A DEMOCRATIC
BOOMERANG.
Dastardly Attack Upon Colonel
Barnctt Quickly Reacts.
SOLDIERS REFUTE CHARGES.
Officers and Men of the Fighting Tenth cd
Self Respecting Citizens Generally De
nounce a Cowardly Campaign of Charac
ter Assassination.
(Special Correspondence.)
Hnrristmrs. 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. Harnett, the Republican nom
inee for state treasurer. The man
agers of the Democratic machine have
had agents at work for weeks upon a
Bcheme to question the soldierly cop
duct of the sallant officer who returned
from the Philippines in command of
the "Flphting Tenth" regiment, after
the death of the brave Colonel Haw
kins. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, 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 lor.ing fight the Democratic poll,
ticans have over reached themselves,
and the nttnek 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
chip which would resort to such des
picable me?ns 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 Harrlsburg Tele
graph. Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
end 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:
SAV; HIM UNDER FIRE.
Orderly Charles Pastor, of Harris
burg, who was with the Tenth regi
ment fr: m the time it left Mt. Gretna
until it returned from the Philippines,
among other things says:
"I have Been these villainous and
outrageous charges against Lieutenant
Colonel lUrnett. They are false in
every 1 expert. 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 3?.w the colonel and lieutenant
colonel every day we were In service.
These ch urges of cowardice against
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett were
sprung for political effect to defeat
hmi for state treasurer but they are
false, outrageously and maliciously
false. It is a shaine to attnek the char
acter of so gcod 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 cowardice while the regiment
was In notion or neglect his duty in
any prrtlciilar manner?" ho was asked.
"No, never," replied Orderly Pastor,
very emphatically. "I was appointed
orderly by Colonel Hawkins about two
months after wc arrived in the Phil
ippines, and served p.3 such until the
regiment was mustered out of ser
vice. I was at Colonel Hawkins" head
quarters all the time, and consequently
saw both officers every day."
"Do you know whether there was
any friction r r ill feeling existing be
tween Colonel Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel Harnett?" asked the reporter.
"No, there wa3 none," was the reply.
"On the contrary," he continued, ' the
best of friendship end fellowship ex
isted between Colonel Hawkins and
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. The two
olilcers Fpent much of their time in
each other's company and a bond of
brotlc. ly love existed that could not
be severed. Why, when Colonel Haw
kins itied. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett
was completely unnerved and he broke
down and wept tike a child.
"At the battle of Guiguinto bridge,
At which place these lying reports say
thfit Colonel Harnett showed the white
feather by hiding behind a rice dyke.
I carried dispatches from Colonel Haw
kins to Lieutenant Colonel Harnett. 1
paw Colonel Harnett in the thickest ot
the fight. He was urrrln his men to
greater activity and in his cr.dnavor
to steady his me a he exposed himself
to a perfect h?.il ff Filipino bullcto.
During the cu'-rtments at De La
Lome church. Marlalo and Malolos I
also enrried (!.p:-tche.i from Colonel
Hawkins to Lieutenant Colonel Bar
Eett, and In each and every one of
these battles I found Lieutenant Colo
nel P-irnett with his battalion. In
every ciisaement I saw him where the
bullets Hew the thickest, and he looked
every inch the brave soldier he is.
"I on't understand why people
should slr.nder such a man as Colonel
Barnett. A brnver soldier never wore
Uncle Sum's uniform, and a kinder and
more tender hearted man never breath
ed the breath of life. Never once did
he rer,!.:e to grant a reasonable request
to the men under him, and he perform
ed msny Utile act3 of kindness that
only a soldier and gentleman is ca
pable of. It r il',s me to think that
members of the 'Fighting Tenth"
would ho far forget themselves as to
slander their superior ofilcer. I can't
believe the reports are true. They are
wilful, m.".!iioun and outrageous lies!"
ACCUSATIONS PREPOSTEROUS.
Private Frank Wail, of Company A,
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, says:
"I i:m greatly surprised and morti
f.ed to see the slanderous midnight at
ta kH Apuinnldo stylo upon the mili
tary record ami character of Lieuten
ant Colonel Harnett. The accusations
are preposterous and the time of their
promulgation so clearly Indicative of
their bason.'i;s of purpose that I would
deem (hem entirely unworthy of no
tice were it not for the fact that the
fair mime of our regiment is thus being
held i,p to the public scorn of our
country at larL'e as the author of such
silly and scandalous charges against
one of the ablest and best officers of
our army, whose patriotism and
bravery was clearly established on the
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 aiid
our citizens.
"Colonel Harnett's loyalty to his
rvniritiv In his ciinmi;iniier while liv-
shows him to be above the plaue i i
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
r.pon which the church Is situated.
There was an incline of space about
200 yards between the position occu
pied by our regiment and the South
Dakota boys. We were in the advance
and our position was so exposed that
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 wi
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 easily dis
tinguished from the others. Colonel
Barnett kept up a steady and constant
firo, 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 riving them hell." At the bat
tle of Guiguinto I saw Lieutenant Colo
nel B.irnett 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 his actions were such that showed
the kind of stuff he Is made of. He
didn't flinch once, and on several oc
casions 1 saw him In advance of his
men, leading them on to victory. No
man that saw him In that battle could
help but admire him for his bravery
and his daring. In this battle and at
Malolos he commanded the Second bat
talion. At Malolos, as at the battle of
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. L. Tidball says:
'I have known Colonel Barnett for a
uumber of years and can say that all
his actions in the Philippines were, so
far as I knew and saw, just as sol
dierly and brave as any. I was with
him on several occasions while he was
lu command of the province of Ca
vlte, and I never had reason to think
that he was anything but a brave man.
