:I believe that Grover Cleveland was a conservative.  Many of his ideas are in line with those of conservatives.  For example, he had an extreme dislike of paternalism, a system under which an authority figure treats those under his control paternally by regulating their conduct and taking care of their needs.  Because of this belief, he opposed the idea of a social service state.  He felt that Americans should have economy, purity and justice in their government, but nothing else.

:Also, like conservatives, Grover Cleveland was fiscally frugal.  He opposed tariff favors for businesses, pensions for Civil War veterans, land favors for railroads, and “pork barrel spending” by the government.
