Ths Hon. John y Dmconte.
My DELR siRi Your letter OF July 10 at hand, and
thank you for the friendly sentiments which II
tains Remember very well the perpsxitics involved
In my action upon the pes Moines River land grant
My memory Ia entirely clear upon two points which
largely entered into my consideration.
After reading the decisions Of tho courts upon the
questions Involved In the bill which before
my action II was entirely clear that tho only result Of
the legislation would be to further involve tho unfor
unato settlers in litigation aud further load them with
expense to no purpose. Subsequent events seem to
have proved that was right in this.
Another thought which was firmly In my mind and
which was distinctly aud emphatonlly declared In my
veto to the effect that II any settler had been in
duced to 20 upon the lands and eNpcnd money on i'm
provements the faith of some ruling OF tho Land
Department snch settler should DO fairly and Justly
remunerated for hts outlay. should have been glad
at any time to have relieved such settlers II IL had been
possible to do so. and accuse me OF acting
In the matter IN other spirit than that OF extreme
kindness and tenderness toward those who had been
injured by the vsciliation OF aovernment officials
This matter can be made so plain by reference the
laws and to veto and to the judicial decisions bear
ing upon the point that do how IL is possible
for any person to present misunderstood the
true condition Very truly yours. GROVER CLEVELAND.
