Grover Cleveland: “It thus appears that even if this bill were approved there could be no rating, and the legislation would be of no…”

I am not willing, even by inaction, to be charged with acquiescence in what appears to be such an entire departure from the principle, as well as sentiment, connected with reasonable pension legislation.

I herewith return without approval House bill No. 1299, entitled 'An act to pension Harriet Woodbury, of Windsor, Vt.'

A radical departure from our national policy relating to immigration is here presented.

There is a further objection to granting this pension.
