Grover Cleveland actually said...

"It is ordered, That the office of the Interstate Commerce Commission be, and the same is hereby, classified as a part of the classified departmental service."

"All officers and employees who have heretofore been classified under the civil-service act shall be considered as still classified and subject to the provisions of these rules."

"No person in the executive civil service shall use his official authority or official influence for the purpose of interfering with an election."

"The value of pension legislation depends as much upon fairness and justice in its administration as it does upon its liberality and generosity."
