kalloch has been abusive beyond all
precedent in political campaigns,

The circumstances leading IL the
shooting of kalloch by Charles De
Young are rs follows After kallooh
was nominated by the workincmen of
the city as their candidate for mayer,
Charles De Young in speech at the
state convention, announced that he
would compel kallochS withdrawal
from the contest, and subsequently so
notified ksiloeh in the columns of
the Chronicle kalloch sent back
word for him to so ahead, that
he could tell worse things about
the DeGoung'S than they could bring
against him. " ednesday last the
Chronicle came out with long article,
reviewing kalloch's career in Boston
and Kansas, dwelling particularly on
his reported amourS, also yentilating
his political crookednesS as recorded.
Thursday and Friday the Chfoncioe con.
tanned similar and more elaborate
articles, and dragged i'll Kalloch's father,
now dead, recountiug sundry immor-
alities on his part. kalloch had
advertised mass meeting at the
Metropolitan Temple last night, at
which it was given out he would read n
copy of the article published some five
years ago by Il. +. Napthaly, in little
paper called the San. This article was
IN attack upon the personal and family
record Of the De lounss, of the most
pronounced character, and ct an at
tempt on their part to kill Napthaly,
which failed. The De Youngs sent
kalloch word if he read that article
they would shoot him on sight. Last
night an immense audience gathered
at the Metropolitan Temple and the
street outside was packed with crowd
numbering thousands. kalloch adj
dressed the indoor me citing, scoring
the De 1oungs mercileSsly, and reflect
ing on their personal record and
family antecedents III The most
direct manner. After adjoining
meeting, he went outside, mounted n
stand and smoke briefly. After review
ing the attacks of the Chronicle upon
himself he said: In maliguing the
reputation of my father who has filled
an honorable grave for many years,
those journalistic vipers have
rendered the most vicious re-
taliation on my part necessary and
iustitlable. Their disgracefu records
make such an attack possible, and |
am justified i'll pronouncing them the
bastard progenes of u prostitute. He
said he had the Suns article i'll his
pocket, (cries OF read it, read it!'( but
did not wish to to expend all his
ammunition at once. 1t would be
published Immediately in full
in the workingmens paper-7hc Open
Let,r-and next Thursday evening he
would take II up and comment upon it.
Cnas. De Young evidently considered
the proceedings of the meeting in
equal provoCation to actuate the read
ing of the article, and acted according
ly.
THE TONE OF THE PRESS.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 23.-Tho even
ing Journals counsel, above all things,
moderation on the part Of the work
ingmen for the credit of the city, and
also for their own sake, OH account OF
the bearings Of their action on the re-
suit of the present campaign.
The Bnlsfilt says III effect that the
shooting was deliberate assassination;
reminds the reader that twenty-three
years ago the people of the city
hanged man who killed an
editor who dared not express
his convictions but that now the law OF
society seems TO be that an editor may
say what lie pleases but if assaulted,
his life is to be forfeited but warns the
workingmen that the course they pur.
sue will be the best evidence of their
ability to administer the affairs of the
city and that to resort to violence would
be fatal mistake.
CONDITION OF KALLoCH.
AZ $50 o'clock, y. M, kalloch ia
much improved in condition. A slight
examination has been made, and the
physicians expressed the opinion tina
there is good ground for expecting his
recovery. The tragedy has almost
PARALlZED BUSINESS
during the day. kilograms are pouring
in from all quarters OF the state, in
curing as to the condition Of affairs,
and almost equal interest is reported
from Nevada. The workingmen are
hanging about Sand Lots" waiting
kearneys arrival, which is anticipated
with the greatest interest, as almost
everything will depend upon the course
he concludes 10 take
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-As far as
can at present be learned, the feeling
of the community is almost entirely
with Kalloch. De Young's action is
universally branded as cold blooded
assassination, and the belief is general,
that if the workingmen, in the event OF
kaIlock's death, demand the surrender
OF De Young for
LYNCH JUSTICE,
that outside OF legally constituted
authorities no hand wonld be raised to
prevent the contamination Of their deci.
sion. 1t is evident from expressions
heard on every side that what ever is
the result of kalloch's wounds, the af-
fair will prove the death blow to the
cause Of the Hon. Bikes in this city.
If Kallock RECEIVERS, he will receive a
vote much greater than would have
been given had nothing 81 the kind oc-
Cured.
