Grover Cleveland: “This bill is not based upon substantial merits.”

I return herewith without my approval House bill No. 6902, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Mrs. Mary A. Viel.'

A departure from this rule, even in aid of cases of hardship, can not fail to establish precedents inviting the abandonment of reasonable and justifiable pension theories.

There is hereby reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation all those certain tracts, pieces, or parcels of land lying and being situate the State of Montana.

To the Senate: In response to the resolution of the Senate of the 24th ultimo, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State.
