Peculiar election result

Regarding the peculiar result of the 1867 election, in which the winners (or perhaps just most of them) were turned out of office after only a few months, well, I checked the microfilm of the Los Angeles Semi-Weekly Daily News for several dates in August 1867 (which is when the Common Council is supposed to have annulled the election), and I found nothing at all reporting on this action. I might note that the newspaper appears to have been more like a "'shopper" than a regular community newspaper, and it is virtually useless in covering city politics of that era. Its columns were filled with pickups from other papers and with propaganda for the Democratic Party of those days (pro-South, anti-Negro). One could conceivably find out more about this election fiasco by delving into the city archives, but of course that would be Original Research. There are no other newspaper files extant in the LAPL for those years. Sincerely,

Blue links . . .

I've been linking only the Notable members of the councils. Notability includes being the president of the council as well as all the other ways to get Notable. Non-Notable members shouldn't get links, even red ones, in my opinion. Thank you. Sincerely,

These are the names that have been checked with no reliable sources found to demonstrate their notability. Sincerely,

William P. Lawlor

This may be the same William P. Lawlor who became a justice of the California Supreme Court, but there are no sources. The only source on his page says he moved to California in 1877, so it is possible he stood for election in Los Angeles in 1878. I am leaving the link to

Missing year, 1855

The year 1855 is missing. When it is added, all the entries therein should be adjusted to account for any restored info.
