The Gilded Age is tricky.  Both parties were extremely pro-business.  From a lefty point of view, one could argue that while Republicans favored aid to big business, at least Cleveland and the Democrats didn’t want to help anyone, rich or poor.

The best example of and era where the Democratic candidates were to the right of their Republican counterparts would be 1856-1868.
