James Garfield was assassinated by a disappointed office seeker. His assassination spurred Congress and President Arthur to pass Civil Service legislation, thereby ending much of the spoils system. Garfield was against the worst features of federal appointments as pushed by Senator Roscoe Conkling, but I would not say that he was shot for trying to eliminate the spoils system.
