ments from the Pulpit an .
The leaders of the Workingmen' IS
party neld conference with Mr.. Kal.
loch's medical attendants yesterday. to
consider the expediency of putting mp
some other man for Mayor. The ply
siciai.a informed them that at present
they -aw nothing in the condition OF
Mr.. kalloch to render such course ne,
cessary, intimating the probability OF
his early recovery.
ChaIles De Young was taken before
the police court to-day, aud waving ex
animation, was held to answer TO the
charge of assault, vita intent to kill,
without bail.
This afternoon decided change for
the better was noticeable in the con-
dition of Mr.. Kalloch, as result OF
which, his physicians express the
opinion that there is str.ng proba-
bility of bis recovery. Notwitbstand
ing these favorable symptoms, there is
still good deal of talk among the
workiDgmen as to the course to be pur.
sued in the event of fatal termination
of the shooting. Among the rank and
file there is a strong desire visible to
put up Kearney for Mayor should a
change be necessary, but the desire is
shared neither by the agitator nor his
friends, and it may be considered ce,
tain that nothing OF the kind will te
done. At the police station vigilance
has been relaxed during the day, and
only few officers are on duty, with a
few militiamen and workingmen' 5
specials, the latter being sworn in for
the purpose of making sure that De
Young is not spirited away.
The story Of the American District
Telegraph boy, who rode in the coupe
with De Young, is as follows: when
we arrived at the Metropolitan Temple,
Mr.. De Young peeped through the cur
tain of the rear window of the coupe
and said, 'You see that man with the
white ulster on; tell him that lady in
the coupe wants to See him. went.
The gentleman in the ulster was in the
buggy, accompanied by another man,
and was in the act of picking up the
rein when l delivered Mr.. De Young's
message. He at once stepped down and
approached the coupe cautiously, as il
he anticipated something wrong, peer
ing sideways at the window of the
coupe. When he reached the coupe the
shot was fired, which SO frightened me
that ran as fast as | could back to
the Office"
Considerable prominence was given
to the shooting of Mr.. Kalloch in the
city pulpits yesterday. Rev. W. 4.
Ijams, OF the Green Street Congrega-
tional Church, treated it at length. His
general conclusions were that kalloch,
whatever his faults might be, was a
man of generous impulses; that the at
tack upon him was cruel and cowardly,
and that the "Chronicle" has flourish
ed in this city is evidence of low
stage of civilization.
Rev. Horatio Stebbins, of the First
Unitarian Church, formulated the idea
that society was disgraced by want Of
dignity of mind and strength of heart
on the part of both the preacher and
publisher, who heaped abuse upon each
other until the truth of it gets beyond
endurance, when one retaliates with
the assassin's hand for what he could
not bear in the same kind he had
given.
Rev..C. M. Briggs, of the Howard
Street Methodist Church, said De
Young's deed showed an underlying
current of immortality in society much
to be deprecated. Kalloch and De
Young were not the representatives Of
parties or principles. Their quarrel was
pur ly personal.
From various points in the interior
come expressions of private and public
opinion condemning the De Youngs for
the course pursued by the "Chronicle," !"
and the subsequent attack on Kalloch
Similar reports come from Oregon and
Nevada.
The "Call' this morning compliments
the Working Men for their moderate
action, and Kearney for his prudent
course.
The Alta" further considers the
tragedy, aud emphasizes itsiprevious
condemnation of De Young.
The Chronicle claims its articles
against kalloch were published from a
sense of duty and repeats in substance
the IDEAS conveyed in yesterdays arti
. Gle. It holds out the idea that if the
election should result in the Working
M.n' success, there will he no peace
but such as is agreeable to the mob,
who mean nothing less than rpvoln-
tiOu.
