Benjamin Harrison (August 20, 1833 – March 13, 1901) was the 23rd <a href="President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">president of the United States</a>, serving from 1889 to 1893. He was a member of the <a href="Harrison_family_of_Virginia" title="Harrison family of Virginia">Harrison family of Virginia</a>—a grandson of the ninth president, <a href="William_Henry_Harrison" title="William Henry Harrison">William Henry Harrison</a>, and a great-grandson of <a href="Benjamin_Harrison_V" title="Benjamin Harrison V">Benjamin Harrison V</a>, a <a href="Founding_Fathers_of_the_United_States" title="Founding Fathers of the United States">Founding Father</a>. A Union army veteran and a Republican, he defeated incumbent <a href="Grover_Cleveland" title="Grover Cleveland">Grover Cleveland</a> to win the presidency in 1888.

After moving to <a href="Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a>, he established himself as a prominent local attorney, Presbyterian church leader, and politician in <a href="Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a>. During the <a href="American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, he served in the <a href="Union_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Union Army">Union Army</a> as a <a href="Colonel_(United_States)" title="Colonel (United States)">colonel</a>, and was confirmed by the <a href="United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">U.S. Senate</a> as a <a href="Brevet_(military)" class="mw-redirect" title="Brevet (military)">brevet</a> <a href="Brigadier_general_(United_States)" title="Brigadier general (United States)">brigadier general</a> of volunteers in 1865. Harrison unsuccessfully ran for <a href="Governor_of_Indiana" title="Governor of Indiana">governor of Indiana</a> in 1876. The <a href="Indiana_General_Assembly" title="Indiana General Assembly">Indiana General Assembly</a> elected Harrison to a six-year term in the Senate, where he served from 1881 to 1887.

A <a href="History_of_the_Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="History of the Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a>, Harrison was elected to the presidency in <a href="1888_United_States_presidential_election" title="1888 United States presidential election">1888</a>, defeating the <a href="History_of_the_Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="History of the Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a> incumbent Grover Cleveland in the <a href="United_States_Electoral_College" title="United States Electoral College">Electoral College</a> while losing the popular vote. Hallmarks of Harrison's administration were unprecedented economic legislation, including the <a href="McKinley_Tariff" title="McKinley Tariff">McKinley Tariff</a>, which imposed historic protective trade rates, and the <a href="Sherman_Antitrust_Act" title="Sherman Antitrust Act">Sherman Antitrust Act</a>. Harrison also facilitated the creation of the <a href="United_States_National_Forest" class="mw-redirect" title="United States National Forest">national forest reserves</a> through an amendment to the <a href="General_Revision_Act" title="General Revision Act">Land Revision Act of 1891</a>. During his administration six western states were admitted to the Union. In addition, Harrison substantially strengthened and modernized the <a href="United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">U.S. Navy</a> and conducted an active foreign policy, but his proposals to secure federal education funding as well as voting rights enforcement for African Americans were unsuccessful.

Due in large part to surplus revenues from the tariffs, federal spending reached $1 billion for the first time during his term. The spending issue in part led to the Republicans' defeat in the <a href="1890_United_States_House_election" class="mw-redirect" title="1890 United States House election">1890 midterm elections</a>. Cleveland defeated Harrison for reelection in <a href="1892_United_States_presidential_election" title="1892 United States presidential election">1892</a>, due to the growing unpopularity of high tariffs and high federal spending. Harrison returned to private life and his law practice in Indianapolis. In 1899, he represented <a href="United_States_of_Venezuela" title="United States of Venezuela">Venezuela</a> in its <a href="British_Guiana" title="British Guiana">British Guiana</a> <a href="Guyana%E2%80%93Venezuela_territorial_dispute" title="Guyana–Venezuela territorial dispute">boundary dispute</a> with the <a href="United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">United Kingdom</a>. Harrison traveled to the court in Paris as part of the case and after a brief stay returned to Indianapolis. He died at his home in Indianapolis in 1901 of complications from <a href="Influenza" title="Influenza">influenza</a>. Many have praised Harrison's commitment to African Americans' voting rights, his work ethic, and his integrity, but scholars and historians generally <a href="Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States" title="Historical rankings of presidents of the United States">rank</a> him as an average president, due to the uneventful nature of his term.<a href="#cite_note-MillerCenter-1">[1]</a> He was defeated by Cleveland in 1892, becoming the first president to be succeeded in office by his predecessor.

