The Electiоn оf 1884 lаrgely becаme а battle оf personal character between the candidates, the Republican James G. Blaine and the Democrat Grover Cleveland. Blaine had been associated with several political scandals while Cleveland had fathered a bastard child with Maria Halpin (by rape, according to the mother of the child who Cleveland ultimately had placed in an insane asylum). A popular campaign refrain was “ma, ma, where’s my pa? Gone to the White House, ha-ha-ha.” Voters ultimately decided in favor of Cleveland in a close election that hinged on his home state of New York. Cleveland admitted an illicit relationship with Halpin (but fell short of claiming the child was his and outright denying the rape claim) and voters claimed to appreciate his honesty in personal affairs more so than Blaine’s denial of political corruption. Blaine’s connection to an anti-Catholic campaign slogan criticizing the Democratic party of poor morals, connection to the Civil War, and to Catholic immigrants also helped sink his campaign. The slogan, [BLANK-1], led many Irish immigrants in New York to vote for Cleveland, ultimately swaying the election. Cleveland’s personal scandals did not end with his election. In 1886 he married Frances Folsom in the White House, becoming the first sitting president to marry. The 21-year-old Frances was 28 years younger than the president on their wedding day. The age gap was further complicated by the fact that she had been his law partner’s daughter whom he had known since she was an infant; when her father died when she was 11, Cleveland became her legal guardian and he helped raise her from that point forward. Rumors also abounded that Cleveland beat women, however, Frances maintained throughout her life that this was not true.
