WILLING MISREPRESENTATION.
How the Times Endeavored to Sustain
Its Weak Case

When the Times printed its statement
of Browns withdrawal as a candidate
for the council from the Second ward, it
gave out the impression that he was not
out of the race until November 12, 1891.
AS matter of fact, Brown was out Of
the race on November 2, 1894, when the
Populist committee accepted his resig
nation. The following proves the fact,
for it is an exact reproduction of the
minutes of the Populist city central COM
mittee:

utes be taken for the purpose of inter-

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 9, 1894.
w. L. Price, esq.,: Dear Friend-I have
been in consultation with parties re-
garding the matter you spoke to me
about. l could not pay any money to
have Mr.. b. withdraw from his ticket

M. p. S.
"On November 10 Price came and SAID
that Brown was about to be thrown out
of his house. that he was extremely
poor, and for Gods sake to help him
out
"I then gave Price $40 to give 10
Brown. The same day Brown came to me
and said he was in very straitened cir
cumstances told him that Mr.. Price
had already been to see me in his be-
half and that I had given Mr.. Price S2o
for him. ! then wrote an order on Price,
directing him to give Mr.. Brown $20
About ten days ago I met Price on
Spring street, between Second and Third
streets. He said to me:
"'What position will get il you are
elected?
II said to him:
"'I will promise you nothing. have
made no promises, and intend to make
none. 1 shouldn't think that you would
come to me and ask for anything of me
after the experience I had with you two
years ago.
Friends of mine came to me few
days later and told me that Price had
been exhibiting letters of mine, and that
he had said that Martin had offered him
$1,000 for the letters
II told them that Martin could give
$1,000 or 1000 cents If he wanted to for the
letters, as I would not give 5 cents for
them. I also went further and stated
that Price could not blackmail me, and
that I defied him.
Friends also told me later that Price
had said to them that while Martin haG
offered him $1,000 for the letters. he was
still a loyal Democrat and would rathar
take half the amount from Snyder and
give up the letters. then most emphas-
ically said that 1 would under no crcum-
stances give Mr.. Price a penny for letters
or anything else he had of mine or could
get, as l knew full we'll that it was i'm
possible for him to have anything that
could injure me-"

MR.. SNYDER'S STATEMENT
He Gives a Full and Accurate Detail of
the Whole Affair.


Mr.. Snyder's statement in relation m
the matter is as follows:
In the latter part Of October, 1894,
W. L. Price came to me and stated that
he knew G. F. Brown, the Populist nom
inee for councilman, very well. He said
that he had great deal of influence with
Brown and could easily get him to with
draw for money consideration
II told Price that this would be vio-
lation of the purity of election law and
that I could not for moment consid-
er it.
"Price insisted that it could be done
quietly told him that could not con-
slider it for a moment, although would
like very much to have Mr.. Brown with
draw.
price then stated that he had influ-
ence enough with Mr.. Brown to get him
to withdraw
"On the Sd or 4th day of November
Price came to me and stated that he had
influenced Brown to withdraw; that his
resignation had been accepted by the
Populist committee, and that he thought
l ought to do something not only for
Brown but for him.
II told him that I felt grateful to Mr..
Brown and to him as well for his kind
offices, and that anything I could do in
the future for either of them I would
gladly do.
price stated then that he thought it
would be only right for me to give Brown
$100 and to give him $50.
II told him would consider the mat
ter and let him know.
On the 9th of November not the 9th of
October, as stated in the Times (neither
Brown nor Snyder were nominated until
after October %, 1S94,) wrote the COM

REEs OR BLANCHARD, WHICH ?
A Few Comparisons to Assist Ninth
Ward Voters in Making Their Choice

According to an old saying, "compar-
isons are odious," but it is also true
that comparisons are wholesome and
voters of the Ninth ward in determining
whom they should send to represent
them in the council next term we will
make few comparisons.
During Mr.. Rees' term in the council
Ex-Mayor Workman rendered to the
city about three and one-half acres of
land for park purposes providing the
same should be at once improved. Some
members of the council thought that the
land offered was too small and otherwise
unsuited for park purposes. Mr. Rees
moved that the matter be referred to
a committee and stated that he was sure
Mrs. Hollenbeck could be induced to
donate ten or fifteen acres also That
lady cheerfully gave fourteen acres, anG
Mr.. Workman was finally induced by
the committee of which Mr.. Rees was
a member to enlarge his gift to about
ten acres. A few councilmen still in
sisted that the land offered by Mr..
workman was too rough in character
TO be converted into a park. Mr.. Rees
claimed that the rough portion could be
converted into a lake and that the re-
mainder of the undulating land could.
be converted into gem of a park The
Hollenbeck park today looks like a small
section of paradise, and is a monument
to the energy and diplomacy of Mr..
Rees in securing it's acceptance and in
providing for annual appropriations ac-
cording to the terms agreed upon. This
work was supplemented by large appro-
priations for making a dam across the
arroyo on Boyle avenue, and at the
same time reducing a heavy grade on
that avenue, and also another large
appropriation for the construction of
brick culvert to carry off the overflow
from the lake.
In addition to the above, Mr.. Rees
had the city prisoners and several gangs
of the street department engaged for
about five months, making a heavy cut
and fill on East First street between
Evergreen avenue and Platt's dairy The
same force of men made a heavy cut
and fill on st. Louis street, near the
Methodist church, and on Michigan ave-
nue. and San Benito street, and on same
avenue near Mathews street; on Soto
near Stevenson avenue. The latter ave-
nue. was also put in good condition.

