~ Let every Republican read the following let
ter from General Mn Miller of the "blooiy
twenty first" Regmcn,-the author of the never
to-be-forgouen EXPRESSION, arm Try SIR" 1t was
written in answer to inquiries OF Hon. Daniel
Webster, as to Gen. Ms opinion Of Harrison mil.
itary character
SALEM, June 30, 1910.
My Dear Sir:
have the honor to have received your letter of
yesterday, requesting me to state what | think of
the recent attacks on the military character of Gen
Harrison. In answer can truly say that | have
noticed with deep regret attacks only on his
well.earned military fame, but also upon his private
and moral character. My first acquaintance with
Gen. Harrison was in the year 1911, was on du
ty in tho 9TH Regiment Of Infantry, then comman
ded by Col John P Boyd-afterwards Gen. Boyd
under orders to proceed 10 Vincennes, and there
report to Governor HARRISON. We did So We re
manned AT Vincennes some days. and united orr
selves with the Volunteers assembled there; devo.
ting our limited time to the pNrpose of organization
and driIl. We then took up the line of arch for
the Indian country, and proceeded by slow and
cautious marches, until we had reached about sew
eniy miles up tho Wabash toward TIppecanoe;
where we Ina tied and threw up stockaded work +,
which called Fort Harrison. Here remained
until tho army returned from Tppecanoe, after the
battle.
Although was not in the battle, still l took
great interest in il; had much conversation with
all the officers their return; and made every in
quiry could think of respecting their movements
and encampments, the attack and defence, and the
operations Of the battle throughout; and mado up
my mind, unhestatingiy, that the campaign lind
been conducted with great bravery, skill and iudg-
ment, and that nothing left undone, that could
be done, consistently with the Generals express
orders from the War Department, which saw and
read Nor have ever known or heard of any act
of his which has, in the least degree altered the
opinion then formed Of him. | will add, that if
1 cUcr had any military skill, am more indebted
for it to GENERAL HARRISON, than TO ann other
man Soon aflcr the battle, I wrote a letter 10
Gen. Benjamin Pierce, late Governor of New
Hampshire-my military father, as l call him
giving somewhat detailed account of the cam.
paign Of Tippecanoe. That letter was preserved
by Gen. p, and might probably now be found
among his papers. fit is in existence, II will
show what were my opinions at that time, as
would also several other letters then written by
me various friends. In those days | never
heard that Gen. Harrison was a coward or wore
petticoats.
To conclude, freely express my opinion, after
following him through all his civil and militry ca
reer after living with him in his family more than
six months, that Gen. WIN. II. HARxIstNa is as free
from stain Mcmish falls to the lot of mum to
be. l am, dear Sir, your old friend
