(Friday, October 23, 1835) — Adlai Stevenson I, the 23rd vice president of the United States under President Grover Cleveland (1893-1897), was born today in Christian County, Kentucky.

During his term of office, Stevenson supported the free-silver lobby against the gold-standard men like Cleveland, but was praised for governing in a dignified, non-partisan manner.
