President+Clevland



President Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. He was mayor of Buffalo, then governor of New York and then the first democratic president since 1856. The issues that were involved with the decision of president were tariffs, unfair business practices and railroad regulations. Cleveland supported low tariffs and believed in government regulation which was made him unpopular with business owners but had tight money policies which made businesses back him. In 84 the main reason he won was the republican independents called “renegade chiefs” who thought Blaine was to corrupt. Cleveland had started rumors he had taken bribes. In 88 he lost the presidency over the tariff issue. But in 92 won he returned to presidency over the same issue.
