Ocupation: 19th U.S. President
Life: October 4, 1822 - January 17, 1893
Birthday: October 4
Death: January 17
One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a soundcurrency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.
