Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I return without approval Senate bill No. 2223, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Elizabeth S. De Krafft.'"

"A better reason is based upon the entire lack of any facts shown to exist which entitle the beneficiary named to a pension."

"The public money appropriated for pensions is the soldiers' fund, which should be devoted to the indemnification of those who in the defense of the Union have worthily suffered."

"I hereby return without approval Senate bill No. 1584, entitled 'An act for the relief of Cornelia R. Schenck.'"
