Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-08-26
CALIFORNIA.


Vallejo, last night, addressed q
crowd of twenty thousand people in
the Sand lots. The vindictive feel
ing which prevailed during the day
had apparently in no wise dimin-
ished, and at q word from Kearney
the whole body would have poured
down town without hesitation to
wreak vengeance on the DeYoungs.
Kearney realized the situation fully
and addressed himself to the task
Of quieting the passions of his fol-
lowers, he reminded them that in
ten days the election would
put the whole, machinery Of
the city government in their
hands, and that the proprietors of
the Chronicle would unfailingly get
their deserts |; that at present any
attempt at violence, would be met
by the reyolvers of the police, and
the rifles and the Gatling guns Of
the military, and that the game was
not worth the shedding of
the blood of one honest man.
He adjured them by their regard
for their reputation throughout the
country to do mo violence, but to
disperse quietly to their homes. He
announced that Tomorrow after
noon he would meet them on the
Sandslots, and that in the mean
time he weuld inquiee more fully
into the state of affairs, and would
then, he believed, be able to show
them how to dispose of the mat
ter with credit to themselves.
Never was Kearney's boundless
influence over his followers .ex-
hibited to better advantage. AL
though the vast crowd were howing
for the blood of the DeYoungs,
they yielded implicitly to his ad-
vice, and when he dismissed them,
they surged away in, various -direc-
tions, evidently prepared to follow
his advice to the letter. daEuTs'f
Shortly after midnight last night
half of the police force were re-
lieved from duty, the remainder
staying at the Station, except thirty,
who were detailed to- guard the
Chronicle Office and some other
points. The military also dlsbanded,
with the exception of detail at
each armory. The streets were
quiet throughout the night, and the
crowd went home, with the excep-
ton Of two or three hundred
men, who remained in front
of the Station. It was
rumored at 2 a. m. that Mr.. Kal-
lOch was sinking, and would not,
perhaps, live till morning.
M. II. DeYoung, in an interview
with reporter of the Alta -Cali-
for,sias, said that the offensive state
ment in the Chronicle with regard
to Kalloch's family history, which
provoked Kalloch to retaliation,
came to them by telegraph from
Boston at 1850 in the morning, in
the absence of both himself and his
brother, and was published withou,
their knowledge. Having made it.
however, they determided to stand
to it. He said, furthermore, "Kal-
loch might have known he could moi
60 upon . public platform and ira,
duce our mother and family without
stern and bitter retribution
He knew he took his
life in his hands when he spoke
as he did. My brother simply
acted as any man would have acted
who had any spark Of manhood
about hin" ;" Theemorning papers
comment severely upon the general
course and management of the De.
Youngs' journal. The Call says
that the Obronicle has long had 8
detective agency which has flieG
the pigeon holes Of its Office with
material to be used to extort money
or pull down men who would not b.
blackmailed. It has sboasted o.
its ability to kill any man whom il
did not like. No other community
in America, probably, has beenso dis
graced and despoiled by public
journal as this. The Alta-Casitfo for
'sian says that the Chronicle has
been assaulting the characters and
regulations of men, women ant
girls in this city for years, an(
charges the responsibility thereo
upon the public which has giver
such q paper patronage.. closes
by saying: " The course of the
Chronicle has been demoralizing, in,
decent and Infamous"
