Lieutenant Blaine Aiken, of the
"Fighting Tenth," which so nobly rep

pines and of which Lieutenant Colonel
Bainctt was commander after the pro
motion of the lamented Brigadier Gen
eral Hawkins.
Colonel Barnett did not arrhe heio
until 5.20 p. m., but his associates came
In the early afternoon and made a
short lslt to Carbondale.
Programme Changed.
OWING to Colonel Barnctt's ill
ness the local programme hail
to undergo change In several
pirtlculais It w.tj thought Col
onel Harnett might join his party
In AVIIkeH-Barre, during the morn
ing, so the latter waited thero un
til the iirst afternoon train. Instead of
coming at 10 o'clock in thi morning a
previously arranged. When he did not
come, the others of thu party came on
hcie after telegraphing tho local com
mittee that they would continue on to
Carbondale without stopping over.
When tho party nrrlvod on tho 2:13
tiain It was met by a laige delegation
of prominent Republicans representing,
it might be said, every wing und fac
tion In state and local politics. Among
them wero Oon;jressma:i William
Council, Senator J C. Va.:ghan, Hon.
John It. Farr, speaker of tin- house of

D. Evan?, Trank E Dennl, Attorney
Louis Granier Attorney Henry Morton
and Julius Spaeth received them and
took them to the Anthracite hotel
where a brief reception wns held
Carriages woie In waiting for the
party when it returned to .scranton
All went to tho Jermyn and participat
ed In an Infounal reception to tho
visitors.
Colonel Bainett came direct from
Philadelphia, arriving at tho Delawaiv
nnd Hudson station at 5.20 p. m. Ho
was met by Deputy Attomoj General
Pleltz and Speaker Farr and taken to
the Jermyn where he, of eouise, be
came the central figure of the recep
tlon
It takes only a glance at Colonel Rai
j;ett to tell that ho Is far from being
u well man. His color Is almost pallid
nnd his eyes dull, while his movements
Indicate that It must be no small exer
cise of will power for him to face the
hardships of a stumping tour.
He is suffering from tho effects if
tho attack of typhoid malaria which
laid him up In the hospital at- Cavlte
last summer. His ph) glean ndvlsed
ngalnst his attempting to make the
tour the commltteo had mapped out
for him nnd the committee after learn
ing of his debilitated condition Insist
ed on cancelling his engagements alto
gether. Colonel Harnett, however,
would not hear to this and arter sat
isfying his physician that he would not
over-exert himself started out to fill
Huch of the engagements bh he felt ho
could without endangering his health.
The Scranton meeting is tho lirst ho
has attended since the one at Lebanon
Monday night which formally opened
his campaign.
A telegram was received from Phlla
deplhla yesterday morning, by Secre
tary Ettla, stating that Colonel Har
nett would In all probability Join tho
party for tho visit to Scianton. When
nothing further was heard from him,
it was taken for granted that ho would
. not como and but for the precaution of
Deputy Attorney General Floltz and
Speaker Farr, who figured that ho
might possibly tako the Hlack Dia
mond cxpresB from Philadelphia, he
would have come Into tho city undoi
the escort of a cabman.
The royal reception which Colonel
Harnett was accorded must have amply
rrald him for the effort which It cost
him to come here. At the hotel he was
wwtlnually surrounded with a large
throng eager to grasp his hand. It
was a throng impelled by a desire to
pxDrces by word and act its admiration
of the heroic son of our common
wealth, rather than to satisfy a curi
osity. Colonel Barnett received these
attentions with a modesty and grace
becoming a truly great big man. His
reception at the armory was one of the
most hearty every accotded a noted
visitor.
General Latta was kept busy all day
receiving old friends and comrades nnd
neaily eveiy member of the Tenth had
some Scranton friend . greet him at
one staue or other of his travels. In
spector of Rlllo Practice Reese Wat
kins and Captain S. S. Derman, of
Company A, P. V I., were aboard the
train bound for the rifle range when
the campalgneis were en route to Car
bondale, and renewed a number of ac
quaintances made In the mud and rain
of Gretna. Secretarj Ettla, who crowds
our own Fleltz for Adonis honots of
state political circles, had a gencial lun
of handshaking from the time he first
met the reception committee till ho le
tited Chailes W. Campbell, Washington
couespondent of the Philadelphia In
quit er and one of the foremost news
paper men of the country, accompanie
the party In the Interests of his stal
wart paper. Chailes C Darwoith, of
the Philadelphia iPress, Is also nlong.
Mr. Darwoith was formetly the Helle
fonte coriespondcnt of the Pi ess and
by his clever woik won a place on the
legular staff. The attitude of the Press
In the present campaign makes his as
signment n particularly Important one.
