CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Letters from Democratic Repre-

Read AT A MEETING OFTME NEW
HAVEN, CONN, ASSOCIATION.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. 12 AT a meeting
OF tbs New Haven Civil Service Reform AS
sociatlon tonight motion commencing Presi-
dect Arthur's policy was passed and letters re-
ceived from Democratic Congressmen aud
Senators we're read. Three questions were
sent ont:
lst-Does the civil service reform act Of 1888
relieved members of Congress from opportunities
OF e afnce seekers and give more time for official
2-Is the act affective?
3-Do you favor the repeal Of the act of 1920?
To these questions Congressman Mitchell
replirs: To The first ''yas'' to the SECOND he
Gays II do not think it meets with that hearty
cooperation desired by members OF the Civil
Jeryice Reform Association; to the third he
anssers ives"
Abrsm s. Hewitt answers the first question
ps stating that "the act of 1888 10 no wise re-
nesed MIN, but this was due in part to a
cnange OF administration promise by the re-
cent election and while the Republicans were
In power as Democrat was not troubled by
once seekers" to the second question he says
no believes that the civil service is working
well, and the third he answers ives"
Senator George III. Pendleton writes. "The
law mas already accomplished much good in
establishing merit system, and the time of
members OF Congress Is less occupied by Office
aeekers." His expectations have been more
IMAM realized. II think, be says, "we msy
nave the fullest cod6dence that the President
elect will in his new field OF duty be as faith
ful to the principles of this reform movement
as he has shown himself to be while mayor
and governor, and that he will rigidly enforce
the provisions OF law now on the statute book
and gradually extend their application to the
whole subordinate non-political service AS
the necessity for additional legislation shall
appear it will be promptly ard inteligently
recommended. The syssem has grown rapidly
IN favor with members OF Congress, and in
this l think they only reflect the yisws OF their
constituents. The benefcencs of the reform
will surely commend ii more and more to tho
good sense and patriotism of the people and it's
original friends have every reason to be an
conraged, but this encouragement should only
stlmnlate them to increased exartion
