CLEVELAND, Grover (1837-1908) Elected as the 22nd and 24th United States President. His efficiency, honesty, and independence from the state political machine took him to the presidency in 1884. During his first term he pursued civil service reform and lowered a protective tariff that was hurting labor. The latter, however, earned him the enmity of big-business interests. Their man, Benjamin Harrison, won the close election of 1888. Cleveland came back to beat the ineffectual Harrison in 1892, but his second term was troubled by economic problems. Document Signed “Grover Cleveland, as President of the United States, 1pp. 19-1/4”x17”, on unusual and very ornate “GROVER CLEVELAND, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” form, appointing Edward H. Chase as Postmaster in Dexter, Maine. With seal and ribbon intact. Fine condition.
