In this city, says a special dispatch

LOTAL. DEMOCRATS DISGUSTED.
Many Democrats who are loyal to
their country's flag are holding their
heads in shame over the action of
their party leaders, local state and na
tional, w ho permit and encourage this,
their principal Democratic organ, to
pursue this course. Praise for Aguln
ulilo from this chief champion ot
Creasy, the Urjaniie candidate for
tstale treasurer, has done more to de
moralize and disgust the patriotic
Democrats of this section than any
thing that could have happened. Not
a few Democrats have publicly pro
claimed their intention to vote for
Lieutenant Colouel Harnett, the gal
lant commander of the Kightins
Tenth regiment, the Republican can
didate for state treasurer, as the most
effective way to showing their con
tempt for Democratic leadership which
will tolerate and countenance the
traitorous policy of leading supporters
vt Creasy.
But the mere question of 6tate po
litics is a minor consideration with the
people of this locality. Steps are be
inp taken to put a stop to the seditious
and damnable utterances of The Demo
crat. The federal government may be
asked to intervene for the credit and
honor of Pennsylvania. While this
commonwealth has already given a
larger quota of soUiers in the present
crisis than any other state in the
Union, it is not proposed that there
Ehall be any Improper obstacles placed
in the way of any citizen who may be
iuclined to enter the federal service in
response to the last call of the presi
dent for troops.
PRAISE TOR AGUINALDO.
One of the most objectionable publi
cations in the Johnstown Democrat ap
Iared in its issue of Sept. 26. 1SS9. In
its leading editorial of this date The
Democrat said:
The misrepresentations of Agul
saldo is monstrous. There is no
ground for the charge m.de
against him of greed and personal
; ambition. If greed had been his
i weakness Major McKinley long
. ago would hae ascertained the
price, as he ascertained the price
of the polygamous sultan of Sulu.

HELPING THE ENEMY.
Here is the article in full clipped
from The Daily Democrat, of Johns

3SS9:
Recruiting Officer Henry F. Zgle,
of Erie, Pa., a lieutenant of the
Forty-seventh infantrr. U. S. V
is now in Johnstown asking our
people to contribute their share of
flesh and blood for the Philippine
sacrifice.
If there are any young men In
this city who wish to hunt human
game in the tropics, with the
chance of having buzzards' feed
made of their own carcasses, they
are respectfully invited to enlist.
If there are any mothers who
would like to see their sons be
come man killers, with the chance
of losing their lives in the Orient.
Mr. Egle is ready to confer with
them.
If there is a father who has
bound tens faith in the rubber god
of the embalmed beef administra
tion and who would like to see
his brave son to rot in a foreign
land just for the glory of a horde
of pusillanimous dastards who are
sure never to smell burned powder
or bear a ball riddled banner ia
battle if there is such a father in
Johnstown, let him come forth
with his Iwy. The altar is ready
for the sacrifice.
Will Jojnstown respond? Will
she send forth her young men to -quench
the only spark of liberty
in the Orient? In all our city,
who. In the name of God, is so -bent .
on doing the work of the devil that
he would ifo forth with implements
of death to mangle toe quivering
flesh of pxr black wretches who

of Johnstown or any other city

A boy who received his first uni

a child, and w ho was there taught

the wars, and seen the pictures of
battles in his books, where our
brave armies made glorious charges
against their stubborn foes. Some
were falling always, but our side

