The Maligners Of Private Character

The people of Los Angeles owe it to-
themselves to place their seal of con-
demnation on the coarse, slanderous
attacks on Mr.. BEAUDRY'S private
character by a sheet which is ready to
become the venal tool Of any man,
party or organization for compensa-
ton. Having exposed the ISLANDERS of
the Express SO often and showed to
the community the object of it's at
tacks, we deem it unnecessary to oc-
cupy the tIme,of our readers in refut-
ing anything more it may say. We
feel like offering an apology to our
friends for SO frequently bringing this
subject before them. But we also feek
that the interests of the entire city are
at stake, and the rejecting part of the
community will excuse us for kicking
the nuisance out of the way. Mr..
BEAUDRY is an old citizen of Los An
geles. He has lived here for nearly q
quarter of century and his private
character is so we'll and so favorably
known to all old residents that they
naturally look with contempt on those
who are base enough to invent and
repeat day after day charges which
all know are false; that their authors
know to be SO and that they were
prompted to create and place them i'm
circulation from the basest and most
dishonorable motives. The citizens of
Los Angeles are shocked at the libel
GUS attacks made on one of their num-
ber, and to show their detestation O
the course pursued by those who are
opposing Mr.. BEAUDRY, hundreds of
citizens will vote for him who until
his private character was falsely and
maliciously assailed, had not thonght
of doing SO. The people owe it to
themselves to brand these vile SLAM
derers, and we believe Monday even
ing will show that they have rebuked
them and vindicated the character of
their fellow-citizen.

Voters, Beware.

al We are informed that number of
different kinds of frauds on the Peo-
ple's Ticket are in. the hands of the
ring wire-pullers. One of these is the
entire ring ticket for Councilmen,
with he name of p. BEAUDRY on the
top. This ticket has been issued by
the ring in the hope of deceiving a
sufficient number of voters to secure
the election of their =Councilmen.
They have no hope of defeating Mr..
BEAUDRY, and are using his name to
carry in their Councilmen. The ene-
mics of Mr.. CARRILLo have had
printed large number of the Peoples
Ticket, on which the name of one of
the other candidates appear for Mar
shal. These tickets are all spurious.
None of the candidates on the Peoples
Ticket nor their friends have printed
any but the straight ticket. Voters,
examine your tickets closely.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
BeandrY and Sabichi.


1t is well understood that Mr.. SABI-
CHI, If elected, will be mere piece of
wax in the hands OF the WAGER sharps.
He has given proof of this in the re-
port of the Committee on Zanjas, of
which he is member pro tenn, when
on the 10th ult. he reported in favor
ofgranting to this monopoly, aOithout
conditions, the privilege of building a
flume four feet high and five feet wide
across private property, greatly to its
damage; also in favor of granting per-
mission to close three streets. 1t is
equally apparent that the organ of Mr..
TIFFANY has for several days been
making overtures to the Water Com
pany for the support of the monopoly.
In fact, it would be just as well to elect
the Water Company Mayor as either
SABICHI or TIFFANY. The absurd at
tempt of the hired presses of the mo-
nopoly to injure the reputation of Mr.
BEAUDRY by slander and vituperation
has fallen harmless at his feet. He
has been a well known and honest cit
izen in Los Angeles for twenty-five
years, and no one ever breathed a
word against him until the monopoly
set their pack upon him. He has been
an active and useful business man and
few men present fairer record. One
thing is certain: his interests are the
interests of the city, while the inter-
ests of the monopoly and their candi-
dates are opposed to the public welfare
and the growth and prosperity of Los
Angeles.

" The Watered Press"

Every voter in Los Angeles should
read communication which we print
this morning under the caption OF
"The Watered Press" 1t speaks
volumes to. our people. 1t uncovers
the springs which impel the ring press
to the vehement assailment of Mr..
BEAUDRY, and explains who prompts
the libeling of an old and highly es-
teemed citizen, as well as points with
unerring certainty to the tools used in
slandering the character of gentle
man whose only fault is that he stands
between the people and oppressive and
exacting monopolies. "The Watered
Press " is known to the people and its
influence is nothing.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
That Ticket.

