Critics charged the party with betraying pledges as they blocked increases for the Civil Service Commission and its examining boards. Supporters praised reform and Cleveland, while three hours of heated exchanges ended with a revised appropriation of 80 400 to fund the commission and the bill passing as the session adjourned.

In the House the legislative appropriation bill fuels a clash over funding for Civil Service Commission clerical staff. An amendment to add support was ruled out on a point of order, then a counter proposal for a secretary and stenographer was debated amid charges of hypocrisy and partisanship as lawmakers spar over whether the commission should receive more personnel. The session featured sharp exchanges between Messrs Cannon Butterworth Grosvenor Lodge and others about civil service reform and staffing needs.
