Those who prosecute claims for pensions have grown very bold when cases
of this description are presented for consideration.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 23, 1886_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I herewith return without approval House bill No. 6774, entitled "An act
granting a pension to Bruno Schultz."
The application of this claimant for a pension, which was filed a number
of years ago, though at one time rejected, has been since opened for
reexamination, and is now awaiting additional evidence.
In this condition of this case I think this bill should not be approved.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 23, 1886_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I hereby return without approval House bill No. 7298, entitled "An act
for the relief of Charles Schuler."
It is proposed by this bill to grant a pension to the person above
named, who was discharged from the military service in December, 1864.
He filed a declaration for a pension in the Pension Bureau in January,
1883. This application is still pending. Without referring to the merits
of the case, I am of the opinion that the matter should be determined by
the Bureau to which it has properly been presented before special
legislation should be invoked.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 23, 1886_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I return herewith without approval House bill No.
