Before electric lights, Christmas trees were illuminated with candles. Despite electricity being installed in the White House in 1891, it wasn’t until 1895 under President Grover Cleveland that the White House family Christmas tree was lit with hundreds of colorful electric bulbs!
[DARK TO LIGHT comms on Christmas / Christianity? TESLA—free energy / electricity? Ain’t that sheep in pic kinda BIG?]

Prez Grover Cleveland:
– 1st Dem elected after Civil War
– Only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later
– Won 1st presidency w/ support of Democrats AND republicans (“Mugwumps”)
– Ill at ease w/ comforts of White House (deplorable at heart?)
– “… vigorously pursued a policy barring special favors to any economic group”
– Vetoed bogus pension bills
– for railroad digfags: “He angered the railroads by ordering an investigation of western lands they held by Government grant. He forced them to return 81,000,000 acres. He also signed the Interstate Commerce Act, the first law attempting Federal regulation of the railroads”
– “He dealt directly with the Treasury crisis rather than with business failures, farm mortgage foreclosures, and unemployment”
– “He obtained repeal of the mildly inflationary Sherman Silver Purchase Act and, with the aid of Wall Street, maintained the Treasury’s gold reserve.”
– “Cleveland’s blunt treatment of the railroad strikers stirred the pride of many Americans.”
– “… he forced Great Britain to accept arbitration of a disputed boundary in Venezuela.