and those who fell were caught by
loving hands and borne away

He dreams of the glory of the

is a sharp sting in his breast, and
as he staggers and falls, from his

his country baited him to his

His comrades press on and leave

to know.
WAH DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED.
Thii publication, designed to terror
ize aud intimidate the parents and
friends of young men intending to en
list, has no doubt caused feelings of
aRL-tii-h in the breasts of many women
who by their pleadings and supplica
tions may Influence men wh,o contem
plate entering the army. It is not
Improbable that by this time the sec
reatary of war has been Informed ot
this ineidiuos effort to interfere with
recruiting in this section. It is not
known what further steps will be
taken. Several leading citizens have
expressed themselves in the most em
phatic mauner on the subject. Mem
bers of the Grand Army posts have se
riously discussed the situation. Some
of the veterans, recalling the scenes
of the davs of the civil war. declare
that if similar sentiments appeared in
any northrn. paper during the early
sixties the editor would have to leave
at once or he would be ridden out of
town on a rail and probably treated
to a coat of tar and feathers in the
bargain.
The 'political phase of the question
will probably develop more strongly
later on. The people are just now
aroused by feelings of patriotism.
They will take up the politics of the
'situation between now and the elec
tion next month. It is pointed out
by prominent supporters of Lieutenant
Colonel Barnett tnat the (sentiments
expressed by the Johnstown Democrat
on this question are in line with what
is being printed by many other ad
vocates of Creasy'8 election as state
treasurer, only they are more radical
in giving voice to the sentiments that
all Uryanites hold.
AS TO STATE ISSUES.

"Bryan's servile follower, W. T.

those who utter a tale so false. Nul a
one red cent has been stolen. Not a
dollar is missing. The books are
straight and no direct charge has ever
been made or a single item pointed out
as being wrong. We ask. therefore,
wherein is there a state issue for the
treasurership?
"These scandal mongers know that

The Republican legislature, it will bo
remembered, inaugurated a perfect re

that? It is a mere question of electing

The "Fighting Parson" of the

figure among the brave Pennsylvanians
who fought with Dewey in the Philip
pines, and few men in the regiment
could handle a gun bette. than he
when occasion required, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, Chaplain Joseph L.

