  史蒂芬·格罗弗·克利夫兰(Stephen Grover Cleveland,1837年3月18日-1908年6月24日),美国政治家,第22(1885年3月4日 – 1889年3月4日)和24任(March 4, 1893 – March 4, 1897)美国总统,是唯一分开任两届的总统,也是内战后第一个当选总统的民主党人。在他任期内,自由女神像在纽约市竖立。
  
  他被人认为是独立、诚实的总统,他在反腐败、反政党分赃等方面作了贡献,但也镇压工人罢工,否决过一些例如给灾民分发种子等的福利法案,还否决了照顾内战老兵的法案。对外,他反对扩张,实行孤立主义。他在当选前是一位律师,卸任后,他还在一家人寿保险公司供职。


  Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. Cleveland is the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms (1885–1889 and 1893–1897) and therefore is the only individual to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. He was the winner of the popular vote for President three times—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was the only Democrat elected to the Presidency in the era of Republican political domination that lasted from 1860 to 1912. Cleveland's admirers praise him for his honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. As a leader of the Bourbon Democrats, he opposed imperialism, taxes, subsidies and inflationary policies, but as a reformer he also worked against corruption, patronage, and bossism.
  
  Some of Cleveland's actions caused controversy even within his own party. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 in order to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions, and his support of the gold standard and opposition to free silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democrats. Furthermore, critics complained that he had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic disasters—depressions and strikes—in his second term. Even so, his reputation for honesty and good character survived the troubles of his second term. Biographer Allan Nevins wrote, "in Grover Cleveland the greatness lies in typical rather than unusual qualities. He had no endowments that thousands of men do not have. He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not."
