Tenth" regiment, aftei
the death of the brave Colonel Haw
kins. Lieutenant Colonel Harnett, who
was Colonel Hawkins' chief supporter
in his regiment, and who was by him
directed to take command of the regi
ment when he was stricken with ill
ness, has in the closing days of an
exciting political canvass been charged
with cowardice on the field of battle.
In their desperation to score a point in
their losing fight the Democratic poll
ticans have over reached themselves,
and the attack upon Colonel Barnett
has proven a boomerang for the De
mocracy. It will bring him thousands
of votes he might not have otherwise
gotten. Many Democrats have declar
ed their supreme contempt for a leader
ship which would resort to such des
picable means to gain a point in a
political campaign.
Officers and men of the Tenth regi
ment have quickly refuted the slander
ous statements circulated about their
commander. Their declarations have
been published in the Harrisburg Tele
graph, Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
and other papers.
Following are a number of inter
views and extracts from signed state
ments from members of the Tenth
regiment published in these papers:
SAW HIM UNDER FIRE.
Orderly Charles Pastor, of Harris
burg, who was with the Tenth regi
ment from the time it left Mt. Gretna
until it returned fr«ru the
among other things says:
"1 have seen these villainous and
outrageous charges against Lieutenant
Colonel Barnett. They are false in
every respect. No man in the regi
ment had a better opportunity of ob
serving Colonel Barnett .than I, be
cause 1 was Colonel Hawkins' orderly
and saw the colonel and lieutenant
colonel every day we were in service.
These charges of cowardice against
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett wera
sprung for political effect —to defeat
him for state treasurer —but they are
false, outrageously and maliciously
false. It is a shame to attack the char
acter of so good and true a soldier—a
commander who, so far as I know,
was beloved and trusted by every man
under him."
"Did you ever see Colonel Barnett
hiding behind embankments, trees,
rocks or fences, or in any way show
signs of cowaidice while the regiment
was in action or neglect his duty in
any particular manner?" he was asked.
"No, never," replied Orderly Pas; or.
very emphatically. "I was appointed
orderly by Colonel Hawkins about two
months after we arrived in the Phil
ippines, and served as such until the
regiment was mustered out of ser
vice. 1 v. aa at Colonel Ha A kins' head
quarters all the time, and 'tonsequently
sav.' both office: s eve-y day."
'Do you know •>, hethe. there was
any friction or ill feeling existing be
tween Colonel Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel Barnett?" asked the reporter.
"No, there wad none," was the reply.
"On the contrary," he continued, "the
best of friendship and fellowship ex
isted between Colonel Hawkins and
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. The two
officers spent much of their time in
each other's company and a bond of
brotherly love existed that could not
be severed. Why, when Colonel Haw
kins died. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett
•wad completely unnerved and he broke
down and wept like a child.
"At the battle of Guiguinto bridge,
at which place these lying reports say
that Colonel Barnett showed the white
feather by hiding behind a rice dyke,
I carried dispatches from Colonel Haw
kins to Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. I
saw Colonel Barnett in the thickest of
tfcft fight. He was »; ;n- r:* • rt-or to
greater activity and in his c .deavor
to steady his men he exposed himself
to a perfect hail of Filipino bullets.
During the engagements at De La
Lome church, Marialo and Malolos I
also carried dispatches from Colonel
Hawkins to Lieutenant Colonel Bar
nett, and in each and every one ot
these battles I found Lieutenant Colo
nel Barnett with his battalion. In
every engagement I saw him where the
bullets flew the thickest, and he looked
e\ery inch the bravo soldier he is.
"I can't understand why people
should slander such a man as Colonel
Barnett. A braver soldier never wore
Uncle Sam's uniform, and a kinder and
more tender hearted man never breath
ed the breath of life. Never once did
he refuse to grant a reasonable request
to the men under him, and he perform
ed many little acts of kindness that
only a soldier and gentleman is ca
pable of. It pains rr>e to think that
members of the 'Fighting Tenth'
would so far forget themselves as to
slander their superior officer. I can't
believe the reports are true. They are
wilful, malicious and outrageous lies!"
ACCUSATIONS PREPOSTEROUS.