General Latta says that considering
the conditions, the meetings so far
conducted for the most part have been
largo and enthusiastic. In thk; after
noons the crowds have not been very
huge but evnry een!ng mooting has
had a good audience. At Wllkes
Ratre Thursday night there wero fully
2.000 persons present The Inability of
Colonel Harnett to give assurance of
his being present, tho fact that It la
a walk-oer for the whole ticket aid
tho absence of anythlntr more terrify
ing In the way of internecine strife
than the bolt of the Business Men's
League accounts for the lack of tho big
ciowds. torch light and that s rt of
thing with which Pennsylania spell
binders are wont to be greeted.
The party will go from here to Kns
ton leaing over the Lackawanna, at
10.05 this morning and stopping for a
few hours In the middle of the day at
strouusuure.
Fine Reception.
THE visitors were hlghtly pleased
with the reception acroided
them here The size and the
individual prominence of the reception
committees nnd the laige and enthus
iastic attendance nt the mass meeting
exceeded their expectations In every
respect. The fact that there was no
certainty of Colonel Harnett's coming,
and that It was quite generally believed
irom the dispatches received here can
cel nlng his physical condition that he
would not como left It to bo expected
that there would h u hllm crowd pres
ent at tho meeting, for, being tin oif-je-ar
nnd practically no fight on there
wus nothing to mouse the enthusiasm
that brings voters out to hear political
speeches.
The greeting given Colonel Hainett
nnd his friends ns they paraded behind
the Providence band from the Jermyn
to the Armory and upon their entranoj
to the Armory was of tne enthusiastic
nnd sincere kind that counts for some
thing and could not have failed to Im
press the visitors with a sense of being
heattlly welcomed In the one county
of tho state cairled by Swallow.
The meeting had a representative as
well as a large attendince. On the
stage with the campalgneis weie Con
gressman William Connoll, President

After a selection by tho band, County
Chairman A'osburg opened tho meeting
with one of his usual witty end pithy
speeches. He put everybody In good
humor at the outset with a well-put
reference to the only surviving expqn
ents of the principle of sixteen to one
AV. J, Urvan and Congressman Brig-
ham Roberts. He then Introduced tho
chairman of the evening, Judge II. M.
Edwards, as an honest man, a learned
Jurist nnd life-long, stalwart Republi
can, Judgo Edwards said he had hoped to
greet the candldato for the Supremo
bench, J. Hay Hrown, who was adver
tised to be present nnd this, coupled
with his desire to avail himself of the
honor accorded him of presiding over
a meeting that was to be addressed by
Colonel Hainett, caused him to suspend
the rule he had mado upon ascending
to the bench to refrain from active
participation In politics,
Thero being no dominie at hand to
open the meeting with prayer, Judge
Edwards did the next best thing from
a Cymru point of view nnd called for
a selection from a male glee party, the
Anthracite Glco club, of which William
Evans Is leader.
Major Klllan was the first of the
campaigners to speak. He Is a highly
educated young German, who came to
this country In 1881 nnd wont to the
west to seek his fortune. Ho wa-' cap
tain of a company In the Fitst -
braska State mllltla when the war
broke out and with his whoie command
volunteered for the United States f.or
vlce. He was under Lieutenant Col
onel Funston when the lat'or had
charge of tho western reeiults and
again was with him as a battalion csin
mander In tho lieutenant colonel's legl
ment during the fighting. One battal
ion of the Ncbraskans was added to
thu Tenth Pennsylvania to fill it out
to a three battalion command. In this
way Major Klllan, who In the Interim
won a promotion through elllclency in
the school of the soldier and meritori
ous conduct on the field, was given
command of the battalion He fought
side by side with the boys of the Tenth
and became n warm personal friend of
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett.
When Judge Edwards Introduced him
with a refctence to his work In the
Philippines, he was given a big ova
tion After disclaiming any Intention
of posing as a hero or playing for
plaudits, Major Klllan went on to say
Mr. Kilian's Speech.
ON my way homo from New
York. I had the pleasure of
stopping over in Pennsylva
nia, and on account of having
been associated with the olllcers of
the Tenth Pennsylvania and being
a close filend of Colonel Barnett. I
took it upon myself to accompany his
other friends on their campaigning tilp
to say a good word for a man whom
it Is a pleasure to speak for.
1 have been away from homo for a
year and a half and hae not Inter
ested myself In politics, having been
content to do what I consldeied ray
duty as a volunteer army officer. In
politics, however, I have been a Repub
lican since 1874, when I had occasion
tn concern myself In the affairs of
state.
