Cleveland I Cabinet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grover Cleveland, 22nd President of the United States

Grover Cleveland was the first Democratic Party -appointed President of the United States since the start of the Civil War , when he was elected in 1884 . Although he did not succeed in being confirmed in office four years later , Cleveland faced again in 1892 against his successor Benjamin Harrison and this time prevailed. The cabinet list for his second term is under Cabinet Cleveland II .

One of the final acts before Cleveland left the White House for the first time was the creation of the Department of Agriculture . The first minister, Norman Jay Colman , took up his post in February 1889, so there was not even enough to confirm his appointment by the Senate .

Grover Cleveland served most of his first term without a deputy. Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks died in November 1885; the nomination of a successor before the next regular presidential election was not yet possible at this time.
