Although Postmaster Pearson of New
York is republican, the appointment #
his successor may indicate the course Presi-
dent Harrison intends to pursue with re-
gard to civil service reform. Mr.. Pearson
was first appointed by a republican Presi-
dent, and he was reappointed by Mr. Cleve-
land. who was severely denounced by many
democratic partisans for doing 50. He is
one of the best postmasters New York has
ever had. HIS Management of the affairs of
his office has been busness-lke and honest,
and to those people, irrespective of party,
who placed the performance of duty
above party considerations it has been
satisfactory. But as the democratic parti-
sans demanded his removal by Mr.. Cleve.
land, so the republican partsans demand it
by President Harrison. He does not run
his office in the interest of any party, and
on t5at account he is not popular with the
spoilsmen. A determined fight is icing
made on him, and both patlsans and civil
service reformers await the result with
more or less anxiety.
President Harrison may decide not to
make a selection from the list of can
dldates recommended to him, but to
appoint some one who would run the
office upon the non-partis n line upon
which Mr.. Pearson has run it. That would
be a concession to both the conservative
and the parti an elements of the party, but
it probably would not satisfy either. The
conservatives would want to know why
Mr.. Pearson should have been removed at
A.
while they had secured Mr.. Pearson's re-
moval, they had not succeeded in getting a
partisan in his place.
The appointment no doubt is giving the
President a good deal of trouble 1t can
not be deferred long, as Mr.. Pearson's tetzh
will expire in few weeks. President Har-
rison will not soon have better chance to
let the public know whether he is going to
enforce the civil service rules in spirit as
well as in letter, and anything ON his part
i'll the nature of a compromise would be re-
garded as an indication of weakness
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-03-25
What Win He Do About It2

In his letter of acceptance, President
Harrison announced that he was in favor
| of civil service reform, and in his inaugural
that the civil service rules were enforced.
His party does not believe in civil service
reform, however, and great pressure will he
brought to gar upon him to till the otfi es
with republicans, regardless of civil servics
rules. If he should successfully resist this
pressure, he would in all probability make
his administration unpopular with his
party. What is he going TO do about itG
There are two classes of officials. one of
which must undergo an acceptable civil
service examination, and the other of which
is appointed without regard to an examina-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland enforced the civil
service rules so rigidly that at the end of
his term comparatively few removals
in the different department had been
made. In the treasury department
there were on March last go mold
overs" under the civil service rules, aud $50
Cleveland appointees In the interior de-
partment there we're GA "holdover5" and
456 Cleveland appointees. in the postof1ice
department there we're AS "hold overs"
and ninsty-six Cleveland appoiatees. In
the state department tho clerical force was
about as ia 1884 In the department Of
justice the hold overs" greatly outnum-
bered the Cleveland appointee&
What is to prevent President Harrison
from retaining in Office these "hold-overs,n
who for most part are, Of course, rspubli-
cans, and making party appointments in
the 'unclassified" lst' In that way nolry
all Of the offices would DO filed by republi-
cans, and at the same time thu President
could claim that he had enforced the civil
service rules. He might remove ms OF
Mr.. Cleveland's appointeas in the "class-
fled" list for cause" and still make that
claim. Would such course satisfy both
the spoilsmen aud the civil service re-
formers.
