corning the authorship of the gold plank
Of the Republican platform of 1886, said
today:
1.-The statements published by Mr..

Senator Proctor do not conflict with any
statement that has been made by me;
neither do they help in any way Mr..
Kohlsaat The point in issue was
whether or not Mr.. Nohlsaat drafted the
gold plank and forced its adoption upon
the committee. These statements show
that he had nothing whatever to IN with
the framing of that plank, except in COM
