A FALLEN HERO.
tanners Offensive Remarks Regarding Sol
dters Widows May Cause His Down
falI-Tezt of His Speech.
New York Herald,

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. 3d. Sur
plus Buster'' Tanner wishes now that he
aaluot come to Milwaukee, but had
taken the advice of his superiors in Office
aid stayed in Washington.
Ats O clock yesterday afternoon he
might have said, with Monte Christie,
nThe world is mine. - At 0 CLOCK the
same Tanner was gotten out Of Milwaukee
fallen hero.
.t3o clock President Harrison had
been thanked for appointing the corporal
mpuU.ic office and Tanner s course in
tla administration of the pension bureau
had been mdoTsed from Genesis to Reve-
la-tons. Then came up the widows
pension resolution, and Tanner made
that speech which over twO-thiTds of the
NrLegates present took as a personal m
sut The storm ragged, and three hours
after Tanner was fleeing from Milwau-
ke.
Never was a downfall so sudden or
complete. To-day officials of the Grand
ARMY generally refuse to express an
opinion but private members do not
hesitate to say that Tanner ought to be
expelled from the order.
EAA.HEEATION CLAIMED, BUT PROVEN
FALSE.
Hundreds Of kilograms have poured in
to-day CD Headquarters asking if Tanner
really made use of the expressions at
ir.ut.l 10 him. The general reply sent
.at aa, been that Tanner did say some
thing @. the kind, but that he did not
mean f, and the newspaper reports are
exaggerated.
That there was no eXaggeTatiOn can
now aa proved. An old newspaper man
and member of the Grand Army was in
80" gallery a. the time and took down
Ia@... words. At first, like other
members Of the order, he was inclined to
4.or silence. Then his wrath rose against
iaHaar, and to-day he made his notes
l...e.
When the resolution asking congress to
continue widows pensions after remar-
mage was introduced it was greeted with
->,"m Of laughter. Everyone seemed
" iHH6 il was a joke. Not "A dozen dele
-.-.s took it in earnest. The committee
Oh resolutions reported it back with the
recommendation that it lie on the table,
and Communicating Chief Warner COM