AS anticipated, the Ecening Express
hoists the ring ticket and heads its
editorial column with all article laud-
atory of the assumed virtues of the
candidates therein named. In that ar
ticle we are told that it is "a respecta-
BILE ticket,n "an honest ticket" and
such like recommendations, all of
which are intended to deceive the peo-
pie into the support of the rings
chosen instruments and fill our mu-
nicipal offices with men who recog-
nize the special franchise monopolies
that have so long checked the pros
perity and blighted the interests of
our city, as paramount to the success
of the people at large. There is also
a clearly defined disposition on the
part of the ring and through it on the
part of the Express to give the muni-
pal contest political aspect, which is
something that should not enter into
an election where only the improve
ment and prosperity of city should
be the purpose aimed at. At the head
of the ring ticket we find the name of
GEO. o. TIFFANY, gentleman, who
once held the opinion that
only those who are willing to swear
that everything and every act of the
Administration is right, are deserving
the name OF American citizens. Mr..
TIFFANY is besides an ex-Federal Of
ficer, having held the place of Deputy
Gauger until the Collector found he
was not at all adapted for the busi-
ness and was compelled to fill his
place with another man. Lower
down in the ticket we come to the
name Of A. G. MAPPA for City AS
SCISSOR, another Federal officer whom
Collector SEDGwICK tried and found
anything but success as Deputy
Collector. This gentleman, we are
informed, has long held to the opin-
ion that a man not willing to support
any and every measure of the Admin
istration afforded strong presumptive
evidence that his honesty is more
than questionable. What the ring ex-
poets to make of those two candidates,
neither one of which is remarkable
only for their strong radical principles,
their failure as Federal officers and
their probable subservency to the mo-
nopolies, we do not know, but it is cer-
tainly trying to elect them.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
How Terrible Now.

The Express is trying 10 injure Mr..
BEAUDRY through the fact that he
was President of the Los Angeles
Water Company the first year of its
existence. If the disgrace of being
connected with monopoly hangs to a
man so long, what an odor the Express
must be in that is owned by the
Water Company now. When Mr..
BEAUDRY was member of the
Water Company the corporation paid
the city 81 800 per year, but as soon
as he left it the sum was cut
down to 400 per year-a loss of many
thousand dollars to the Taxpayers
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07

streets, irrigating land and furnishing
homes for the many, but he is doing
it all with his own money. He Is
known as q man of the strictest hon
esty in all his dealings, and he is
doing more to encourage people and
capital to locate in Los Angeles than
all the special franchise corporations
with which Los Angeles is cursed. He
is progressive man, and, we believe,
the man of all the candidates now
running for Mayor whom the people
should elect. ---,. 81.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
Bernard Tangles Up.

Through sort of vague conscious
ness that it is no longer worth while
for it to repeat the BERNARD slander,
the Express now gives the statement
as coming from BERNARD himself
II, after denying that he ever owned
a lot, then having the record prove
that he had sold. it to Bishop AMAT
and afterward sold it to Mr.. BEAUDRY,
any statement that this man BERNARD
will make receives the slightest credit
it will be among such parties as the
Elrpress represents-people who have
taught themselves to believe anything
against Mr.. BEAUDRY.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
Effect Of Its SANDERS.

Yesterday a prominent manager OF
the ring was heard to say that the
libels and ISLANDERS of the Erpress had
added three hundred to the support OF
Mr.. BEAUDRY. This is probably un-
derstating the fact. All good citizens
will to-day place their seal of condem-
nation on the libels and slanders that
have been heaped upon one of their
citizens. Unless this habit of malign-
ing and traducing private character is
rebuked, worthy and respectable citi-
zens will not in future consent to
serve the people as public officers.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
Still Another SIander Pinned.