Republicanism nlwavs means the
highest type of citizenship, energy,
progress and piospeilty. It fulfills Its
pledges, and In the latest Instance the
fulfillment wns beyond the expecta
tions of even the most enthusiastic par
tisan. The Democratic party, on tho
other hand, has ever held out false
promises and Incompatible theories,
which latter were most emphatically
refused nt the last presidential elec
tion. AVhen Giover Cleveland was first
elected the Demociats had as one of
their battle cries, "Thete Is too much
money held In the treasury It should
be made to cliculate." Fortunately,
theie was a Republican congress and,
save for the choosing of a Domociatlc
cabinet and a change in the postmas
ters throughout the country, nothing
was effected
Later on, Cleveland wns elected on
a tailff for levenue only platform. De
mocracy secuied full control of the ad
ministration. The Mills bill wns adopt
ed and other Demociatlc legislation
passed.
The first six months of 1S93, accord
ing to the Dun and Bradstieet leviews,
was a peilod of unprecedented pros
perity. For the balance of Cleveland's
term there was an almost complete
paralyzatlon of Industiy. and the sur
plus which had been such a butden to
the Demociats was not only removed,
but they could not raise enough money
to pay the running expenses of the
government.
The Republican party had paid th"
tunning expenses, lowered the war
debt, nearly paid off tho Interest debt
and accumulated a surplus. Grover
Cleveland had to borrow $B0O,000,OOO In
time of pence to pay our cut rent debts.
Today, under a Republican adminis
tration, after a war with Spain and
while an expensive war Is being carried
on to subdue a crowd of cut-throats
and thieves, the country Is as prosper
ous as It ever was. Factories are run
ning night and day, workmen ate re
ceiving good wages, farmers ate gel
ting good pi ices for their products, an 1
everybody Is happy and contented, w Ith
the exception of a few ofllce-seeklng
sllverltes and "ant!-oxpanIonlsts,"
"antl-lmperlallsts" or whatever you
want to call them Anything will do
Referring to Colonel Barnett. Malor
Klllan went on t" say;
Regardless of pal tisaiiRhlp or per
sonal friendship nnd viewing hlin from
nn entirely Impartial standpoint, I can
say you have In Colonel Hainett i
w oi thy candidate The opposition press
has nothing to say against him. Thev
admit him to be capable, honest and
w orthy.
Things being equal In those respects
Colonel Hainett Is the more deserving
of your consideration. AVhen the coun
try needed volunteers, he left his busi
ness, his home and everything that was
dear to him and risked his life for the
upholding of the flag. His opponent
stayed at home He did not want to
leave his home then. Let us not ask
him to leave It now. On Nov. 7 vote
to have him stay where ho chose to
stay when Colonel Harnett was trudg
ing through the fever-laden swamps of
Luzon.
Tho people of Pennsylvania will vote
for Colonel Barnett regardless of party
There are patriotic Democrats w ho w ill
forsake their party leaders and lallv
to the support of our candidate. It will
bo an honor to you to give him a big
majority for It is only a question of
majority. It will he nn honor to Col
onel Barnett, a token of appreciation
of the gallant work of tho heroic bos
of the Tenth, and a compliment to
eveiy volunteer soldier In the United
States. Do not vote as Agulnaldo
prays.
Colborn's Remarks.
"0
UR own Inmltnble A. J. Col
born, was Judge Edwards
manner of Introducing tho
second speaker, who nn tins chiiliman
said was n living denial of the adage
that "a prophet hath honor save in
his own country "
Mr. Colborn had counted upon being
among the "and othen-' but was at
no loss for a beflttlnrr iprcdi. HIh
impiomptu cffoit wns quite ns mas
terly as those of 'i studied haracter
with which ho Is wont to tlr up ciithus
lasm on tho hustlnii at thu btr or
about tile fest'tl boaid.
He paid a pietty compliment to Col-
onel Burnett who wan his nulg'rbur in j
tho western purt oi ( lie statu und,
whose cutoor he had wat-hod with
Interest from his Hint enmuica Intn
public life, "No more honest, up-1
right, conclcntous man has come Into
public life," said Mr. Colborn. "He Is
highly esteemed tts a friend nnd neigh
bor, ho Is a lawyer ot ability, a gen
tleman, nnd a scholar and his com-rndcs-ln-arms
have told us ho Is bravo
and loyal to his country As great
as was his record In times of war, I do
not admit It to be any greater than tho
record he has mado In peaceful pur
suits." Rcf erring to tho claim of the oppo
elton that thero are no national Is
sues nt present, Mr. Colbjrn pointedly
remarked: "Agulnaldo says to his
fellows that they should pray for tho
success of the great Democratic party.
There's nn Issue for you." This pro
voked laughter nnd npplau.se.
