Cleveland (1837-1908) and Thurman (1831-1895) were defeated in the presidential campaign of 1888. According to Hillary Weiss in "The American Bandanna," "one night at a Democratic rally, vice-presidential nominee Allen Thurman pulled a red bandana from his pocket, complaining it would have been cheaper without the import tariff. He was dubbed 'Old Pockethandkerchief,' ... and the red bandanna itself, became the Democrats' 1888 symbol of consumer rights."
