EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 22, 1886_.
_To the Senate_:
I return herewith without approval House bill No. 7979, entitled "An act
granting a pension to Jackson Steward."
This claimant's application for pension is now pending in the Pension
Bureau, and has been sent to a special examiner for the purpose of
taking additional proof.
This I deem sufficient reason why the proposed bill should not now
become a law.
