Mr. Plumb-The question "a TO the reSpon- |
,ibility Of the Senator from Vermont is, Of |
curse. OF no consequence except to himself. |
But when he says that we are gong to deliver |
over to the Democratic party the finances OF |
he country, ask him what he is going to do |
With the Republican platform. Is he going to |
consent or agree that the platform Of the Re-
publican party, adopted IN Chicago In 1893, |
shall be. tho platform OF the Democratic
1Rrty2 II he Is, is he going to claim for
he Republican party the platform adopted

epresent either himself or the Republican

proposition to meet the Just and reasonable
demands OF the people OF the United States In
