'''Grover Steven Cleveland''' was the 22nd and 24th [[President of the United States]], and was unique in that he was the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms. He was the only [[Democrat]] elected to the Presidency in the Republican dynasty that lasted from 1850s to when [[Woodrow Wilson]] was President, as a result of the Democratic failure to win the [[American Civil War]]. Many contemporary politicians praise him for his commitment to [[conservative]] thinking. Much like modern conservatives he opposed imperialism, corruption, patronage, corporate subsidies, taxes and inflation.

Cleveland was famous for busting the union train saboteurs during the Pullman strike of 1894 which angered the unions. He was also a big supporter of gold and a sworn enemy of silver. Even though he was the sitting President, unions and silver people kicked him out of the party, eventually, signifying a drastic shift of the Democrats to the left and leading to the nomination of William Jennings Bryan in 1896.
