Grover Cleveland actually said...

"It is very clear to me that the Pension Bureau properly rejected the widow's claim for pension."

"I suppose that every army ailment does not necessarily result in death or disability."

"I can see no pretext for allowing a pension in this case."

"This claimant's application for pension is now pending in the Pension Bureau, and has been sent to a special examiner for the purpose of taking additional proof."
