The spoil system is the one which upon winning an election, a party and its candidate embarks on giving civil service jobs to the loyal supporters of the party campaign. Arthur did not change the spoil system but it is noted that he was a firm believer in it, actually, he entrenched it when he retained party loyalists in excess in the customs house.
