Civil Service Reform.

The fifth resolution adopted by the
Cincinnati Convention is of para
mount interest. More than forty
years ago the system OF making APP
pointments to office grew up, based
dpon the maxim TO the victors be-
long the spoils." The old rule and
the true rule, that honesty, capacity
and fidelity constitute the only real
qualifications for otfice--and there is
no other claim--gave place to the
idea that party services Were to be
chiefly considered. All parties in
practice have adopted this system. 1t
has been essentially modified since its
first introduction, but it has not, how
ever, improved. At first the Presi-
dent, directly or through the heads of
Departments, made all appointments,
but gradually the appoin,ive power
in many cases passed into the control
of the members of Congress. Offices
in these cases have become not merely
rewards for party services, but re-
wards for services to party leaders.
The system destroys the independence
If the separate Departments If the
Government. 1t tends directly to eX-
travagance and official incapacity; it
is temptation to dishonesty; 1t
binders and impai's that careful
supervision and strict accountability
by which alone faithful and efficient
public service can be secured; it OBJ
structs the prompt removal and sure
punishment of the unworthy; in
every way it degrades the civil ser
vice and the character of the Govern
ment. 1t is felt, | am confident, by
large majority of the members Of
Congress to be an intolerable burden
and an unwarrantable hindrance to
the proper discharge of their legiti-
mate duties. II ought To be abolished.
Reforms should be thorough, radical
and complete, We should return to
the principles and practices of the
founders of the Government, supply
ing by legislation, when needed,
that which was formerly the estab-
hshed custom. They neither ex-
pected nor desired from public Of
ticers any partisan service. They
meant that public officers should give
their whole service To the Govern
ment aud to the people. They meant
that the officer should be secure IN
his term rs long as his personal char
acter remained untarnished and the
performance of his duties satisfactory.
Ii elected l shall conduct the admin
istration of the Government upon
these principles. All the constitu-
tional powers vested in the Executive
will be employed to establish this re-
form Hayes Letter OF Acceptance.
