had never been conspicuous as political man
ayers there might have been some reason for
claiming that he was seeking to bipartisan
ize the public service. But the selection of two
such eminent politicians as Capt. Chase and
Mr.. Palmer shows clearly enough that it was
not the publication of the public service
from politics that was uppermost in the
Presidents mind.
The fact cannot be successfully disguised
that both Capt. Chase and Mr.. Palmer were
appointed because they had been efficient
workers in the Democratic party. In other
words their offices were given them as re-
wards. This is the spoils system and not civil
service reform, and in seoffing at this the
PRESS is not scoffing at civil service reform.
