Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I return without approval House bill No. 2472, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Lydia A. Eaton.'"

"Upon the merits as the case now stands, and because of the mistake in describing the relationship of the beneficiary, this bill, I think, should not become a law."

"I make no reference to the fact stated in the committee's report suggesting the idea that the courage of the deceased soldier had been questioned."

"I fail to discover how any other conclusion can be reached."
