il. Charles DeYOung evidently con-
sidered the proceedings OF the evening
equal prOVOcatiOn To the actual readlhg
OF the article, and acted accordingly,
In accordance with notices posted on
the streets, the Workingmen assembled
in immense numbers at the SAND Lots,
and by > O'Clock, Notwithstanding the
crowds gathered on the streets, over
10000 excited men were gathered around
the rude roStrum, shouting, curslng ana
calling for the blood of kalloch's asSas-
sin. Clitus Barbour took the stand and
addressed the meeting, earnestly urgIng
the workingmen TO await the arrival of
Kearney before taking further steps.
The crowd, however, were more eager
for action, and listened with a bad grace
10 all arguments tending to delay their
vengeance. Barbour continued, dwell
inc on the fact that they were unOrgan-
lied. and in no condition to cope with
the police and military. In reply the
crowd demanded 10 be led at once down
town To hang DeYOung and demolish the
Chr,njrLs office. Barbour informed them
that presidents of ward clubs were in
session. and had decided to wait the ar
rival Of Kearney, but that If kalloch
died they were fully determined 10 hang
DeNOung without delay. Tremendous
cheers greeted the announcement.
Wright, yice-president OF the party,
addressed the crowd in the same strain.
\ dispatch from Kearney was read,
stating that he would be down from
Vallejo by the s P. VI. boat, and asking
that a committee be sent to Vallejo
Ill Af fhn
ditiOn of affairs on the way down, and
that any action be delayed till his ar
rival.
Flynn, secretary of the party, read
message from KallOCh cOunsellng the
meeting to be moderate and wait for
Kearneys arrival The candidate OF the
party for Acknowledgement, who hap
pened 10 be in town, also COunseled
moderate measures.
Stephen Maybell, who has been
prominent at the sand Lots heretofore,
attempted 20 excite the too ready crowd
10 violence, but was suppressed by those
on the stand, although the crowd was
with Maybell, and clamored wildly that
he be heard. Other speakers sought to
quiet the people, assuring that in case
kalloch's wounds proved fatal sum-
mary vengeance should be taken.
Arrival of Kearney
Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat
this evening. At the wharf he was met
bv crowd Of several thousand, who
received the leader with an almost
frantic exhibition OF JOY. Three work
ingmen's military companies, number
ing sixty men each, with rifles and fixed
bayOnets, were on hand rs an escort.
With Kearney at their head, the pro-
cession moved up Market street, EN-
route to the Sand Lots, filling the street
for several blocks and making the air
ring with cheers for kearney and cries OF
Hang DeYoung.'
The procession on the way to the Sand
Lots stopped at the Workingmen's
headquarters on Market street near
Fifth, where the ward presidents are in
session. kearney entered the building
and Joined the ward presidents. The
crowd gathered around, blocking up the
street. The entrance was guarded by
sentinels with fixed bayOnetS and no one
was admitted without the cOuntersign.
IL was announced from a window that
nothing would be done without due de-
liberation, but that vengeance would be
taken. No reporters were admitted and
the nature OF the deliberations are un-
known.
The evening journals counsel, above
all things, moderation on thepart OF the
wOrklngmen for the credit OF the city,
and also for their own sake, on account
OF the bearing Of their action on the re-
sult OF the present campaign. The But.
lstin SAYS. in effect, that the shooting
was deliberate assassination; reminds
its readers that twenty-three years ago
the people OF the city hanged man who
killed an editor who dared express his
convictions, but that now the law OF So
ciety seems To be that the editor may
say what he pleases, but il the assaulted
party talks, his life is 10 be forfeited. 1t
warns the workingruen that the course
they pursue will be the best evidence Oi
their ability 20 administer tho affairs OF
the city, and that resort 10 violence
would be a fatal mistake.
At $50 o'clock P. NJ. kallOch is i'll
much improved condition. \ slight eX-
animation has been made and the ply
siciars expressed the opinion that there
was good ground for expecting his re-
COvery. The tragedy almost paralyzed
business during the day. Telegramsarc
pouring in from all over the State in
Uuirins a. to the condition Ot affairs,
and almost equal the interest reported
from Nevada The feeling OF the COM
munity is with kallOch. De GOung's
action is universally branded rs a cold
bloolcd murder, and the belief IL gen

event Of kallach's death, demand
the surrender of De Young
for lynch justice, that outside of the law
FULLY constituted authorities not hand
would be raised 10 prevent the consum-
nation of their desires. IL is evident
from the expressions heard on every
side that whatever NAV he the result OF
kalloch's wound, the affair will prove
the death blow 10 the CauS OF the Hon
orablr BllkS I'm this city. III kallOch re-
covers. he Is likely TO receive vote
much greater than would otherwise have
been given him. Iihc dies the detection
from the Honorable Giiks, is likely to be
still greater, but in that case the Repub-
GCans will probably profit 70 some cI--
tent. Ii - difficult % say what the effect
win be in the interior, but il can hardly
fail To be disastrous 10 the Honorable
Bilks. Tho Chronicle has been the head
and front Of that organization.
