is at present out Of the city. Kearney has
been sent for and will arrive in the city late
this afternoon. Great fears are entertained
for the peace of the city during the coming
night and every preparation Is being made to
suppress violence. Public sentiment seems
heavily to run against De Young, partly on
account of the manner of lis attack, giving
his victim no chance for defence or escape,
and partly because the Chronicle in its as
saults Upon Kellock has been abusive beyond
all precedent in political campaigns. At two
o'clock Kalloch was reported asleep and rest
ing easily.
Matters down town have become rather
more quiet within the last hour, the great
body of workingmen having gone out to the
Sand Lots to attend a meeting. The Grand
Army VI the Republic has been ordered to
assemble to assist in preserving the peace.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The circum-
stances leading to the shooting of Kalloch by
Charles De Young, are as follows: After
kalloch was nominated by the W~orkingmen
of the city as their candidate for Mayor,
Charles De Young in a speech at a conven.
ton of the Honorable Bilks, announced that
he would compel Kalloch's withdi avail fiom
the contest. Subsequently he notified Kali
loch that unless he Withdrew he would rake
up his record in the columns of the Chronicle.

that he could tell more things about the De
Youngs than they could bring against him.
On Wednesday last the Chronicle came out
with a long article reviewing Kalloch's career
in Boston and Kansas, dwelling particularly
on his amours, and also ventilating his politi-
cal and business record. Thursdays and Fri
days Chronicle contained similar and more
elaborated articles, and dragged in Kalloch's
father, now dead, recounting sundry immor-
alities Oil his part.
Kallock had advertised a mass meeting at
the Metropolitan Temple last night, at which
it was given out he would read a copy of an
article published some five years ago by B. F.
Napthali in a little paper called the Sun,
This article was an attack upon the persona,
and family record of the De Youngs of q
most pronounced character, and led to an at.
tempt on their part to kill Napthali, which
failed. The De Younes sent Kalloch wore
that if he read that article they would shoe
him on sight.
Last night an immense audience gathered
at the Metropolitan Temple, and the stree
outside was packed with a crowd numbering
thousands. Kalloch addressed the indoo
meeting, securing the De YoIngs mecilessly
and rejecting on their personal record AIT
family antecedents in q direct manner.
After adjourning the meeting in the hall h
went outside, mounted a stand and spoke
Directly after reviewing the attacks of tn
Chronicle upon himself, he said: "In ma
ligning the reputation of my father who ha
filled an honorable grave for many years
these journal vipers have rendered the mos
vicious retaliation on my part necessary an
justifiable. Their disgraceful records mad
such all attack possible, and I justified in pre-
%nouncing them the bastard progeny ola.
