His Utterancs.

OGGSE&nC9s
Saturday night Lincoln Post adopted
the resolutions in regard to the Gallon
affair:
"YOu committee to whom was re-
ferred the language used by one George
B. Gallon,a Santa Fe employee in speaking
of a monument to be dedicated in Chi
cago on Memorial day to the memory of
Confederate dead, have had the same
under advisement and beg leave to re-
port:
whereas, it has been brought to the
attention of this post that one George B.
Gallon, an employe in the Santa Fe
general Offices. in a discussion of the
dedication of a Confederate monument
would soon be necessary to secure a per
nit from the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie to bury anyone not member of
post in this country; and
Whereas, The same fellow, George B.
Gallon, said further in the discussion in
denunoiation of "Old Glory" %
your flag; d the dirty rag" therefore
be it
Resolved, That we denounce this blatant
alien as fellow absolutely unworthy the
allegiance to beloved Queen which he
falsely avows.
Resolved, That we denounce a fellow
of such spurious ilk as wholly unworthy
of association with those whose fathers
whipped his boasted ancestors on two
separate and distinct occasions.
Resolved, That in this gratuitous alien
is untrue to the commonest instincts of
gratitude for the fact that he is allowed
to pursue his quest for food, raiment and
shelter unmolested in such country as
this.
Resolved. That in this gratuitous fling
at the Grand Army of the Republic he
! exhibits the low origin from whence he
sprang and the depth to which be-
| ing in human shape can be dragged
when guided only by prejudice and
passion.
Resolved, That while we as mem
bers OF the Grand Army of the Republic
do not arrogate superiority over other
patriotic American citizens, nor have we
assumed the right to issue permits for
| i1terments, we are very free to say he
| has our 'permit" to betake himself to
| chimes where such vile epithets are
| consistent with the somber environ
ments.
Resolved, That such SANDER upon a
| flag which means more in the arena of
mans destiny than all other flags
! combined Ia an insult to every liberty
loving man, not only in the United
States, but in all the world, and could
/
| thoughtless and whose heart is vile.
Resolved, That his mother country was
well rid of him when he left her fogs
and boys and while we can not wish her
cursed again with such as he, we heartily
and cordially wish him to vaeate his chair
with a company always patriotic and
leave republic which never did have,
has not now and never will have any pos
| sible use for fellows like him.
Resolved, That we say to him, Get thee
hence from the sight and mind of those
whose shoes latchets you are unfit to
loosen, and may the direst providences of
the Eternal One overtake you should you
dare again to place your polluted feet
upon these tyranny hating shores.
