JUDGE TERRY'S PAMPHLET.

Severe Denunciation of Justice Field and
His Presidential Aspirations.
SAN FRANcIsco, March 23.-The PAM
phlet found in the residence of the late
Judge David s. Terry was made public
yesterday. Much space is given in the
pamphlet TO that phase of democratic
politics preceding the Stockton conven-
tlon at which Justice Fields aspirations
for the presidential nomination were
repud:ated by the democracy of this
state. Terry quotes names of twenty
two counties that instructed delegates
against Field. All other counties IN
dorsed Stoneman's extra session, which
was practically blow at Justice Field.
A letter from John +. Godfrey to
Stephen J. Field Is also quoted in which
the writer used the following languages:
"You will permit me to say that your
acts as Judge have been uniformly in
the interest of street railroad and
other corporations of this state rs far
as the knowledge of the people is Con-
cerned, and you will also permit me to
say that, whether right Or wrong, every
judicial act of yours fer the last ten
years has been contrary to the wishes
OF the people of this state expressed in
its political action and legislative
enactments on the Chinese question
until you posed tor the presidency 10
1884.
"Now,.in CONCLUSION, let me say that
circumstances have placed you IN high
position. Circumstances placed Tweed,
Shepherd. Jeffrles. Oates and others In
high positions. They all OF them
acted in the interest of tyranny; they
were all corrupt; they were all towards,
and were all infamous. They at least
had a sort of virtue-vrtue to be what
they appeared. But you, cir, have not
even this quality.
