Matching Quote
"The thirty thousand dollars is not the annual expense of the Executive Mansion. That may not be over twenty-five thousand dollars but it is about right for my total expenses. I have paid between six thousand dollars and seven thousand dollars for political purposes for the advantage of the Republican cause ... and rather large expenditures for dependents.... I shall leave here in debt from twenty thousand to twenty-five thousand dollars, but with a good credit, plenty of property, and in no sense needing pecuniary aid or sympathy."
-Rutherford Birchard Hayes
