Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee of the National Civil-Service Reform League: Upon the Present Condition of the Reform Movement and the Relations to It of the National, State, and Municipal Administrations; March 16, 1887
This was defeated by a vote of 67 to 30. Unfortunately party lines were drawn upon the question, the negative vote being cast exclusively by the Democratic members and the affirmative, with three exceptions, exclusively by the Republicans. But despite such efforts there is no doubt whatever that the present condition of the reformed system in state and municipal governments, so far as it has been introduced, is most gratifying and satisfactory. It has fully vindicated its value and practicability and justifies the warmest anticipations of its advocates.
