Campaign Pin, Cleveland

Object Details

Description
Before Franklin Roosevelt won four straight elections, Grover Cleveland was the most consistently successful popular-vote presidential candidate in American history (a title he shares with Andrew Jackson). In 1884, 1888, and 1892, Cleveland won the popular vote, although in 1888 he lost the electoral vote to Benjamin Harrison. For Democrats, including many southerners, small farmers in the lower north, and immigrants in big cities, Cleveland seemed to offer a new pride for the once-struggling party.
