An
Overview of Grover Cleveland's First
Administration Cleveland
occupied the White House during a time of swift
social and economic change. The growing strength
of labor unions and farm organizations created
new problems for government. But Cleveland lacked
the experience and vision to find completely
satisfactory answers to all the problems.
Although his intentions were always good, his
methods often fell short of success. |

Grover Cleveland became notable for his
single-minded concentration upon whatever task
faced him. At the age of 44 he suddenly emerged
into a political prominence that carried him to
the White House in less than four years. |

Cleveland was the youngest First
Lady ever to occupy the White House (21 years of
age), but she quickly earned nationwide respect
as a charming hostess and loyal wife. She was
seen as a fashion trendsetter and role model, and
her likeness was used to sell a variety of
products. |
