PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has sent letter to
an extension of the limits of the classified
service. He says:
Non-competitive examinations are the excep-
tons To the plan OF the act, and the rules por-
uniting the same should be strictly construed.
The cases arising under the exception above
recited should be very few, ana when present
ed they should precisely meet all the require
ments specified and hould be supported by
facts which will develop the basis and reason
OF the application of tho appointing officer and
which will commend them, 10 the judgment Of
the commission aud the President The sole
purpose OF the provision is to benefit the public
service and il should never be permitted to
operate as an evasion OF the main feature Of
the law which is competitive examinations.
As these cases will first be presented to the
committee for recomm endation. i have to re-
quest that you will formulate plan by which
their merits can be tested. This will naturally
involve n statement of all the facts deemed
necessary for the determination Of such appi-
cations, including the kind OF work which has
been done by the person proposed for promo
ton, and the considerations upon which the al
legations OF the faithfulness efficiency, and
qualifications mentioned in the rule are predi-