Private Frank Wall, of Company A,
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, oays:
"I am greatly surprised and morti
fied to see the slanderod's midnight at
tacks—Aguinaldo style—upon the mili
tary record and character of Lieuten
ant Colonel Barnett. The accusations
*re preposterous and the time or tne."
promulgation so clearly indicative oi
their baseness of purpose that I would
deem them entirely unworthy of no
tice were it not for the fact that the
fair name of our regiment is thus being
held up to the public scorn of our
country at large as the author of sucti
silly and scandalous charges against
one of the ablest and best officers of
our army, whose patriotism and
bravery was clearly established on tho
battle fields of Luzon, and whose hon
est and faithful service to our country
as a volunteer soldier and officer ren
ders him a worthy candidate for public
office at the hands of his comrades anii
our citizens.
"Colonel Barnett's loyalty to his
country, to his commander while liv
ing and to his memory after death
shows him to be above the plane ot
character assassins and worthy of the
highest respect and confidence of our
good citizen without question, and I be
lieve that such will be their verdict on
the seventh day of next month at the
polls."
BARNETT UNDER FIRE.
Sergeant William G. Vance, who
served in the Tenth regiment, Com
pany D, and is now at Camp Meade,
preparing to return to the Philippines
with another regiment, says:
"I will tell you what I saw and
heard at the battle of De La Lome
church concerning Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett, to which I will make affidavit
if necessary. The Tenth regiment had
moved fully 100 yards toward the ridge
upon which the church is situated.
There was an incline of space about
200 yards betweon the position occu
pied by our regiment and the South
Dakota boys. We were in the advance
and our position was so exposed thai
we were subjected to a most raking
fire from the Filipinos. It was so se
vere that Colonel Hawkins ordered
us to lie down for protection, and we
were held in this position for over half
an hour. During the time we lay there
we heard Lieutenant Colonel Barnett
firing at the Filipinos. He had a pe
culiar rapid firing gun, the sound of
which was exactly similar to that of
a Mauser rifle, and could be easiiy dis
tinguished from the others. Colonel
Barnett kept up a steady and constant
fire, and the boys made frequent com
ments upon his abilities as a sharp
shooter. 1 was lying beside Captain
Hawkins, son of our colonel, who turn
ed over and remarked to me, 'Bar
nett is giving them hell.' At the bat
tle of Guiguinto I saw Lieutenant Colo
nel Barnett during the whole of the
engagement, and he was always where
the Filipinos' bullets fell the thickest.
He inspired the men by his courage,
and bis actions were such that showed
the kind of stuff he is made of. lie
didn't flinch once, and on several oc
casions I saw him in advance of hU
men, leading them cn to victory. No
man that saw him in that battle could
help but admire him for his bravery
and his daring. In this battle anil at
Malolos he commanded the Second bat
talion. At Malolos, as at the battle oi
Guiguinto, he was under fire all day.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett gave his
commands coolly, and the men under
had every confidence in him."
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
First Lieutenant R. 1,. Tidball says:
"I have known Colonel Barnett for a
number of years and can say that all
his actions in the Philippines were, . .
far as I knew and saw, just as sol
dierly and brave as any. I was with
him on several occasions while he was
in command of the province of Ct
vite, and I never had reason to think
that he was anything but a brave man.
1 am a Democrat, and I do not know
whether I will vote for Barnett or not,
but I am opposed to villifying him 112 ir
political effect, and brand the report
of his cowardice as a falsehood."
Second Lieutenant J. A Ewing says
"l have known Colonel Barnett for ten
jears, and want to say that I was with
hiin the day he was shot. I know Im
personal experience that Colonel Bar
nett did his whole duty, whether .11
barracks or in the presence of the
enemy; that his service was noble and
faithful, and this is the most loyal
tribute that can be paid to any sol
dier."
Quartermaster Sergeant J. M. Geo
tays: "I have known Colonel Barnett
|ince belonging to the regiment, six
years, and from all 1 have seen of him
he has always conducted himself as a
soldier. He has done things that have
not altogether pleased the majority,
yet on a whole I think it was for the
benefit of the regiment. I have the
highest esteem for Colonel Barnett."
First Lieutenant G. L. Gordon says:
•'I have seen Colonel Barnett under
fire at different times, and never saw
anything in 'his actions indicating tho
least sign of cowardice."
Lieutenant Harhuis says:"l am not
familiar in full with the charges pre
ferred against Colonel Barnett, but.
In so far as his conduct as a brave
ioldier is placed In the balance, know
ing what I do, I am free to say that la
my opinion there is nothing in hih
•onriuct as such that would reflect dl*-
credlt upon him."
Corporal J. B. Edgar, of Company B,
says: "Having read the charges of
cowardice against Colonel Barnett, I
take pleasure in denouncing them as
false, if not malicious, as his bravery
and courage were never doubted by
any member of the regiment, so far as
I have ever heard, nor did I ever sea
any indication of cowardice on his
part."
