menae audience against the charges of thirty
years of immortality preferred against him by
the Ch,onicle. He said, those charges were re-
vlved by Charles and Mike De Young, two has.

THE NATURE OF THE INJURIES.
Kalloch is shot through the left lung. inst
above the heart. The physicians say with hi.
strong constitution there is bare possibility
of his recovery. The military are under arms
and the police are on duty in the event of
disturbance.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 23.-The circumstances
leading to the shooting Of Kalloch by Charles
De Young are as follows: After Kslloch was
nominated by the workingmen of the city "a
their candidate for mi Ghar1oo Ia

able Bilks, announced that he would compel
kalloch to Withdraw from the contest. Subse-
quently he notified Kalloch through the col
umns of the Chronicle. Kalloch sent back
word Tor him to go ahead; that he could tell
worse things about the De Youngs than they
could bring against him. Wednesday last the
Chronicle came out with a long article review
halloch's career in Boston and Kansas, dwell
ing particularly on his reported amours, and
also ventilating his political and business
record. Thursday and Friday the Chronicle
contained similar and more elaborate articles.

After reviewing the attacks of the Chronicle
upon himself, he said: I'm maligning the
reputation of my father. who has filled an hon

vlpers have rendered q most vicious retaliation
on my part necessary and justifable. These

Chas. De Young evidently considered the pro.
ceedings of the meeting equal provocation to
the actual reading of the article, and acted ac-
cordingly.
PRESS OPINIONS.
The evening journals counsel above all
things moderation on the part of the working
men for the credit of the city and also for their
own sake, on account of the bearings of their
action on the result of the present campaign.
The Bulletin says in effect that the shooting
was deliberate assassination and reminds the
reader that twenty-three years ago the people
OF the city hanged man who killed an editor
who dared to express his convictions, but that
now the law of society seems to be that an
editor may say what he pleases, but If the as
saulted party talks his life is to be forfeited.
but warns the workingmen that the course
they pursue will be the best evidence of their
ability to administer the affairs of the city. and
that resort to violence would be fatal mis-
take.
THE PATIENT.
At $3.50 o'clock P. M. Kalloch is in a much i'm.
proved condition. slight examination has
been made and physicians expressed the opin-
ion that there is good ground for expecting his
recovery. The tragedy has almost paralyzed
business during the day. Telegrams are pour

ing 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 Kalloch's death demand the surrender
of De Young for lynch justice, that outside of
the lawfully constituted authorities not hand
would be raised to prevent the contamination
of their desires. 1t is evident from the ex-
pressions heard on every side that whatever the

ls likely to receive vote much greater than
would have been given had nothing of the kind
occurred. If he dies, the detection from the
H. B. 8 is likely to be still greater, but in that
case the Republicans will probably profit to
some extent. It is difficult to say What the
effect will be in the interior, but it can hardly
fail to be disastrous to the 81. BIS. The
Chronicle has been the head and front of that
organization.
Kearney arrived ON the Vallejo boat this
evening. At the wharf he was met by a crowd of
several thousands, who received the leader !.
with an almost frantic exhibition of 10Y. Three
of the working mems military companies,
numbering 16O men, with rifles and fixed bay-
onets, were on hand rs an escort. With Kear-
ney at the head the procession moved up
