Veto messages on private pension bills. Read them: To the House of Representatives: I hereby re urn without approval home bill No. 7197, entitled “An act for the relief of Mrs. Maria Hunter.” The beneficiary named in this bill, to whom it is therein proposed to grant a pension a* the rate of SSO a month, on the 23d day of Match, 1886, filed her application for a pension in the pension bureau, where it is still pending undetermined. Although the deceased soldier held a high rank; I have no doubt b’s widow will receive ampie justice through the instrumentality organized for the purpose of di3pe sing the nation’s erateful acknowledgment of military service in Its defense. Gbovkb Cleveland. To the House of Representatives: I return without approval house bill No 6257, entitled “An aot for the re* lief of Ju ia Connelly.” It is proposed by this bill to grant a pension to the beneficiary named as the widow o? Thomas Connelly. This man was mustered into the service Oct. 26, 1861. He never did a day’s service so far as his name ap pears, and the mustet-out roll of hia company repotts him as haviug.de asrted at Camp Cameron, Pennsylvania, Nov. 14, 1861. He visited his family about the Ist day of December 1861, and was found Dec. 30, 1861, about six miles from his home. Those who prosecute claims for pensions have grown very bold when cases of <his description are presented for consideration. Grover Cleveland. To the House of Representatives: I hereby return without approval house bill No. 6688 entitled “An act for the relief of William Bishop.” This claimant was enrolled as a substitute on the 25th day of March, 1865; s e was admitted to a post nospital at Indianapolis on the 3d dav of April, 1865, with the measles; was removed to the oity goneral hospital in Indianapolis, on the sth day of May 1865; was returned to duty May 8, 1865, and was mustered out with a detatchmeat of unass gned men on the lith day of May, 1865. This is the military record of this soldier, who remained in the army one month and seventeen days, having entered it as a substitute at a time high bounties wsre paid. Fifteen years after thio brilliant ser vice and this terrific encounter with the measles and on the 28th day of June, 1880, the claimant discovered that his attack of the measles had some relation t« his army enrollment, and that this disease had “settled in his eyes, also affecting hi , spinal col umn.” This claim was rejected by the pension bureau, and I have no doubt or the correctness oi its determination.

To the House of Representatives: I return without approval housebill No. 7109, entitled “An act granting a pension to Josepn Tuttle.” This man claims a pension as the dependant father of Charles Tuttle, who enlisted in 1861 and was killed in action May 31 1862 The claimant being, as he says, poor, took Ms son Charles, at the age of 9 years and placed him in charge of an uncle living in Ohio. An arrangement was afterwards made by which the boy should live with a stranger named Betts- Upon the death of this gentleman the lad wa transferred to one Capt. Hill, with whom he remained until his enlist-, ment in 1861. It is stated that during the time he remained with Mr. Bill he sent his father $5; but the fatherly care and interest of the claimant in his son is exhibited by the statement tnat, tho’ the son was killed In 1862, uis father was not aware of it until the year--1864. After the exhibition of heartlessness and abandonment on the part of a father, which is a prominent feature in this case, I should be sorrv to be a parry to a scheme permitting him to profit by the death o' his patriotic son. The claimant relinquished the care of his son, and should be held to have relinquished all claim to his assistance and the benefits so indecently claimed as the result of iris death. Grover Cleveland. • m > ■ i o »

When Mr. Randall asked Mr. Morrison if he thought Mr. Cleveland could have been elected if the Chicago convention had declared for free raw materials he got an answer that raised him off his feet and shut his mouth like a case of lock jaw. “He would have got more votes than he did,” said Mr Morrison; “he did not carry Ohio and he did not carry Pennsylvania, and he would not have carr’ed them if the convention had promised to r>vle the tariff on wool a mile high.” That is precisely the truth, and Mr. Randail knows it.
