Letter from Elliot H. Goodwin and Samuel H. Ordway to Civil Service Reform Association
Elliot H. Goodwin and Samuel H. Ordway, Secretary and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Civil Service Reform Association, respectively, write to the members of the organization to urge them to write to New York Governor John A. Dix and ask him to not approve the resolutions from the State Civil Service Commission. The Commission, as previously appointed by Dix, was made up of people hostile towards the civil service law, and their recommendations, Goodwin and Ordway suggest, would perpetuate the spoils system, rather than improving the situation.
