The Company that first produced the candy bar claimed it was named after Ruth Clevland but it's been heavily speculated that it was a way to capitalize on Babe Ruth's popularity without compensating him. The candy bar came out in 1921 when Ruth was probably the biggest celebrity in America and 15 years after Ruth Clevland had died. Ruth took legal action against the company to try to get compensation but lost. In the 90's Ruth's estate and Nestle actually made an agreement to use Ruth in their marketing.

Furthermore he was a strong advocate for the working class passing legislation that included a minimum wage maximum working hours and a ban on child labor.

Yes, when the Statue of Liberty was formally dedicated on October 28, 1886, Grover Cleveland was the President of The United States of America. It was determined that the United States would accept the Statue of Liberty on March 3, 1877. This was President Ulysses S. Grant's final day in office, President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it. One of what would eventually become one of the Statue of Liberty's arms was displayed in New York City, in Madison Square Park, from 1876 to 1882. That time period (1876 to 1882) saw the presidencies of Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur and Grover Cleveland in that order. Hope this answers your question.
The countries of Venezuela and Great Britain disputed the border between Venezuela and British Guiana beginning in 1841.

Grover Cleveland on taking office started the habit of replacing only people in top government jobs who were in policy-making positions, retaining able office holders - even if from another party - who were in more 'technical' positions. He reduced import tariffs, although less than he himself had wished. What he did NOT do, was promote racial equality and black voting rights because of Southern sensibilities. On the basis of the USA's Monroe doctrine - making Middle and South America the USA's "back yard" where it felt it had the right to control events - he pursued an active foreign policy. At home, he succesfully worked to make Utah a US State in 1894.
