I'm sure he did considering that he supported Palmer's convention bid and, I believe, also supported his campaign.

I'm almost certain that he voted for Bryan in 1900.

For real or are you just stating who you think he voted for?

I vaguely remember that he voted for Bryan because of his anti-imperialism.

I could be wrong.

ive read that he respected and admired mckinley, though he had major disagreements with him.

i never got the impression that he cared for bryan one bit.

we do know that he voted republican at least once in his life, for lincoln in 1864.  (even though cleveland paid his way out of war service)

I definitely don't think he voted for Bryan at any time, considering that they were enemies. Bryan openly criticized the Gold Democrats several times.

According to Eugene Roseboom's "History of Presidential Elections",
Cleveland supported John M. Palmer, even though many of his subordinates remained in line and voted for Bryan.

Cleveland and Bryan never liked each other, and Cleveland voted against him in 1896 and in 1900. When Bryan was nominated again, Cleveland warned that it meant certain defeat, but died before the election in 1908.

It makes sense that he voted for Palmer. Cleveland despised the class warfare politics that Bryan pushed.
