Senator Perkins. But one thing is GER
tain. 1t will not help the senator any,
He would have had just as much sup
port from Los Angeles county Republic
ans without instructions as with them
OTIS FOILED., ..t
In order that the Otis would have no
opportunity to misrepresent the posi-
ton of organized labor toward him a.
telegram was yesterday sent to him
which fully informed him as to the ac-
tton taken in regard to the question Of
instructions by the workingmen at Ag-
ricultural park Monday.
In reply the following telegram was
received from Senator Perkins last
evening:
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 10. 1896.
Mr.. G. e. Fisk, President Los Angeles
County Council of Labor, Los Angeles:
Replying to your telegram, would say
that as representative in our state leg
islature and senator in congress have
always voted for and advocated every
measure calculated to elevate and dig
nifty labor and shall continue to do so
IN the future, as 1t is part of my politi-
cal creed. GEORGE G. PERKINS.
Organized labor has no fight aginst
Perkins. 1t was Otis they were after and
they succeeded In accomplishing the OBJ
the following which is embodied in the
resolutions adopted by the convention:
THE UNION MAKES A POINT.
Desiring to preserve an American
standard of living we believe that pub
lie officers should award contracts to
those firms or persons paying the union
scale Of wages and believing that the ac-
ton of the Republican national commit
tee in having the stamp of the Typo
graphical union placed on all campaign
literature sent from the national head
quarters is wise and just and we recon-
mend that officers of this convention,
the county central committee and ali
Republican organizations, campaign
clubs and candidates follow the same
course.
This resolution is a direct and inten-
tional blow at the Otis. It is aimed at
him, and 1t is condemnation of his
course In antagonizing the interests Of
labor from his own party.
1t IS virtually an Endorsement of the
course Of Mark Hanna in repudiating
OTIS and recognizing Lindley as Nc
kinley's manager in Southern Califor-
MIA.
The Otis person Is conducting a nom
union job printing establishment, and
this resolution Is intended to affect it as
well as his paper
AN A. p. A. VICTORY,
4HS eAeClloH OI captain Gilbert 10.
Overton as chairman of the convention
went to show that the A. P. A. was
strong enough, when the issue was
drawn, to control the convention.
e. A. Meserve has openly announced
himself, time and again, as opposed to
the A. P. A., and the delegates belonging
to that organization voted solidly against
him yesterday. His defeat by such a
large vote was q surprise.
Charles F. Webber of the Otis -Webber
company, limited succeeded in getting
seat in the convention and also in get
ting on the county central committee.
So did Colonel" Tommy Smith, who is
q part of the new corporation.
The assault of Sam Adams upon the
Rev.Dr. Mclean was brutal and uncalled
for. 1t was the cowardly act of a ruff
fan. and the convention placed the
stamp Of its condemnation upon 1t.
THE SLATE BROKEN.
The slate was broken as far as the
judicial ticket Is concerned. Judge b.
NJ Smith defeated George Holton. This
was the only fracture. Judge Smith
received q surprising vote in the coun-
try. whore he 10 very strong with Re
