or's chair. From the opening of the
campaign, which has been rather
long one for a municipal election, the


HERALD has espoused and advocated


what it conscienciously believes to be


the cause of the people. In doing this,


it has attacked no mans private char


acter and made no statements other
than those 1t has believed, and yet be-
ilieves to be strictly true. When we


have mentioned Individual candidates


by name itlhas been to CALI attention


to their public or-oflicial record. We
have charged that Mr. TIFFANY has
permitted himself 10 be made use of
by the ring to divert votes from Mr..
BEAUDRY- which they could not se-


cure for Mr.. SABICHI, and the charge


is substantiated by Mr.. TIFFANY him.


self in remaining candidate while


admitting that he did not expect to


be elected. We have, charged that if
Mr.. TIFFANY should be elected he


would act with the Water Company
and against the interests Of the peo-


pie, and he sustained that charge,


when he as foreman of the Grand
Jury, went out of his line of duty to
!, visit and whitewash the reservoir of
the company for the sole purpose of
strengthening the company's libel
suit against the HERALD. The cor
rectness of these charges are SO patent
that Mr.. TIFFANY has never attempt
ed to deny them through the columns
of his own paper. In preferring these
charges against Mr.. TIFFANY our pur-
pose was not to attack him as q pri-
yate citizen, but to show that he is


under influences and bound by ties
which will prevent his equitable per-
formance of the duties he would be
called upon to discharge as Mayor of
the city ofLos Angeles. The HERALD
has opposed the, election of Mr.. SA-
BICHI on the ground that he was the
nominee of ring who have boasted
that they, ,and not the people, were the
managers and controllers of the mu-
nicipal affairs of this city. We have
made this charge on the ground that


the ring have admitted him as their
candidate, that he is SO recognized
and spoken of by all, that they are


using their money and Influence to Sc
! cure his election, and that he is in


nightly conference with the managers
of that ring. We oppose the election
of the rings municipal candidate, be-
cause with municipal officers they are
able to control, the ring will seek their
own profit at the expense of the peo-
pie and the sacrifice of much private
property. They will defy the law re-
quiring the creation of q Board
| of Water Commissioners, and there
| by maintain the present or still
more increcsea- -syNter rotan---Thayr


will obtain possession of more


city property, they will close


up public streets, they will destroy a
large amount of private property on
the side of, and along the base of Fort
Hill by erecting a reservoir on the sum-


NIT of that hill; they will secure the
unconditional privilege of construct
ing long flume through and over pri-
vate property, to, the serious injury OF
that property, and they will endeavoi
to destroy the system of water works
which now convey an abundance OF
| water on the high lands on the north


west side ofthe river. More than this
the election of Mr.. SABICHI will inau-
gurate scheme for turning the water
from several zanjas owsupplying the
! gardens and vineyards in the western
part of the city to the eastern side OF
the rivera measure calculated to
work immense damage to the residents
of the western half of the city. For
these reasons, and none other, the
HERALD is opposed to the election OF
| Mr.. SABICHI. He will owe his defeat
to the fact that he has permitted him.
self to become the instrument of q ring
and not the candidate of the people,
and to the, pledges he has made. to
carry out measures for the benefit of a
| few individuals and to the injury OF
the masses. The HERALD advocates
the election of Mr.. BEAUDRY because
it believes him to be the only candi-
date who will stand between the peo-
pie and the aggressions of those who
care little how great they may oppress
the many so the few are enriched OF
his integrity as man and worth as q
citizen, we are assured by the people
of Los Angeles, with whom he has
lived and been Intimately associated
for the past twenty-five years, and
this opinion is endorsed by the very
journals that interest is now causing
to denounce him for everything that
is vile He is an active, enterprising,
liberal, live citizen He is so closely
Identified with Los Angeles that her
interests are his. No better evidence
need be required that Mr.. BEAUDRY is
a man of the people, standing with
and fighting for them, than that he is
opposed by every ring, exclusive fran
chise corporation and subsidy schemer
in the city. He has by expending his
own means greatly enhanced the value
of property in this. city. He has made
