Grover Cleveland actually said...

"The beneficiary mentioned in this bill is now receiving the highest rate of pension allowed in cases such as hers under the general law."

"I find no reason why this beneficiary should be singled out from his class."

"I suppose his certificate has already been issued, and I am unwilling to jeopardize the advantages he has gained thereunder."

"In the interest of the beneficiary and for her advantage the special bill is therefore disapproved."
