In 1884, Tammany Hall, led by Boss 'Honest John' Kelly, vehemently opposed the nomination and eventual candidacy of New York Governor Grover Cleveland for the presidency of the United States. Although both belonged to the Democratic Party, Kelly deeply resented Cleveland's lack of patronage to Tammany Hall during his tenure as Governor. Cleveland promised if elected, to clean up the corruption that ruled New York politics, and Kelly feared it would end Tammany's and his rule.
