JUSTICE FIELD's CANDIDACY.
Tho Nature of tho Opposition In Call
fOrni,A-Mis lnuifrercnce,

WAsnISGroS, D. O., June 1.-THE Post
tomorrow will print al interview with
Representative Money, Of Mississippi,
concerning the Presidential candidacy Of
Justice Field and the views Of the latter
with regard to tho recent action Of the
California State Convention Ut Stockton.
The most important pa,u Of the interview
are as follows:
Learning that Representative II. D..
Money, who Was one Of Tilden's most
efficient managers in the South in 1876, was
very close 10 Judge Field, a Post reporter
called on Mr.. Money for the purpose oi as
certaining what were Mr.. Tilden's views
respecting tho action OF the Democratic
State convention Of California and the ed.
isorial from the Alta Californian recently
telegraphed East by the Associated Press.
Mr.. Money said he had jrat returned
from visit 10 Judge Field, and had dis
cusssd the Alta editorial and tho action OF
the California Convention, and that Judge
Field had expressed himself substantially
to this effect: ~. z
There is a radical element in California
politics that slarns the conservative men
in that SAFE without regard to party or.
yanization as dangerous to the right Of
property. l have never swerved from
my. duty to pander to that ele-
ment, which ia therefore hostile
to me, but politicians have done
so and this ia the secret ot the resolutions
which have been aimed at me-. This Gle.
ment does not constitute. a msjority Of the
Democratic party OF California, but is large
enough 10 intimida.e its organization. This
element resented Judicial decisions oil
mine, not one OF which would l retract to
receive the nomination. Therefore the
action Of the California Convention is no
surprise or disappointment to me. Mos.
atsuredly I have not deserved any support
which was not the result Of an
open and frank appeal to public
opinion, and as you know l said
months ago, that / did not expect to re-
ceive this support and it wss 80 stated in
the public prints. I have not s3ught the
nomination, aud if l have allowed my
name to be used it was in deierence OF The
