The digital collections of the Library of Congress contain a wide variety of material associated with Grover Cleveland, including the Grover Cleveland Papers. Prior to his election as president, Cleveland served as the mayor of Buffalo (1882) and the governor of New York (1883-85). In 1884, Cleveland was elected president of the United States (1885-89), the first Democrat to be elected president since the Civil War. Despite winning the popular vote in the 1888 presidential election, he was defeated for re-election by Benjamin Harrison in the Electoral College vote. Cleveland spent the next four years working in a law firm in New York City. In 1892, Cleveland was elected president for a second time, the only president of the United States to serve two non-consecutive terms in office.
