W. A. Stone or Pennsylvania saId he could
not see why republicans should not vote for
the resolution . although they were not to
blame for the bd management that hrought
about the difficulty. To refu3e to make the
bonds payable In gohl would be to spIte the
country. The president had ! twice appealed
to the patriotIsm or the republican party and
that appeal had never been made In vatn.
They shoull respond agaIn.
Mr. Hepburn or Iowa said the gentleman
tram Pennsylvania proposed to g bade un
tIle whole policy at his party that had always
pledged Itself to maIntain gold and silver at

reported to have said to the committee on
ways and means that Ir the gold proviso was '
put Into this issue or bonds ! It must go Into
every future Issue. "Do you propose to do
that ? " lie asked and there were cries of
"No. No "

was great applause and Inuhtr.
After readIng the plank at the republican
