The Buffalo mayoral election of 1881 saw the election of former Erie County Sheriff Grover Cleveland, who defeated architect and alderman Milton Beebe by what was considered a broad margin.[1]
Cleveland would not serve out his entire term as mayor, as he would be subsequently elected Governor of New York the following year.