Complete Denial by Affidavit Of George F.

Mr.. Snyder Makes a Fair and Open
Statement of the Case, Which En-
tirely Exonerates Him-Evi-
dence Of Misrepresentation.

The Times yesterday morning appears
in its usual and anticipated role, at

mayor.
This time Otis has called to his aid
a most worthy assistant in the person
Of W. L., alias Bud" Price.
The attempt of the Times is to show
that Mr.. Snyder, two years ago, when
a candidate for the council from the
Second ward, violated! the purity OF
election law by reimbursing one George
F. Brown, the Populist nominee for the
same office, for the money he had ex-
pended in his campaign prior to his
withdrawal as a candidate.
In endeavoring to establish its case,
the Times is obliged to rely almost ex-
clusively upon the evidence of that we'll
known character, bud" Price, and a let
ter written by Mr.. Snyder. with which,
by stretch Of imagination, they seek to
injure Mr.. Snyder
Mr.. Snyder's statement, which is given
below, will fully explain to any reason
able, unprejudiced and honest man, just
how he came to be associated with mar
of the caliber, standing and character of
Price.
Mr.. Snyder is fully exonerated from
the malicious charge made in the Time S
by the showing which is made below.
The candidate, George f. Brown,
makes full, fair and unequivocal state
ment, generating Snyder, under oath.
A careful reading of his affidavit and
the statement of Mr.. Snyder is the best
possible evidence that the whole scheme
is one on the part of the Times to injure
Snyder and on the part of Price it was
purely an attempt at blackmail.
Prices statement of the whole affair
Is contradicted in many material points
by the best evidence, and that Is himself.
By his own statement, If what he saws

is true, he should be behind prison bars.
Price has been threatening for ten
days to sell these letters iu Julius II.
Martin, the Republican candidate for
mayor. He said that he had been offered
$1,000 for Them and wanted Mr. Snyder
or his friends to put up $500.
This offer was declined and Price was
told to do his worst. Among others who
have been talking about the letters is
Charles d. Platt. the party who was IN
the blackmail case of T.. E. Crandall.
Sackett Cornell is also mixed up with
the letter. 1t will be seen that the three
make an interesting trio. They are the
persons who seek to defame the charac-
ter of M. p. Snyder, who has resided here
for over fifteen years, and has been en-
gagged in an honorable business calling
during all of that time.
The complete eXoneration of Mr.. Sny-
der of either charge of bribery or
violations of the law of any kind is en-
bodied in the following facts:
The herald., 1896-11-22
Adjourned until November 10, 1894, 80

p. m.
Now, Brown was not nominated FOR
the council until October 23, and Snyder
was not nominated until October 22 So
the date of Snyder's letter to Price Oc-
tober 8, is erroneous. 1t was November
9. This was seven days after Brown
had withdrawn and was absolutely out
of the race.
True, Brown did file his declination
November il, but ne did So merely to liz
sure his names not going on the ticket
for he knew, prior to this, that he was
absolutely and lawfully out of the race
His action Of November 12 was super
f1uous.
The Times got the record from the Sec
retary of the Populist committee on
Friday evening as to when Brown had
withdrawn and his resignation accepted
November 2. But it failed to print one
line of these facts simply because it
desired to go as far in misrepresenting
Mr.. Snyder as 1t could.
This whole affair is very plain and
simple. and it in no way affects the char
acter and standing of NJ p Snyder, The

anything due he would have to collect

Three or four weeks later I met Price,

there was no case.

G. F. Brown, being by me duly sworn,
deposes and says:
Il was nominated by the Populist
convention two years ago for council
man in the Second ward. Shortly after
that nomination / met Mr.. Snyder and
had a talk with him. I told him it was
not prudent for both of us to stay on
the ticket If it was desirous to beat the
water company candidate, and 1 most
emphatically thought that was the
thing for us to do. L told him that I
would make a canvass of the ward and
find out how the voters stood as regards
his candidacy and mine. l said that
everything I would do would be fair,
and 1 presumed that he would act in
equal good faith.
Shortly after this Price came to me
and asked me to resign, or rather de-
cline, in favor of Snyder told him
that I could not conscientiously do so
at that time, but would see him after
had completed my canvass of the ward.
"The next day I saw Snyder again.
I told him about meeting Price. He
promptly said he could have nothing to
do with the matter of my withdrawal.
Later I received a note from Price,
asking me to come to the court oouse
He said if remained in the field it
would injure Snyder and that could
not possibly be elected myself. To this
1 replied that If he would pay me for a
portion of the time and moIey had ex-
pended in making a canvass and polling
the ward 1 would consider the matter.
He asked me how much had spent
and how much l would want for my
time. I told him could give an item
lied account of expenses But my
time I would also expect partial re-
muneration for.
I'm the meantime Republican called
on me and said he understood I was to
resign. I told him that it was useless
for me to continue in the field, as I
would only be at an expense and get no
results. That I could only expect to
elect Burns. the Republican candidate.
He promptly told me that he would
guarantee that it would cost me nothing
