President pledges enforcement of civil service laws for ex soldiers
A Pennsylvania Grand Army delegation and the Veteran Rights Union urged enforcement of appointment rules for ex soldiers in the civil service. The president said he would enforce laws and welcome communications, while Manning noted the department would keep the law but non union veterans who were offensive partisans would not be retained. He added many non union sailors and soldiers remain unrecognized in offices over twenty years and claims by democrats will be recognized.
