Grover Cleveland

Stephen Grover Cleveland was the 21st President of the United States of America, from 1889-1893. He succeeded William Tecumseh Sherman as President, and served a one term Presidency. Cleveland was largely overshadowed by the legacy of President Sherman, and his only term emphasised the stagnation of the Democratic Party in their constant streak of wins. Cleveland's election, however, came at a partial competition; before his election, the socialist coalitions began to unite into the American Labor Party, and they managed to grab Michigan and Illinois in the election.

Cleveland believed that the next election in 1892 would also be a cakewalk for the Democrats, but was stunned when he lost the election to James B. Weaver of the Labor Party. He contested again in 1896, but once again lost to the incumbent President. He retired from politics thereafter, declining to put his name up for nomination. He died in 1908.
