Grover Cleveland actually said...

"In my judgment the number of public buildings should not at this time be increased unless a greater public necessity exists therefor than is apparent in this case."

"It seems to me that in the consideration of the merits of this bill the necessities of the Government should control the question."

"The information furnished by the report of the committee... absolutely fails to connect the death of Commodore Marchand with any incident of his naval service."

"I am of the opinion that the expenditure of public money for such a purpose should depend upon the necessity of such a building for public uses."
