THAT HORSE THIEF APPOINTMENT.
CP. Judd's appointments special agent
of the Labor Bureau of Statistics was brought
about by Republicans. Senators Teller and
Bowen and ex-senator ehilicott seem to have
been his heaviest hackers. Judd has recently
been arrested for horse stealing, and as al
ready extensively announced by Republican
newspapers, who thought that Judd was
Democrat has served a term or two in the
penitentiary for the same offense. The
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Times sounded the true inwardness OF this
Judd appointment. He telegrrphs his paper
that there had not been strike in Colorado
for years that Judd had not "gotten up nor
an election that he had not offered the vote
of the Labor League for money to both sides.
As soon as the news of Judd's appointment
reached Colorado r z. Goodell of that
State, wrote to Commissioner Sparks, saying
that he couldn't possibly see what indOrse-
ments Judd could have secured in Colorado,
and inclosing newspaper clipping intimat-
ing that Judd had several times been Inc
The letter was referred TO Secre-
tary Lamar, who sent it to Com
missioner Wright for explanation. In
reply to this Colonel Wright replied by letter
to Secretary Lamar, in which he said:
''Charles p Judd, of Leadville, Col, was
recommended to Colonel Wright by that dis
tinguished Republican Senator and ex-Secre-
tary Teller; by J. s. Bauer, a clerk in the
Adjutant Generals office, who spoke Of him
as man of character and intelligence, and
cheerfully recommended HIM; by Congress
man Rowell, of Illinois, under date of Feb
ruary Is, 1885, who said he had known Mr..
Judd for many years, and believed him to be
particularly qualified for efficient work in
the Bureau of Labor and he took great pleas
ure in recommending Mr.. c. 7. Judd, OF
Colorado. Judd was also recommended to
Colonel Wright by Senator Thomas NJ. Bowen
in letter dated in the Senate chamber Feb
ruary 10, in which he said that he had known
Judd seven or eight years, and that he was
an earnest, honest advocate of reform, and
was beloved and respected by the workmen
of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and
Illinois, and he was entirely worthy of their
confidence.
Lee Crandall, editor of labor organ IN
Washington-continues the Times CORE
spondent-wrote that Judd had devoted his
manhood to the best industrial people of
our country, and gladly recommended him
to a position in the Labor Bureau. Mr..
Judd is also set forth as the founder of the
Labor League of America, and was recon-
mended for Commissioner of the Labor
Bureau by ex-senator A. NJ. Chilcott IRE
publiean), of Denver, Col, who wrote to
Judd: cit does seem strange that you can
not get your appointment with all your back
| ing. If you were here You could get all the
backing in the State" Mr.. John NJ. Ray
mond, of Leadville, Col, year ago this
month wrote the President (Arthur) urging
| Judds appointment as Commissioner of the
Labor Bureau, and described Mr.. Judd's
brilliant military experience. Judge George
Goldthwait, Judge of .one of the Courts of
| Lake County, Colorado wrote to President
elect Cleveland last December saying

and that he conscientious, honest, cap
able man, and that any position he should
occupy would be public trust He recon-
mended him highly ms laboring man. l..
| S. Moore, Assistant Treasurer of the Labor
League, writing from st. Louis, December 8,
1854, urged Mr.. Judd to secure the appoint
ment of Commissioner of Labor, and Mr..
| Leland w. Green, No. sos Mound street, ST.
| Louis, in a letter of August 4, 1854, urged

| County, Kan, under date of January "a, 1885,
wrote TO Mr.. Judd that he had written to Mr.
! Cleveland urging Judd's appointment as
! Commissioner of Labor
Colonel Wright added that he had stopped
in Colorado and instituted more searching
inquiry relative to Judd, the results of which
would be promptly laid before the Secretary.
The Colonel was evidently satisfied that Judd
was all right. More recently the Secretary
received the following letter:
SOUTH PUEBLO. Col, July .. 1855.
