Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-21

far east as Louisiana and as far north
as Sacramento. After considerable cor
respondence with the officials of the
\ railroad, think there is now a fair un-
derstanding that we should have a side
track. This promise has been made bv
| A. N. Towne, the general business man
ager of the railroad, and he has given
orders that we now load cars in front Of
our warehouse upon the track already
laid, thus repudiating the lease entered
into for the purpose of keeping us from
loading our grain from the front of our
warehouse. Mr.. Towne has given as
surances that we shall have equal rights
with all others in this state to reach his
trains.
II have used what power possessed
in consolidating all the industrial or
carnations in this state into one solid
mass, and concentrating them in this
city during this week for the purpose of
organizing the Peoples party, through
which we expect to enforce our demands
at the ballot box, thus planting our
banner in the front line of the battlefield
in 1892. If the grand army of laborers
move up to this line, all will be WELL"
President Cannon also suggested a
number of amendments in the constitu-
ton and bylaws, which were referred to
committee, at the morning session,
and were reported upon during the after
noon.
The afternoon session was opened with
vocal music by Prof. Henri Fairweather,
accompanied on the organ by Mrs. Fair
weather. The songs were A Patriotic
Government and The Flag of Freedom,
both original compositions taken from
Professor Fairweather's collection of
alliance songs.
The reports of anum berof committees
were heard, among them that of the
committee on bylaws. The suggestions
made by President Cannon, all Of par
liamentary nature, were adopted. A re-
quest from the president to be relieved
from the administrative cares of his
position was referred, and he was asked
to retain his position for another year.
The committee on the order of busi-
ness reported, and the order will go into
force today.
National President Polk then took up
three-quarters OF an hour with an ad-
dress in which he reported on the work
of the alliance in the east and south as
he had seen it. The local organization
has been so isolated from the main
body that its members have been
ignorant of many features of import
ance to the purpose of the National
Alliance. The information given by
Mr.. Polk was therefore very welcome.
The convention adjourned at 5 O'Clock
after an announcement had been made
of the public reception arranged for last
evening at Hazards pavilion, corner of
Fifth and Olive streets.
