= **Democrat** = The twenty second president of the United States and former Governor of New York City. He is the Nation's first Democratic President since the Civil War (James Buchanan). He is the only president to leave the White House and return to office 4 years later. He was often known for his nature of being single minded while facing whatever problems were in front of him. In his inaugural address, he promised to adhere to "business principals," which was completely consistant of his conservative outlook. Cleveland was against any policies that would aid any economic group he was quoted to have said "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character. . . .