I am a Democrat, and I do not know
whether I will vote for Barnett or not,
but I am opposed to villifylng him for
political effect, and brand the report
of his cowardice as a falsehood."
Second Lieutenant J. A Ewing says:
"I have known Colonel Barnett for ten
j ears, and want to say that I .was with
him the day he was shot. I know by
personal experience that Colonel Bar
nett did his whole duty, whether in
barracks or In the presence of the
enemy; that his service was noble aud
faithful, and this Is the most loyal
tribute that can be paid to any sol
dier." Quartermaster Sergeant J. M. Gee
says: "I have known Colonel Barnett
since belonging to the regiment, six
years, and from all I have seen of him
le has always conducted himself as a
soldier. He has done things that have
not altogether pleased the majority,
yet cn 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 hir actions Indicating tho
least sign of cowardice."
Lieutenant Ilarhuis says: "I am not
familiar in full with the charges pre
ferred against Colonel Barnett, but.
In so far as his conduct as a brave
toldier is placed in the balance, know
ing what 1 do, I am free to say that In
my opinion there Is nothing In his
conduct as such thpt would reflect dis
credit upon Bim."
Corporal .1. B. Edgar, of Company B,
says: "Having lead the charges o?
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. W. Brown, of Company
E, says: "If Colonel Barnett is a
coward, so am I, 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
Are. I will fr.ee any man who charges
him with cowardice and defy him to
prove his statements."
Captains Crago and Watson, Captain
Hunter, Lieutenant Aikeii, Major Neft
and many others have given similar
testimony.
ANONYMOUS CHARGES.
incse are Dut a tew ot mo manj
testimonials for Colonel Barnett that
have come from members of his regi
ment since this laut hour political at
tack was sprung upon him. A care
ful reading of the publications inspired
by the Democratic state committee
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
pany I," or "a corporal in one of the
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.
moiiB, 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 wcuiern Penn
sylvania, says:
"Character assassins are at work In
Pennsylvania in a desperate eleventh
hour effort to promote the fortunes of
the Democratic parly. The better ele
ment of that party, be it said to its
credit, has shown a disposition to
avoid mud clinging. But, unfortunate
ly for the party. It has as udheronts
certain knaves and fools who cannot
be restrained from campaign method
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 und 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
nett. candidate for state treasurer, j
h...,-...j i... u, t,ut ly i.. -ul-hoim-
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. He
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
patrjotism, braved the perils of Luzon
swamps and Philippine fevers, Spanish
and rebel bullets, while' the men who
new 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 gallant Tenth, and not a voice was
raised in the section of the state where
he was born and reared reflecting
either on his business abltity or his
social standing. In all the scores of
letters sent home by the Tenth boys
in Manila and widely published in both
the city and rural press, not a hint
was dropped of any dissatisfaction.
He was a hero until he consented to
run for 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 '60s 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
scoundrels who are willing to destroy
a reputation for political gain. But
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 Intelli
gence of Pennsylvania."

"On Tuesday, Nov. 7, Pennsylvania
will go to the polls," says the Phila
delphia Inquirer. "The Republican
party prcieai3 a ticket that It is
proud of. The Democrats say that the
issue is purely local. Very well, be It
so. Can the Republican ticket be
matched?
"The:e Is Hay Brown for judge of
the supreme court. Ho Is known In
every county. Is there a word to be
said against him?
"There is James E. Barnett, the gal
lant commander of the fighting Tenth
regiment, the candidate for state treas
urer. Has any one dared to bring a
charge against him? Yes. Ho Is a Re
publican and a soldier. That Is his
crime. And so they place against him
William T. Creasy, who is neither a
Republican nor a soldier, and they say
of Crcisy wlict? Why, he Is honest.
He may be. He undoubtedly Is. But
no one yet hr.s dared even to breathe
a suspicion of the honesty of Colonel
Barnett.
And there Is John I. Mitchell for su
perior court judge. We fancy that
there is not even an "Insurgent" who
would care to assail Judge Mitchell.
His life has been an open book. He
was raiLed on a farm, taught school,
studied law, was three years district
attorney of Tioga county, went to war
for a year, was five years In the legis
lature, served four years In the nation
al house of representatives, was for
six years United States senator, and for
the past ten years has been president
judge of the court of common pleas of
Tioga county. He was re-elected last
November. Where is the man who Is
going to say that Judge Mitchell Is not
worthy of a seat on the bench of the
superior court.
"If there Is a Republican who can
not vote that ticket he ought to be
ashamed of his association with the
Republican party.
"Pennsylvania will be expected to fall
into line with the states that believe
In prosperity, patriotism and peace,
and support McKinley. There can be
no question of the loyalty of Pennsyl
vania. This great state will elect
Brown and Mitchell and it will prefer
Barnctt, the man who fought Spain and

Aguinaldo by opposing those who gave
battle to him."