The hired slanderer which is lust
now in the employ of the Water Com
pany has had something to say about
the case of SToEMER, out of which it
seeks to injure Mr.. BEAUDRY. OF
course there is nothing in it, except
the falsehoods of the Express, but as
there may be a few new arrivals who
have not learned the venal and un-
truthful character of that pa per, it
will be we'll to state the facts. which
are as follows: Of 20 acres lying be-
tween Second and Fourth streets, and
running far enough into the hills to
make that number of acres which Mr..
BEAUDRY had divided into building
lots, one tract was decided by the city
to jessie d. HUNTER on the 7th of
May, 1855. The other sten-acre tract,
in which is the lot of HELEN SToEMER,
was granted by the city to CoNCHA DE
LEWIS ON the 10Th Of February, 1855,
and by her and her husband, HENRY
A. LEWIS, conveyed to HENRY HAN
COCK, on the 10th of July, 1856. On
the 10th, Of March, 1867, the Sheriff, T..
A. SANCHEZ, sold the above described
ten acres owned by HENRY HANCOCK,
at public auction, to satisfy judg-
ment in favor of KELLER and against
HANCOCK. Mr.. BEAUDRY, being the
highest bidder, was the purchaser.
He divided the tract into lots, and
among Others sold lot IL, block 3, to
HELEN SrpEArEB, ,oi, the 30th o. March,
1870, for 1850, payable in monthly in
stallments oi $40 eac.i, without in
terest, Sire paid$l5 and then sold
some property to Mr.. BEAUDRY for
$50, making S35 in all. III Meantime,
Major. HANCoGk had sguatted on this
tract, and Mr. BEAUDaY Instituted
suit for possession, winch was decided
in his favor. During the pc ndency of
this suit, Mr.. BEAUDRY had suspended
the collection of the installments, but
when 1t was decided in his favor he
sent his collector for the money, who
was told by Mrs. SToEMER that she
had obtained deed from the city, and
claiming that twas her lot, refused
to pay further installments. After
delaying some time, Mr.. BEAUDRY
again'sent his collector to her for the
instalimept. with the notification THAT
If she did not desire to pay further In
staliments she need not doso, and he
would return the. money already paid
on thesurrender of the agreement to
sell, which she held. This left her at
liberty to keep the lot, if she desired
to pay for 1t. The woman sent back
her answer that she would not surren-
der the agreement, would not pay the
balance due, and would keep the lot;
adding that if Mr.. BEAUDRY wanted
the lot, he must pay her for it. After
this she was notified that if she per-
sisted in her effort to defraud Mr..
BEAUDRY out. of the lot, he would be
compelled to commence proceedings at
law against her, which wasdone. The
case was tried before JAMES LANDER,
Court Commissioners, who rendered
judgment in favor Of Mr.. BEAUDRY
on the 2sth of September, 1871. Out
OF this suit to. recover his own prop
erty, the slanderer seeks to make Mr..
BEAUDRY guilty of an act almost as
meanas some of its own. sH

Insult to the Germans.

A few weeks ago the Express offered
a direct insult to our German born cit
zens by announcing it as his opinion
that the Chinese tongue was more
useful in this country than the Ger
man language. Yet that paper now
adds insult to injury by beseeching our
German born fellow-citizens to vote
for Mr.. TIFFANY; or, if they cannot do
that, then to vote for SABICHI.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
All for .Beaudry.

The Star says vote for TIFFANY is
a vote thrown away; that the contest
for Mayor is between BEAUDRY and
SABICHI. The Express says SABIoHI
is neither smart nor honest. If we
accept the conclusions of these two
papers, both working in the interest
of the ring, about the ring candidates,
Mr.. BEAUDRY is the only candidate
for whom the people can vote.

Tickets.

In order to accommodate the people
and enable voters to supply them
selves with ballots before going to the
polls, we this morning issue fifteen
hundred copies of the HERALD-Extra,
in each of which are folded three bal
lots--all the straight Peoples Ticket.
AS far as it could be done, the ballots
are delivered in the proper wards; but
as some errors in this respect will nec-
essarily occur, we suggest to all voters
to closely examine their ballots and
see that they are for their respective
wards. isf.g "a ,es..s 40. ,....''. 70

The autenticity and correctness of a
chapter from the Bible would be
doubted in this community if it APP
peared in the Express, but as that
sheet will get out this morning or
early in the day with a tissue of false
hoods. We warn voters to beware
of it. 1t lies for the very lust of lying
and-the rings money.

Another Ring Dodge.

Yesterday evening Mr.. SABIcHI is

mates that Mr.. BEAUDRY has made a
combination with the Water and Gas
Companies. This is false and is a
trick. OF the ring. It is too bald to de-

Beaudry All the Time.

The Express says the contest is be-
tween BEAUDRY and TIFFANY and a
vote for SABICHI is vote thrown
away. The Star says the contest is
between BEAUDRY and SABICHI, and
a vote for TIFFANY is vote thrown
away. Both papers are right and
both wrong. BEAUDRY is the peo-
ple's candidate and a vote for either
SABICHI or TIFFANY is vote thrown
away.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-07
They Admit Defeat.

All day yesterday the SABIoHI men
were busy drawing their secret made
bets that BEAUDRY would be defeated.
They give up the fight and acknowl-
edge among themselves that Mr..
BEAUDRY is the popular candidate.

The burial of the dead in Paris is per-

company five francs per body inferred,

nized by law, or one and three.fourths

company is also bound to bury gratui-

amounted to $4,000 cases, against $4,000

ScHESoK's SEA WEED ToS1o.--In the atmos-
phere experienced here during the summer
months, the letharey produced by the heat

frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy.
particularly those suffering from the effects Of
debiIitating diseases. In order to keep a ma

must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose Shenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effec-
tual A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For
dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ

minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular
operations Of nature. and supplies her def

natural solvent which. in a healthy condition
of the body, causes the food to be digested;
