President Cleveland in declined TO al
tend the Gettysburg reunion, wrote that
combining duties and all the circumstances
surrounding the subject made it impossi-
BILE for him to attend. The contining
duties were probably writing new batch
of pensions vetoes. While others were
erecting monuments to the yalor of Am
ercan soldiers he was vctoing their
pension bills. That's the way Cleveland
is built.
