Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I am satisfied that a fair examination of the facts in this case justifies the statement that the bill under consideration can rest only upon the grounds that aid should be furnished to this ex-soldie..."

"The fact that the claim of the beneficiary has never been presented to the pension Bureau influences in some degree my action in withholding my approval of this bill."

"The beneficiary named is the widow of Rowley S. McKay."

"There is no merit whatever in this case."
