GROVER CLEVELAND AS PRESIDENT IN 1888

BE was not particularly active In poll
tics after his retirement.
In the meantime history was making.
Harrison and high tariff were In the
saddle. The Mckinley act Of 1880. in
creasing the tariff ON wool, tin plate
and other products, was followed by
high prices for the poor mans necessa-
ries Of life. Events rapidly were shap-
ing themselves toward a vindicatton OF
Grover Cleveland. The ex-president at
tended to his law work, and the
people did the rest. With the politi-
clans, as of old, mostly il opposi-
ton, the independent Democratic vot-
ers forced the selection OF Cleve-
land delegates to the national Demo
ocratic convention of 1892, held in
June. "Four more years OF Grover"
was the campaign cry. Though the
New York delegation opposed him, Mr..
Cleveland was nominated for the presi-
dency the third time In succession on
the first ballot. President Harrison
again was his Republican opponent.
Cleveland was elected, receiving 277
electoral votes against 145 for Harrison
and % for General Weaver, Populist

xvar department were many crates OF
E,attleaags captured from southern
armies. At the suggestion of the adj
1utant general N'r. Cleveland ordered
that the flags be returned to the states
from whose regiments they had been
captured. Certain Grand Army posts
became SO indignant that they passed
resolutions strongly censuring the pres
ident, with insinuations against MIN
because he had employed q substitute
instead of going into the army during
the war. This incident, which took
uolace In 1887, was intensified in its acri-
Smou1y from the G. A. +. side because
che president had vetoed civil war pen
sion bills in hundreds Of individual
s~asgs wherein he believed the applicant
was not entitled to a pension. He had
become known as "the veto president
as he had been the veto mayor and the
Veto governor. So harsh was the clam
or evoked by the battlefiag order thai

acted without looking up the legal as

ALLEVIATE that large wing of the De-
mocracy which believed in a high
tariff for the support of American
industries was greeted by the Brit
ish press with profound admiration.
Eminent political economists in the
United States declared this message to
be one of the ablest of presidential pa
pers. The presidents stand for reduc-
tons in the tariff on a revenue only"
basis was the subject of much discus
sion pro and con for many years fol-
lowing.
Mr.. Cleveland received the Demo
cratic nomination for president in 1888,
but was defeated in the election by
Benjamin Harrison Of Indiana. Many
Democrats attributed his defeat to his
tariff message Of 1887. After Mr..
Harrison's election and the consequent
TRADE of criticism from members OF
the presidents own party Mr.. Cleve-
land sent for the speaker Of the house
Of representatives, John G. Carlisle,
Democrat and said to him. eff every
other man in the country abandons
this issue, shall stick to It"
Accordingly in the last message of
his term he ''stuck to- his stand on
the tariff problem, urging congress in
1850 to enact laws In line with his
suggestions of the winter before.
Cleveland retired to private life
March 4, 1889, and settled in New
York city for the practice Of the law.

crate bouquets to Miss frankie Fol
som on the occasion of the young wo-
mans graduation from Wells college.
Frances Folsom was the daughter of a
former law partner of Mr.. Cleveland
In Buffalo. After her graduation she
travelled in Europe. On June 2, 1886,
shortly after her return to America,
she was married to the president in the
White House.
Unusual obstacles beset the presiden-
6ial pathway of Cleveland from the
moment of his Inauguration. Shut out
from executive favor for practically a
generation, the Democratic politicians
were avid for Office. The president
sought to adhere to a policy opposed to
removal from Office Of competent Off
ciaiS except as to heads of divisions
and other important oficehoIders, but
the Jacksonian cry '@To the victors be-
long the spoilsv' became so insistent
that the president was induced to mod
1fy his policy to the extent of remov-
ais for Offensive craftsmanship" a
phrase coined by him which speedily
became famous. In the light of his
