Civil service reform report outlines exam results and reforms
The third annual report to Congress details the civil service exam results from 1879 to 1880 across most states and territories, noting 6,872 passing and 700 female examinees. It highlights broad support from reform advocates, low placement pressure, and that about two thousand appointees were Democrats and two thousand Republicans, with few rejections after six months. The report credits cabinet leaders and the president for backing the reform and criticizes partisan opposition as a partisan maneuver.
