EXECUTIVE MANSION, _May 28, 1886_.
_To the Senate_:
I hereby return without approval Senate bill No. 1253, entitled "An act
granting a pension to J.D. Haworth."
It is proposed by this bill to grant a pension to the claimant for the
alleged loss of sight in one eye and the impairment of the vision of the
other.
From the information furnished me I am convinced that the difficulty
alleged by this applicant had its origin in causes existing prior to his
enlistment, and that his present condition of disability is not the
result of his service in the Army.