Harrison was born on August 20, 1833, in <a href="North_Bend%2C_Ohio" title="North Bend, Ohio">North Bend, Ohio</a>, the second of Elizabeth Ramsey (Irwin) and <a href="John_Scott_Harrison" title="John Scott Harrison">John Scott Harrison</a>'s 10 children. His ancestors included immigrant Benjamin Harrison, who arrived in <a href="Jamestown%2C_Virginia" title="Jamestown, Virginia">Jamestown, Virginia</a>, c. 1630 from <a href="England" title="England">England</a>. Harrison was of entirely English ancestry, all of his ancestors having emigrated to America during the early colonial period.<a href="#cite_note-Bruce_Stanard_1894-2">[2]</a>

Harrison was a grandson of U.S. President <a href="William_Henry_Harrison" title="William Henry Harrison">William Henry Harrison</a> and a great-grandson of <a href="Benjamin_Harrison_V" title="Benjamin Harrison V">Benjamin Harrison V</a>, a Virginia planter who signed the <a href="United_States_Declaration_of_Independence" title="United States Declaration of Independence">Declaration of Independence</a> and succeeded <a href="List_of_governors_of_Virginia" title="List of governors of Virginia">Thomas Nelson Jr.</a> as <a href="Governor_of_Virginia" title="Governor of Virginia">governor of Virginia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun20057–8-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarnhartRiker1971315-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEOwens20076-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-VIII-6">[a]</a>

Harrison was seven years old when his grandfather was elected U.S. president, but he did not attend <a href="Inauguration_of_William_Henry_Harrison" title="Inauguration of William Henry Harrison">the inauguration</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun20058-7">[6]</a> His family was distinguished, but his parents were not wealthy. John Scott Harrison, a two-term <a href="United_State_Congress" class="mw-redirect" title="United State Congress">U.S. congressman</a> from <a href="Ohio" title="Ohio">Ohio</a>, spent much of his farm income on his children's education.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun20059Sievers1968v._1,_pp._21–23-8">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBoomhower49-9">[8]</a> Despite the family's modest resources, Harrison's boyhood was enjoyable, much of it spent outdoors fishing or hunting.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESievers196822–23v._1-10">[9]</a>

Harrison's early schooling took place in a log cabin near his home,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200510-11">[10]</a> but his parents later arranged for a tutor to help him with college preparatory studies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESievers196824–29v._1-12">[11]</a> Fourteen-year-old Benjamin and his older brother, Irwin, enrolled in <a href="Farmer's_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Farmer's College">Farmer's College</a> near <a href="Cincinnati" title="Cincinnati">Cincinnati</a>, Ohio, in 1847.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESievers196829–30v._1-13">[12]</a> He attended the college for two years<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace188853-14">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-Farmer's_College-15">[b]</a> and while there met his future wife, <a href="Caroline_Harrison" title="Caroline Harrison">Caroline "Carrie" Lavinia Scott</a>.

After his college graduation in 1852, Harrison studied law with Judge <a href="Bellamy_Storer_(1796%E2%80%931875)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bellamy Storer (1796–1875)">Bellamy Storer</a> of <a href="Cincinnati%2C_Ohio" class="mw-redirect" title="Cincinnati, Ohio">Cincinnati</a>, but before he completed his studies, he returned to Oxford, Ohio, to marry Caroline Scott<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200511–12,_15,_23-24">[22]</a> on October 20, 1853. Caroline's father, a Presbyterian minister, performed the ceremony.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200523-21">[19]</a> The Harrisons had two children, <a href="Russell_Benjamin_Harrison" title="Russell Benjamin Harrison">Russell Benjamin Harrison</a> and <a href="Mary_Harrison_McKee" title="Mary Harrison McKee">Mary "Mamie" Scott Harrison</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200527,_29-25">[23]</a>

