Abstract Students of American political development portray the transformation of the bureaucracy from patronage to service as the handiwork of progressive presidents. In this article we explore Congress' programmatic contribution to the transformation of the bureaucracy. Specifically, we examine the development of rural free delivery (RFD) during the 1890's. The early administrative history of RFD and a statistical analysis of initial route allocations identify a strong partisan and electoral rationale for the Republican Congress's decision to dismantle patronage Fourth class post offices and replace them with RFD routes. Freshmen Republican members who faced difficult campaigns in 1900 were the most successful in gathering routes while their Democratic counterparts were the least so. We conclude that the emergence of careerist congressmen looking for opportunities to serve constituents provided an important impetus in the historic reorientation of national policy from patronage to service.

What is patronage in US history?Political patronage is the appointment or hiring of a person to a government post on the basis of partisan loyalty. Elected officials at the national, state, and local levels of government use such appointments to reward the people who help them win and maintain office.
Why is patronage An important function of the president's role as party leader?At the heart of each president's administration was the protection of the spoils system, that is, the power of the president to practice widespread political patronage. Patronage, in this case, took the form of the president naming his friends and supporters to various political posts.
What is patronage and why did many Americans in the late 1800s believe that civil service reform was needed?Patronage is when political supports are rewarded with government jobs. The spoils system is a successful political party that gives public office to its supporters. Many Americans believed that civil service reform was needed because Americans believed the government was inefficient and corrupt.
What ended patronage also known as the spoils system in the industrial age?The Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1883 was the law that began to dismantle the patronage or spoils system.
