This is a campaign ribbon for Grover Cleveland for the 1884 presidential election. The ribbon is red with black printing on it.

At the top of the ribbon, below the pin, "We have waited Patiently!" is printed in black. This phrase is followed below with an illustrated jugate of Grover Cleveland and his running mate, Thomas A. Hendricks, in black. Below the jugate is a black illustration of a rooster facing the viewer's right. "And now We've Got 'Em" is printed toward the bottom of the ribbon, also in black. |
