Brooklyn Young Republican Club.
The 1888 United States Presidential election was between Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland and Republican nominee Benjamin Harrison, and resulted in a victory for Harrison. Cleveland won the Presidency back from Harrison in 1892, and in so doing became the only United States President ever to serve two non-consecutive terms.
