To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Washington, neither an idealist nor a sentimentalist, but the most practical of statesmen, reso lutely withstood its evil counsels, and in all that con cerns the Civil Service an American President could have no better exemplar than Washington. With the inauguration of Jefferson the determined assault of party to control the national patronage began. By his fantastic theory of equitable distribution of pat ronage between the parties Jefferson drew out the bolts and then held the flood-gates... by main force. It was obviously a mere question of time when the pressure would be mighty enough to sweep every barrier away. Jefferson had surrendered the cardinal principle that the great system of minor ministerial, non- political places are not party prizes, but public trusts, to which fitness alone is the only valid claim, and from which dismissal REASON AND RESULT OF CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM 371 for the mere purpose of rewarding partisans is a public wrong. The contempt of this principle which already ran riot in the two great States of New York and Penn sylvania, and which was one of the worst excesses of party spirit, would not be likely to relinquish its assaults upon the national government when the government itself conceded that half its demand was just.