After following the growth of tho
Thirteen Btntes Into the vast country
over when the ling now iloats, Mr. Col
born went on to argue that destiny di
rects that "the tents of liberty rhall be
pitched farther south nnd farther
west," Instancing how tho growth of
the country has beer. In theao direc
tions and contending that tho possess
ing of Cuba nnd the island;- of the
Pacific was only another step In this
destiny directed growth.
The speaker referred In beautifully
sounded pctlods to tho fncUthnt Penn
sylvania wns first to answer tho presi
dent's call for troops In the dark days
of the Civil war and flist to offer the
services of the superb national guard
when tho country needed defenders In
1S9S. The people of Pennsylvania will
not be less patriotic now than they
wero then. ' It Is not a political ques
tion that conftonts us this yenr," said
Mr. Colborn with emphasis. "It Is a
question of loyalty to country nnd loy
alty to ling. Lot us send out the
message that Pennsylvania Is still title
to the flag of our fathers. Let us
say that tho onward march of liberty
shall not be stayed. Let nte say to
ou that nations without great duties
and great puriKises are the dead and
dving nations of the world. You must
In this campaign be a patriot or dis
loyal; you must support your piesl
dent and the national policy to which
the count! y Is rommited or you show
your disapproval."
Mr. Colboin then referred briefly to
the state and county candidates. They
are all worthy men and entitled to the
vote of every true Republican nnd good
citizen.
Warmly Greeted.
THE ANTHRACITE Glee club
sang "Pi also to the Soldiers"
nnd Lieutenant Colonel Bar
nett was then Introduced by Judge Ed
wards as "Soldier" Harnett. In lntio
duclng the cnndldnte for state treas
urer Judge Edwards teferred to the
fact that Colonel Harnett Is practi
cally an Invalid. He was given a
gieat ovntlon when he arose to his
feet. The colonel Is an easy, graceful
speaker who Instantly secured the at
tention of his audience and hold It to
the close of his lemarks. On ac
count of his condition he did not make
a very extended address.
In opening, he said he knew the audi
ence would overlook any Imperfections
In his speech, as ho was not In the
best of condition for public speaking.
He said that he would not discuss
political questions at length, as lie had
been absent from the country for n
car and had In a sense lost track of
the run of events. Ho felt that his
hearers knew more about existing
political conditions than he did. It was
his first visit to Scranton and ho paid
a tribute to tho evidence of pt ogress he
saw about him.
"AVe felt that we were not entirely
strangers when wo came to your city,
although It was our first visit." he con
tinued. "You have nn organisation
hete, the Thirteenth regiment, and we
are well acquainted with it. AVe of the
Tenth have been tring for years to
catch un with It. AVe hope to some
day and that will be a proud event in
our lives. It was no fault of your men
that they did not see active service.
They buined with anxiety to go to tho
fiont and they deserve .every ciedlt. It
requites more heioism to undergo hum
diuin conditions in camp life than
when you aie buoyed up by the excite
ment of service In the face of the
enemy.
"On the evo of tho most Important
presidential election In tho history of
the country the Demociats tell us this
Is nn off year and that no natlonnl Is
sues ate involved They toll us we nro
bad and coirupt and If we go over Into
their house they will make us as good
as they ate. AVhen you go home, sit
down nnd think of the Democratic
party as a reformer and the bitter
Irony of tho pioposal will force itself
upon j on.
"The history of the Republican party
proves that If refoimeis are necessary,
we aie capable of attending to that
ourselves AVhy should we not Intiust
lefoims to our friends lather than to
our enemies
"If the people decide that I shall bo
state tieiisuter 1 shall consider that
office a public trust for the whole peo
ple. Irrespective of party. It shall be
my duty and so filled as an account
ing ofllcer of the state to aid in the
prompt collection of taxes and claims,
tho prompt settlement of all accounts
against delinquents, whether Individ
uals companies or corporations with
out fear or favor, for the purpose of
maintaining the ciedlt of the state by
promptly paying under due warrants
of law all claims and appropriations
and especlnllv for the facilitating and
carrying on the woik of oui grand
free school system In every district,
no matter how small or t emote.
"Tho Republican paity has plnced
upon our statute books a law which
compels bankets to pay Interest on
dally balances nnd upon deposits of
state money. That lnteiest shall bo
promptly collected and applied under
the provisions of law to tho obliga
tions of the commonwealth.
"It Is not the reform of abuse tho
Democratic paity desires. It Is after
bigger game. It hopes In this cam
paign to disrupt and disintegrate the
party in this state, fo that next yenr
It can be placed In the uncertain col
umn. The shaking of Republicanism In
this citadel will hno an effect on tho
entire country.
"Tho result of the coming election
nui snow wnere ine .American nag nns
been raised It will stny and that tho
Republican paity In tho future, as In
tho past, will carry civilization to op
pressed people."