Corporal C. >V. Brown, of Company
E, says: "If Colonel Barnett is a
coward, so am 1, and so is every man
in the regiment, but the Filipinos will
not care to face such cowards every
day. He never flinched while under
fire. I will face any man who charges
him with cowardice and defy him to
prove his statements."
Captains Crago and Watson, Captain
Hunter, Lieutenant Aiken, Major Neff
and many others have givea similar
testimony.
ANONYMOUS CHARGES.
These are but a few of the manj
testimonials for Colonel Barnett that
have come from members of his regi
ment since this last hour political at
tack was sprung upon him. A care
ful reading of the publications inspired
fcy the Democratic jtat« ecnunllt"#
and its allies will show that all of the
important statements affecting Colonel
Barnett are from "a member of the
Tenth regiment," or "private of Com-
Danv I," or "a coruoral in one of the
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1899.
companies, or some other person
whose name is not given. Here and
there use is made of two or three
names on unimportant matters, but
wherever Colonel Barnett is unduly ac
cused it is in some sort of an anony
mous, cowardly way. No newspaper
correspondent has dared to attach his
name to one of these stories.
CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.
Under the caption "Character As
sassins at Work" the Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette, the leading stalwart
Republican paper in western Penn
sylvania, says:
"Character assassins are at work in
Pennsylvania in a desperate eleventh
hour effort to promote the fortunes of
the Democratic party. The better ele
ment of that party, be it said to its
credit, has shown a disposition to
avoid mud slinging. But, unfortunate
ly for the party, it has as adherents
certain knaves and fools who cannot
be restrained from campaign methods
that are beneath the contempt of hon
est men. The fact that the leaders
of the party are not attempting to
check these thieves and liars—thieves
that seek to rob an honest man and a
gallant soldier of a well won reputa
tion; liars who deal in cowardly in
uendo, without the shadow of an ex
cuse for their brazen falsehoods
shows that they are desperately hard
up for campaign ammunition.
"The object of the cowardly assault
is Lieutenant Colonel James E. Bar
rett, candidate for state treasurer.
The attack upon him is not made bv
military men, but by thestay-at-homes,
the copperheads, the sympathizers with
rebellion. Not a word of testimony
that is worthy of credence have they
brought forward from military men as
a basis of their charges. Not a flaw
exists in Colonel Barnett's military
record as known to his superiors, lie
served many years in the National
Guard, and rose step by step in rank
until he was second in command in
his regiment. When the war broke out
he volunteered with the rest and did
his duty with them. He showed his
patriotism, braved the perils of Luzon
swamps and Philippine fevers, Spanish
and rebel bullets, while the men who
now scoff at his courage sulked at
home and from the safe distance of
10,000 miles invented their theories of
how a soldier should fight.
"Until Colonel Barnett became a
candidate for office—yes, not even until
months after that event—not a word
was breathed, not a suspicion raised,
that he was not among the bravest of
the g.illant Tenth, and not a voice was
rei.-'ed in the section of the state where
he was born and reared reflecting
either on his business ability or his
social '-tending. In all the score: ol'
letters sent h no by the Tenth boys
in Manila and widely published in both
the city and rural press, not a hint
was dropped ot any dissatisfaction.
He v- s a hero until he consented to
run ior office. Then anonymous cow
ards arose, and in anonymous letters
to the newspapers began to tell what
anonymous members of the regiment
had to say of their lieutenant colonel.
"The copperheads of the '6os who
would not fight on either side, yet as
sumed to know how campaigns should
be fought and won, were of the same
class as these latter day criminal ig
noramuses, who stab in the dark.
Grant was assailed for cowardice;
every military hero of modern times
has had the same experience. Every
soldier candidate since the civil war
has been attacked by men who know
no more of military matters than they
know of common honesty and manly
principles. There are many low lived
scoundiels who are willing to destroy
a reputation for political gain. Rut
their tactics meet with no encourage
ment from honest men in either party,
and therefore do not succeed. The
expectation that they will be successful
in this case is an insult to the intcili
gence of Pennsylvania."

HE IS A REPUBLICAN
A Business Man Who Declined to
Follow the So-Called League.
NOT HELPING DEMOCRACY.
A Prominent Philadelphian and Member
ber of the Union League Repudiates At
tempts to Aid Bryanite Creasy.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 31. —The masks
have been torn from the men who.
while claiming to be Republicans, are
constantly working in the interest of
the Democracy.
