Answer:
The Chicago Times criticism of Lincoln´s speech as of bad taste and plainly silly wants to debunk the idea that the Gettysburg fallen soldiers shared the idea that "all men are created equal" and "that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth".
Explanation:
Even if not all those soldiers agreed with Lincoln´s ideas, most of them were probably no aligned with the ideas of the Chicago Times, an anti-Lincoln and pro-Democratic newspaper.
Furthermore, the criticism published at that time, in many cases, got detracted years later, in light of the profound effect that Lincoln´s ideas had in the development of the Nation.
