In the great task of administrative fonn
which you have undertaRcn In accordance
ivitli pei.soual and party pledic ? ( , the people
ivlll give alii. It has been in } pleasuie with
in the last two mouths to visit ijuito a num
ber ot htates and territories ot tne union , and
it was my good fortune to meet many ol their
citizens , it Is gratifying to know that the
people eomide in the unequivocal Intention
ot the president to sustain the merit system
in tin * civil service. They had condemned
the evils ol toimer methods. Long e\-
IHJiiente had made their Knowledge ac
t-untie. They welcomed tlio inanimation
ot the new. Tbo distinctive teatuies ot
the picspnt leform appealed to a typically
Ameiicun sentiment which iccommeuits and
advances merit. Wall the pieclse details ol
the new pioceduie their acquaintance was
not so intimate. To tills they uro last suc
ceeding , aud tlio icsiut will be coidlal ap-
pioval. The Inception nnd maintenance is
with the juople. I believe that the fitudv
meiital Iitea ot civil service rctoi m is charac
teristic ot Amei lean thought. To tl'.e popu
lar hesitation over the acceptance ot t he statu
tory details ot this ictoliu theix- was u le-
spouse thioughout the nation. Political con
tests assumed a new tone. Old time methods
of eoiruiition weie discouraged and bo 3ibin
was grappled with tiesh vigor.
The Impiovemeiit is yet marked. If the
vicious elements > tlll seekobtiuhlon into elec
tions , the chances ol their success have been
lessened. The icloim spirit is militant and
advances toward complete success. Coirup-
tlon by otliclal patronage has been lemoved.
\Vith tlic imp.iitiiiK ut'a junur lito to olliclul
circles , the power ol the private pur.se to pur-
cbae political honors will be less dangerous.
Public appieclation of the fact that thisie-
foriu docs not trench upon sturdy pmtisan-
"lilji came late. It was studious ! ) maintained
thai the civil service wab to be composed ot
men who should abjtue ceitain lights of citl-
/cn. liip. With the giadual but inevitable
letiitation of this false view , the outlines of
reform at last blood forth In cleainess. It IH
the lelorm which views the civil service as a
vast business agency. Its seaich is for the
tie.st attainable meiit. In a business which is
not political it enforces no tests of paity.
With conildent trust in the success ot jour
administration , 1 am your obedient servant ,
