EXECUTIVE MANSION, _October 17, 1888_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I return without approval House bill No. 10342, entitled "An act
granting a pension to John Dauper."
This beneficiary enlisted April 24, 1861, and was discharged August 28,
1861, four months after enlistment.
He filed a claim for pension in September, 1879, alleging as cause of
disability diarrhea and disease of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and
bladder.
None of these ailments were established satisfactorily as originating
in the soldier's brief service, and as constituting disabilities after
discharge.
The claim was therefore rejected by the Pension Bureau, and this action
appears to be entirely justified upon the facts presented.
