KEIM's APPOINTMENT.
Judge Thoman, of the civil service COM
mission, said tonight that some of the
newspapers of the country in commenting
upon the selection of Klein as chief civil
examiner, had thrown all the responsible
ity for that selection upon him, and had
asserted that he virtually made the nomi-
nation at the suggestion of Senator Pen
dleton. This, he says, is not in accordance
with the facts. The selection of chief ex-
aminer was discussed frequent and
thoroughly by all the commissioners, and
when on the 7th of April, he, (rhoman),
started for Ohio, it was understood and
agreed that one of the two names, Keim's
and another, should be presented to the
president. Eaton and Gregory were to
satisfy themselves, and the person
whom they found to be on the
whole the most satisfactory was to
have his (Thoman's) approval upon his
return to WASHINGTON ADriI 26 tha mama
