Grover Cleveland

Ruth Cleveland , daughter of President Cleveland was claimed by the Curtiss Candy Company to be the namesake of the Baby Ruth candy bar. However, the bar came out in 1921 when Babe Ruth was making news for his baseball heroics and Baby Ruth Cleveland was dead and nearly forgotten.

Grover Cleveland served two non consecutive terms. He was the only president to marry in the White House. He was not in favor of giving people pensions for disabilities except for military service. He forced the railroads to give back 81,000,000 acres. He signed the Interstate Commerce Act. He was very much against political corruption and patronage.

Yes, he did . In fact he won twice, once in 1884 and again in 1892. (He lost in 1888 but came back in 1892.)

First president to run 2 non-consecutive term, First to get married inside the white house, he concided with the Panic of 1893 which is a major economic reccession. he known for vetoing, being on the 1000 dollar bill. There is more but this is all i can get off my mind at this moment.

Cleveland won presidency with the combined support of Democrats and reform Repulicans, the "Mugwumps", who disliked the record of his opponent James G. Blaine of Maine.

He barely lost his bid for re-election, winning the popular vote, so he ran again four years later and won. The tariff passed by Harrison was attacked by Cleveland. There was also a third party candidate who ran pretty well and may have affected the election.

No. Cleveland , Ohio was named for Gen. Moses Cleaveland who headed the party that surveyed the area and laid out plans to develop the city in 1796, The spelling of changed in 1831 by the local newspaper which dropped the first "a" to make the name fit more neatly into the masthead of the paper.

Most of the things he did were definitely good! However, he did do a few bad things. If you want to get all the details check out the White House website and Wikipedia.

Yes, he was married with 3 daughters and 2 sons.

Cleveland believed that the overthrow of the rightful Queen Liliuokalini was instigated by American pineapple interests and did not consider rightful the request of the revolutionary government for annexation by the US.

I thought he went to Public School 16 in Buffalo, NY. Does anyone know if that's correct?

He was married and had five children, so we can only confirm that he was straight.

However, between his 2 terms as president he lived in New York and worked as a bartender at a known gay bar for 4 years. I suspected he 'played'. So perhaps bisexual or at the very least gay friendly.

Cleveland is counted twice because there was a gap between his two terms. he lost his bid for re-election in 1888 but beat the incuimbent, Benjamin Harrison, in 1892 for another term. He both preceded and succeeded Harrison. He won the popular vote in 1888, so it was not so surprising that he came back to win in 1892.

President Grover Cleveland was not assassinated. He died of Heart Attack after he left the Presidency. The Four Assassinated Presidents are: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and John Kennedy.

During the 1884 presidential campaign Republicans called into issue the personal character of Democratic Party candidate Grover Cleveland charging that he had fathered an illegitimate child while he was a lawyer in Buffalo.

Contrary to popular belief, the team was not named for 19th century Cleveland player Louis Sockalexis when it assumed its current name in 1915. Rather, when the Naps needed a new name after Napoleon Lajoie was sent to the Philadelphia Athletics after the end of the 1914 season, Charles Somers, the team owner, asked the local newspapers to come up with a new name for the team. They chose "Indians" as a play on the name of the 1914 Boston Braves, who were known as the "Miracle Boston Braves" after going from last place on July 4 to a sweep in the World Series. The proponents of the name acknowledged that the Cleveland Spiders of the National League had sometimes been informally called the "Indians" during Sockalexis' short career there, a fact which merely reinforced the new name. In any case, the name change was assumed to be temporary, but it stuck. And 34 years later, the Indians went on to defeat those same Braves, 4 games to 2, in the 1948 World Series -- after winning a one game playoff against Boston's other team, the Red Sox. The victory over the Braves was the franchise's second of two world titles; the Tribe had also won the 1920 World Series, defeating the Brooklyn Robins 5 games to 2. Legend has it that the team honored Louis Sockalexis when it assumed its current name in 1915. The spectacular Sockalexis, a Native American, had played in Cleveland 1897-1899. On the contrary, when the "Naps" sent longtime leader Napoleon Lajoie to the Philadelphia Athletics at the end of the 1914 season, owner Charles Somers asked the local newspapers to come up with a new name for the team. They chose "Indians" as a play on the name of the Boston Braves, then known as the "Miracle Braves" after going from last place on July 4 to a sweep in the 1914 World Series. Proponents of the name acknowledged that the Cleveland Spiders of the National League had sometimes been informally called the "Indians" during Sockalexis' short career there, a fact which merely reinforced the new name.

The victory over the Braves was the franchise's second of two World Series titles; the Tribe had also won the 1920 World Series, defeating the Brooklyn Robins 5 games to 2. (Pluto, 1999) The name and logo of the Cleveland Indians, in its depiction of a smiling red-faced cartoon character, is considered by many to be racist and highly offensive. Such individuals consider the term "Indians" to be a derogatory characterization of an entire race and the logo to be a highly offensive depiction of the stereotypical "drunk" aboriginal. Similar objections are made with regard to other sports teams that allegedly depict aboriginal people in a racist manner, such as the Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves.

Pullman was hated.

"Old Veto"...Grover Cleveland used the veto power of the Presidency more than any of his predecessors.

It was the first time that a federal injunction had been used to break up a strike. The strike was in response to George M. Pullman's cutting of railroad workers wages during an economic downturn. Pullman's lack of empathy and the destruction during the union's protests led to the injunction.

He died of debility, coronary sclerosis, stroke, or intestinal obstruction (doctors differed as to the cause) . He was 71 when he died at his home in Princeton, NJ on June 28,1908.
