President Chester A. Arthur worked for civil service reform after the assassination of President James A. Garfield. Arthur signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act into law in 1883, which established a merit-based system for hiring and promoting government employees. This marked an important step towards reducing political patronage and increasing the efficiency and professionalism of the civil service.
Republicans chose Chester Arthur as their vice presidential candidate in 1880 because he was seen as a compromise candidate who would help balance the ticket.