volunteers, whose home Is at James
town, Pa, shares with this famous com

them for their patriotic work. He says

nothing of his own services, but oth
ers have told of his bravery, his self
sacrificing labors in looking after the
spiritual welfare of the regiment, and
his constant and zealous attention to
the sick, the wounded and the dying
patriots who followed their country's
flag and fought gallantly for It in the
far off Orient.
But this "PiKhting Parson," as he is
familiarly known among the boys of
the regiment, pays a splendid tribute
to the manly character, the unflinch
ing courage and the other soldierly
qualities of Lieutenant Colonel James
E. Barnett. who succeeded the lament
ed Colonel Alexander Hawkins, in
command of the regiment
A TYPICAL AMERICAN SOLDIER.
"Those who know Lieutenant Col
onel Harnett best," said Chaplain Hun
ter. In chatting Interestingly about hi
commanding officer, at the Hotel Wal
ton, "respect him most and are filled
with admiration of bis noble qualities.
He Is a typical American itoldier. He
la a credit to his state and to his coun
try. He fully deserves the praise and
the plaudits that have been bestowed
upon him. He Is a refined, educated
nnd ever courteous gentleman. He be
ing a eon of a clergyman. I naturally
take a deep Interest in his welfare.
I have closely studied him and watch
ed his development of character. He
always exhibited remarkable coolness
and self control while the regiment
was under fire, was never excited nor
rash, and in eve-v way conducted him
seif to earn the respect and confidence
o'' the men of the command. He Is a
strict disciplinarian. It Is possible that
a'; times some of the men did not thor
oughly realize the importance of rigid
adherence to the requirements of the
regulation) and the carrying out of
official orders with exact compliance
with Instructions. I am -convinced,
however, that there is not a man in
the regiment who does not today ap
preciate the fact that it was due to
this determined purpose to maintain
the standard of efficiency of the com
mand In which the late Colonel Haw
kins took such pride, that the Tenth
Pennsylvania ranked with the crack
regiments at Luzon axd made a record
of which we arc all quite proud.
"Barnett Las great executive ability,
lie is a master of detail, a most riesir
r.ble quality in a man to whom the care
of a regiment Is committed, under con
ditions that frequently confronted ns
In the Philippines.
AS COMMANDER OF CAVITE.
"While Colonel Hawkins was down
with what proved to le a fatal illness,
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett was In
command of all the truopii in the dis
trict of Cante. and he filled this Im
portant post with courage and discre
tion. "He display d a tender side of his
nature in hia solicitous concern for
the sick and wounded. He saw that
iione of our boys who were la the gen
eral hospital, away from the Immedl
at care of the regiment's officers, lack
ed anything that could be secured to
comfort aad cheer them In their dis
tress. Delicacies were obtained and
sent to these men. When too busy to
go himself to the hospital he always
commanded me to remember him to
these unfortunates and to report at
once as to their condition. As the re
sult of Lieutenant Colonel Barnett's
interest friends at- home raised a large
hospital fund, and from this we were
able to purchi: many things that gave
health and strength to hundreds of our
men when sick. None of our men
when 211 ever wanted for anything we
could procure.
"While we were at La Lome church,
during the iasiurgent campaign. Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett and I drove to
Manila on a business trip. After an
hour's visit to the hospital I returned
to the meeting place to find that he had
suddenly started to the front He had
heard that the insurgents were making
an attack, and he wanted to be there
to meet tbem. Before the battle of
Guiglnto Lieutenant Colonel Barnett
was in conference with Brigade Com
mander General Hale. Meanwhile our
regiment had advanced across the
bridge end was quite a way ahead.
Never thinking of danger, he and I
crossed the bridge together, and had
gone but a short distance when a most
terrific fire came apparently from al
most every direction. We Jumped down
the embankment of the railroad and
started toward the front. Lieutenant
Colonel Barnett crossed the embank
ment to the right aide, and the next
thing I saw of htm waa with one of the
companies of our regiment, tearing
across an open field- to Join the balance
of the regiment in the thick of the
fight, the whole outfit eager for bat
tle and yelling like Apache Indians.
One man was killed In this rush.
When we started in the Maloloa cam
paign we discarded all our surplus
baggage. This was rerarded as a .se
rious situation. The incident in which
a Mauser bullet struck a Testament
that Lieutenant Colonel Barnett car
ried in his breast pocket, and which
possibly saved his life, has been fully
described.
A POPULAR CANDIDATE.
"I waa greatly pleased to learn upon
VjT returning home that through Bar
rett's nomination for state treasurer
by the Republican convention the peo
pie of Pennsylvania would have an op
portunity In a peculiar manner to show
their appreciation of the services of
tne soldiers of the Keystone State who
served in the Philippines. We all
have been made to fully recognize that
the state and the nation wish to give
due credit to the volunteer and the

ELK IN SEES VICTORY.
Former State Chairman John P. El
kln is quite confident of great Repub
lican mujoritiij in Pennsylvania this
fall.
"The present state campaign." said
Mr. Elkin. "is entirely diiTerent front
that of List year, in tht there Is no
evidence of factional opposition to the
candidates on the Republican ticket.
There Is a splendid feeling prevailing
among the Republicans throughout the
state. They recognize the fact that
the candidates on their ticket are men
of exceptions ability, and are popular
and deervlri5 of their support. There
is a spirit of patriotism abroad and of
loyalty to the Republican party which
means so mtuh for the welfare of the
state pr.d the nation. Not a word can
be said asainst the character, integ
rity, capacity or patriotism of any man
on the ticket. No one familiar wRh
the situation will say that there Is any
doubt about tbe election of any one
of them. The aim of the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, therefore, will be to
make their majorities as large as pos
sible. The national campaign cf 1900
Is already under way. The flag of
Bryanistn still floats over the camp of
the Democracy, while Republicans ev
erywhere are rallying under the ban-:
ner of McKinley. Business men are
taking a keen interest In the cam
paign. They are not anxious to in any
way help the Bryanties by the vote
of this fall so that the siiverites shall
be encouraged to enter the contest
of next year with the Idea that they
have a chance of capturing the presi
dency. Contrasted with the demoral
ized and depressed condition of the
commercial and manufacturing Inter
ests of the country in 1896, brought
about under the last Democratic ad
ministration, the situation today, with
business booming on every hand, with
our mills all running and in many
places working overtime, our Iron and
