THE SPEECH THAT DID THE
BUSG NESS.

garbled conclusion Of the speech deliv
cred by Kalloch in his church on the
nigh. of Aug. ed that proved the cause
Of his shooting by De Young on the fol-
lowing morning. II it Is not scorcher
.ni terror we don't know what is in
that line:
Since have lived and labored in this
city. my personal and business conduct
is open 10 the inspection Of It's citizens
/ do no. propose at the present time te
further review the record. or fight the
battles Of the last thirty years. / sub
NIT this simple statement as sufficient
refutation ia the minds OF all honorable
men and women OF the cruel, cowardly
and ca!umnious efforts Of the San Fran
cisco Chroaic!e 10 defeat me. But If
that paper supposes 1t ls 10 turn the
from the aggressive character Of tins
campaign. into Iefutation OF Its false
and s.anderous statements against NE,

the defensive in this fight. The Chinese.

fendants and do not at this stage Of
the game intend to change places with
them. [ApplauseI My business now

had the ammunition In the pigeon holes
OF the Chronicle u destroy me, both as
politician and preacher. aud that he
should enter upon his murdarous work
the next morning. l heard the man
through, and put my mouth to his ear

Tumultuous applause l went back

cent person-to see the destructive con-
tents of it's pigeon holes poured upon
