Show 1 BETRAYED AGAIN i t f f President Cleveland off on his summer sum-mer vacation and will certainly need it 1 to recuperate his patience if not his l strength The telegrams announce that I one C P Judd who was appointed special spec-ial agent of the of the National Labor Bureau I i Bu-reau of Nevada by the President on the t I 16th of May last has been brought to Denver on a warrant charging him with horsestealing The telegram announcing announc-ing this says that Judd has drawn up a statement in which he admits his guilt r and the fact that he has served a term in J Kan the penitentiary at Leavenworth sas He also claims that his application appli-cation for a Government position was i signed by several well known Colorado Democrats Such a showing is not calculated calcu-lated to please the President nor to give any additional strength to recommendations 4 recommenda-tions of applicants for appointment to j office That it is an utter impossibility for the President or the Secretaries of the I i various Departments to personally know all the applicants for office their character char-acter and fitness all recognize That such appointments as that of Judd are possible shows that there is a grave deject t de-ject in the method of appointment J X Doubtless Judd wag recommended because be-cause of some party service and the President relying upon the character of those making the recommendation made the appointment as asked Those who i should have been the true friends of Cleveland and the Government have prostituted their influence and betrayed the confidence of the President 1 Only so lately as the first instant in-stant the President found it necessary neces-sary to censure and condemn in > strong terms a man who had imposed upon him by signing the petition for office of a person totally unfit for any place of trust or profit and who when he saw that a place had been given this person wrote a letter to the President saying that I the man was totally unfit for the office j i and that he had signed his petition for It J forms sake and to get rid of being importuned im-portuned That unfit men should be able to find place through such deceitful I methods is humiliating to the entire people I peo-ple and most exasperating to the President Presi-dent This caso of Judd is the most flagrant flag-rant outrage that has yet been perpetrated perpe-trated upon the Administration and all classes will sympathize with Cleveland in this base betrayal If men are to bo recommended for office it behooves the party to see that improper persona per-sona are not recommended The present method of applying for office is both secret se-cret and shameful and applicants are as 4f mum and noncommittal as though they were engaged in some scheme of villainy In this Territory there ar about A dozen applicants for each office and each one wishes nothing said about the matter until un-til he receives final assurance of appointment appoint-ment or disappointment If men were seeking office directly from the people the party would wish to canvass their merits and scrutinize their character tnat all the world might know of their candidates worth Why should it be any different when applying to the President for office Have the Democrats as a party no choice between the different applicants for the Marshalship If they have why not make that choice known publicly The Democrats expect that when appointments appoint-ments to office are made that those relieving re-lieving them will be representatives of the party as well as of the Government and why does not the party in Utah choose whom they will have represent it as Federal officials so far as in their 1 power lies We do not believe there are any applicants for office in Utah of the Judd type j but if there are and they shall be so fortunate as Judd was the party will be entitled to the disgrace which such an appointment would entail en-tail for the party has set by and through its indifierence will have sanctioned the application |
