How did civil service reform make gradual progress during the administrations of Hayes Garfield, and Arthur?

During the Republican National Convention of 1880, the Half-Breeds advocated the candidacy of James Blaine of Maine for president. A stalemate occurred between the Half-Breeds and the Stalwarts, and a compromise was struck to nominate a decent, less abrasive man: James Garfield.

Instead of giving federal jobs to political supporters, Rutherford B. Hayes wished to award them by merit according to an examination that all applicants would take. Immediately, Hayes’s call for reform brought him into conflict with the Stalwart, or pro-spoils, branch of the Republican party.

Hayes made strides toward eliminating political patronage in government jobs during his administration.
