TICLE WHICH THE CHRONICLE PRINTS TODAY
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEL
SAN Francisco. Aug. 26-Public interest in the
assault on the Rev. Isaac S. KaOch and the strife
which preceded it, continues unabated Tomorrow
Charles De Youngs journal. The Chronicle will pub
ish the following article, which fresh details are
brought to light:
"The causes which led to the shooting Of |. s.
Kalloch by Charles De Young have been stated ID
p so many ways by the newspapers Of the city, and
argued with so much prejudice against the latter
by partisan enemies that the true and real issues
are lost sight of. In simple justice to Mr.
De Young The Chronicle desires TO give the
public what IL deems TO be true statement OF the
whole matter. The first question asked
by everyone is, was the coarse and bru-
tai attack on female members of the De
Young household justified by anything that
had appeared in The Chronicle. Mr. Kalloch wished
10 be Mayor of San Francisco; The Chronicle did
not think him tit for the position. 1t supposed itself
to be IN possession OF proof that he was hcenhous
t. a notorious degree. fugitive debtor. and pre-
tender to various virtues which did not adOrn his
character 1t printed an article written by gentle
man in Boston familiar with KallOchs history. who
strengthened his memory and enforced his aSSoca-
tOns with quotations from court records and news
paper articles printed at the time of the reverend
geutlemar's misdeeds. A close consideration OF the
facts. considering that Kalloch a candidate for
an important Office justified the publicity they
ceiyed.
''KalOch's friends, 1t will be remembered, have
never justified his brutal attack on the mother of
the De Youngs except the ground that the Boston
record of his misdoings contained an attack on
Kallocb's father. The following is the paragraph
alluded to; will any fair-minded reader say after
perusing it that in its quiet tone it bears the slight
est resemblance to the torrent of billiugsgate
poured out from an impure soul against the mother
Of Charles De YOungi
While he KalIochl at college his father became
TOO familiar with sisters Of the hock over which ne

'This is all and nothing more Would this justify
even allowing its full force such TRADE of ytuper-
alton. such a volume of foul Obscenity as emin-
ared from the Rev. j. ). KallOch at the AletTOpOi-
tan Temple last Friday eveninGi But a minute
examination Of the series OF facts which led TO the
tragic occurrence proves Kaloch's excuse that he
was defending the memory of his father to
have been a himsy preteXt and that he
had III reality resolved to say all that he did,
at last fully week before he made his intemperate
horangue. The allusion to the father of Kalloch
was made on Friday morning August 22. The
Weelly open Letter is a WorlIngman's paper, pub
lsled every Sunday morning by The open Letter
Publishing Company. It's editorial page bears the
following legend: Editorial rooms and publication
Office corner Fifth and Jessie-sts.' Kalloch is the
reputed editor Of the paper. 1t is published in his
building Nothing in reference TO himself has ever
appeared IN 1t without hls knowledge and approval.
The number which bears date August II, one week
before he made his speech, contained this para

at that time the Boston dispatch in which allu-
sions to Kalloch's father were made had not even
taken shape in the brain of ats author, yet Kaloch
n week before he could have known even sus-
pected that his father was TO be alluded TO, had
with true tilial foresight and a noble disregard of
pulpit deceucy, resolved to defend him. Was ever
son before inspired with true a spirit of prOph-
ecyG There were other persons, it appears, in the
city that knew Kalloch intended to defame Charles
DE Y0ungs mother two three days at least before
he actually achieved that nfamy. The following
article appeared in The Bulletin the afternoon Of
Thursday the 21st instant.
VIyIsFCTIOS.-We aie Informed on good authority
that persons interested IN the subject OF Yysecon win
have the pleasure Of seeing that operation performed or
Do Young by DR. Kal!Och in the Metropolitan iIen
ple tomorrow evening.
What could have been the good authority to
which Tfe Bulletin alluded Not its own news
gaberers certainly IL was somebody outside The
Bulletin office and who should that person outside
The Bulletin office have been except KallOch him
self The Bulletin then knew before the Boston
article in which alluson made 10 kal-
locks father was received at The Chronicle
office, for 1t did not come to hand until an
early hour on Friday morning, that kaOch was
gong to attack Charles DE Youngs mother, and
approved of it, That Kaiocb had absolutely decided
70 make the attack before any one in The
Chronicle Office even suspected that his father
was going to be alluded TO- seems TO be
susceptible of convincing proof. The Daily
