Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I believe that this appropriation of the public funds is not within the constitutional power of the Congress."

"It will hardly do to say that the States and Territories who are the recipients of these large gifts may be trusted to do justice to its citizens."

"Any other theory cheapens and in a measure discredits a process which more than any other is a manifestation of sovereign authority."

"A government is not only kind, but performs its highest duty when it restores to the citizen taxes unlawfully collected."
