Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I am satisfied that the appropriation of $75,000 for a building at Youngstown is at present not justified."

"If the claims mentioned are such as should be paid by the United States, there appears to be no difficulty in making an appropriation for their payment from the general funds of the Government."

"Thus since that date it seems there has been no Texas indemnity fund, nor is there any such fund now from which the money mentioned in the bill herewith returned can be paid."

"This balance was on the 30th day of June, 1877, carried to the surplus fund and covered into the Treasury."
