Everett P. Wheeler, counsel for the Civil
service Reform Association Of New York, sent a
communication to President Arthur stating
that Col Dudley, Commissioner Of Pensions,
was absent from his post ana conducting the
canvass of the Republican party in Ohio,
to the entire neglect of his official
duties, and furthermore, that he had given
orders that applications for pensions flied BY
voters residing in Ohio and Indiana be taken up

residing in many other States
