nation on the part of its head is not
practicable, for ascertaining those quail
iticatiOns to which appointments and
removals should have reference. To
fail to provide such means is not only
to deny the opportunity of ascertainlng
the facts upon which the most right
eous claim to office depends, but, of
necessity, to discourage all worthy as
pirants, by handing over appointments
and removals to mere influence and
favoritism. If it is the right of the
WOrthiest claimant to gain the appoint
ment, and the interest of the people to
bestow it upon him, it would seem
clear that wise and just method of
ascertaining personal fitness for Office
must be an important and permanent
function of every just and wise gov
ernment. 1t has long since become
impossible, in the great offices, for those
having the duty of nomination and
appointment, to personally examine
into the individual qualifications of
more than small proportion of those
seeking office; and, with the enlarge
ment Of the civil service, that proper
tion must continue to become less.
In the earlier years of the Govern
ment, the subordinate offices were so
few in number that it was quite easy
for those making appointments and
promotions to personally ascertain
the merits of candidates. Party mana
gers and methods had not then become
powerful agencies Of coercion, hostile
to the free and just exercise OF the ap-
pointing power.
Responsibility of the President.
A large and responsible part of the
duty of restoring the civil service to the
desired purity and efficiency rests upon
the President, and it is my purpose to
do what is within my power to advance
such prudent and gradual measures of
reform as will most surely and rapidly
bring about that radical change Of sys-
TEN essential to make our administra-
tive methods satisfactory toa free and
intelligent people, BY a proper eXer-
else of authority, it is in the power Of
the Executive to do much to promote
such reform. But it cannot be too
clearly understood that nothing ade-
qnate can be accomplished without CO.
operation on the part of Congress and
considerate and intelligent support
among the people. Reforms which
challenge the generally accepted theo-
ries of parties, and demand changes in
the methods of departments, are not
the work of day. Their permanent
foundations must be laid in sound
principles, and in an experience which
| demonstrates their wisdom and ex-
poses the errors of their adversaries.
Every worthy officer desires to make
his official action a gain and an honor
to his country, but the people them
selves, far more than their officers in
public station, are interested in a pure,
economical, and vigorous administra-
tion.
By laws enacted in 1858 and 1855, and
now in substance incorporated in the
Revised Statutes, the practice of arbi-
trary appointments to the several subor-
