President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland

Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 - June 24, 1908) was the 22nd and 24th President and the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms (1885-89 and 1893-97). He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times; 1884, 1888, and 1892. He was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, inflation, imperialism and subsidies to business, farmers or veterans. He won praise for his honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. He fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide. His support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party. He began his presidency as a bachelor. In 1886, he married 21 year old Frances Folsom in the Blue Room at the White House. She remains the youngest First Lady, and the public soon warmed to her beauty and warm personality. After leaving the White House they moved to his New Jersey estate, Westland Mansion. In 1908, he suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 71. His last words were "I have tried so hard to do right.".