J. G. Ramsdell, a well known Chest
nut street merchant, was a member of
the so-called Business Men's Republi
can League, but he is so no longer.
Mr. Ramsdell is a staunch Republic:;
and an ardent supporter of President
McKinley. He was one of the first
business men in this city to advocate
the nomination and election of Major
McKinley to the presidency. He has
been a member of the Union League
for years, and he became idenUCou
with the so-called Business Men's
League with the highest motives. It
was his desire to aid in the advance
ment of Republican principles and >.o
assist in keeping up the standard of
the party organization. There wa;
nothing selfish in his action; he was
not then, nor Is he today, an asplroit
for office. He has, however, found that
he made r mistake as to the character
and purposes of the so-called Busine
Men's Republican League. And thee
are many others who have made the
same discovery. It has developed into
a "one man machine," and its apparent
purpose seems to be to aid the enemies
of the Republican party and to assa'l
end malign every Republican candid'-' ■
for office who does not represent the
factional and personal interests for
which the so-called league stands.
A CASE OF FALSE PRETENSE.
Without daring to utter a word
against the personal character, or to
question the integrity of the present
Republican candidate for state treasur
er, Lieutenant Colonel James E. Bar
nett, this body recently launched into
a fulsome eulogy of W. T. Creasy, the
Democratic candidate for state treasur
er, who, it is notorious, has been a
rampant Bryanite and a blatant advo
c:.te of the Chicago platform. This so
called league has been flooding the
state with literature in the interest of
Creasy, and its paid agents have been
Industriously at work seeking to dis
credit the Republican organization and
to crlve rid an»i encouragement to the
Bryanite candidate of the Bryanite ma
chine of the Pennsylvania Democracy.
But the people of the state have bee »
thoroughly informed ?s to the charac
ter of the organization, and its fre
quent fulminations in the shape of
matter prepared for publication in
Democratic and assistant Democratic
newspapers are readily recognized and
promptly discounted.
Mr. Ramsdell, whose place of busi
ness is at 1111 Chestnut street, and who
Is one of the leading and influential cit
izens of Philadelphia, did not hesitate
to express his opinion of the so-called
Business Men's League and its meth
ods.
"I AM A REPUBLICAN."
"I am a Republican," said Mr. Rams
dell, in commenting upon the matter,
"and I joined what is called the Busi
ness Men's Republican League with a
view of advancing the came of Repub
licanism. I had no idea of becoming
identified with an annex of the Demo
cratic machine of Pennsylvania, nor
did I suppose that I would be associated
with men who would subordinate the
welfare of the Republican party to sel
fish interests or the advancement >f
the ambitions of any one man. The
idea of an organization supposed to be
composed of Republicans and business
men aiding in a canvass to make an
outspoken advocate of Bryan and t ie
Chicago platform, Mr. Creasy, the cus
todian of the state funds of Republi
can Pennsylvania seems almost too ab
surd to be considered for a moment.
The entire course of this organization
has been inconsistent and ridiculoun.
I cannot imagine that it has more than
a skeleton membership. I made an ef
fort to procure a list of the members.
There seemed to be great mystery
about the personnel of the organiza
tion. When I was told that I could
not have the list I immediately re
quested that my name be stricken from
their rolls, as I informed them that I
did not care to belong to any organiza
tion in which I could not know who
my associates or fellow members were.
That ended my connection with the
Business Men's Republican League. I
do not see how any Republican can
belong to it consistently.
HOW REAL BUSINESS MEN FEEL.
"I have made it my business to in
quire among my business friends and
acquaintances," continued Mr. Rams
dell, "as to their views on the present
political situation, and the unanimous
opinion prevails that the candidates oil
the Republican ticket will be elected
by handsome majorities at the coming
election.' The nomination of Lieuten
ant Colonel Barnett, of the Fighting
Tenth regiment, for state treasurer was
a tribute to the brave Pennsylvania
boys who went to the far off Philip
pines to fight for their country's flag.
The manly character and splendid at
tainments of Lieutenant Colonel Bar
i.ett, his admitted ability and undoubt
ed integrity are generally recognized,
and attempts of the Democracy or their
allies to detract from the laurels he has
won will be indignantly resented by
the people at the polls. The other can
didates on the Republican state ticket,
Messrs. Brown and Mitchell, are men
of sterling worth and, with the candi
date for state treasurer, make an ex
ceptionally strop* ticket, one which
every Republican in Pennsylvania
(should be proud to support."