Harrison and his wife returned to live at The Point, his father's farm in southwestern Ohio, while he finished his law studies. Harrison was admitted to the Ohio bar in early 1854,<a href="#cite_note-26">[24]</a> the same year he sold property he had inherited after the death of an aunt for $800 (equivalent to $27,997 in 2024), and used the funds to move with Caroline to <a href="Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a>, <a href="Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200526-27">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGugin_and_St._Clair159-28">[26]</a> Harrison began practicing law in the office of John H. Ray in 1854 and became a <a href="Town_crier" title="Town crier">crier</a> for the federal court in Indianapolis, for which he was paid $2.50 per day.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200527,_29-25">[23]</a> He also served as a Commissioner for the <a href="United_States_Court_of_Claims" title="United States Court of Claims">U.S. Court of Claims</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECowen_et_al.92-29">[27]</a> Harrison became a founding member and first president of both the University Club, a private <a href="Gentlemen's_club" title="Gentlemen's club">gentlemen's club</a> in Indianapolis, and the Phi Delta Theta Alumni Club.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200522-30">[28]</a> Harrison and his wife became members and assumed leadership positions at Indianapolis's First Presbyterian Church.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter7-31">[29]</a>

Having grown up in a <a href="Whig_party_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Whig party (United States)">Whig</a> household, Harrison initially favored that party's politics, and joined the <a href="United_States_Republican_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Republican Party">Republican Party</a> shortly after its formation in 1856 and campaigned on behalf of Republican presidential candidate <a href="John_C._Fr%C3%A9mont" title="John C.

In 1858, Harrison entered into a law partnership with William Wallace to form the law office of Wallace and Harrison.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200528Sievers1968v._1,_p._105-35">[33]</a> In 1860, he was elected <a href="Reporter_of_decisions" title="Reporter of decisions">reporter</a> of the <a href="Indiana_Supreme_Court" title="Indiana Supreme Court">Indiana Supreme Court</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBoomhower50-34">[32]</a> Harrison was an active supporter of the Republican Party's platform and served as Republican State Committee's secretary. After Wallace, his law partner, was elected county clerk in 1860, Harrison established a new firm with William Fishback, Fishback and Harrison.

In 1862, <a href="President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President</a> <a href="Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a> issued a call for more recruits for the Union Army; Harrison wanted to enlist, but worried about how to support his young family.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200520-37">[35]</a> While visiting Governor <a href="Oliver_Morton" class="mw-redirect" title="Oliver Morton">Oliver Morton</a>, Harrison found him distressed over the shortage of men answering the latest call. Harrison told the governor, "If I can be of any service, I will go."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace1888180Calhoun200534-38">[36]</a>

Morton asked Harrison if he could help recruit a regiment, although he would not ask him to serve. Harrison recruited throughout northern Indiana to raise a regiment. Morton offered him the command, but Harrison declined, as he had no military experience. He was initially commissioned as a captain and company commander on July 22, 1862. Morton commissioned Harrison as a colonel on August 7, 1862, and the newly formed <a href="70th_Indiana_Infantry_Regiment" title="70th Indiana Infantry Regiment">70th Indiana</a> was mustered into federal service on August 12, 1862. Once mustered, the regiment left Indiana to join the Union Army at Louisville, Kentucky.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace1888180–181Calhoun200521–23,_41,_44-39">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-40">[38]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Atlanta_campaign">Atlanta campaign</h3></div>

For much of its first two years, the 70th Indiana performed reconnaissance duty and guarded railroads in <a href="Kentucky" title="Kentucky">Kentucky</a> and <a href="Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a>. In May 1864, Harrison and his regiment joined General <a href="William_T._Sherman" class="mw-redirect" title="William T. Sherman">William T. Sherman</a>'s <a href="Atlanta_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlanta Campaign">Atlanta Campaign</a> in the <a href="Army_of_the_Cumberland" title="Army of the Cumberland">Army of the Cumberland</a> and moved to the front lines.<a href="#cite_note-41">[39]</a> On January 2, 1864, Harrison was promoted to command the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the <a href="XX_Corps_(Union_Army)" class="mw-redirect" title="XX Corps (Union Army)">XX Corps</a>. He commanded the brigade at the battles of <a href="Battle_of_Resaca" title="Battle of Resaca">Resaca</a>, <a href="Cassville%2C_Georgia" title="Cassville, Georgia">Cassville</a>, <a href="Battle_of_New_Hope_Church" title="Battle of New Hope Church">New Hope Church</a>, Lost Mountain, <a href="Battle_of_Kennesaw_Mountain" title="Battle of Kennesaw Mountain">Kennesaw Mountain</a>, <a href="Battle_of_Marietta" title="Battle of Marietta">Marietta</a>, <a href="Battle_of_Peachtree_Creek" title="Battle of Peachtree Creek">Peachtree Creek</a>, and <a href="Battle_of_Atlanta" title="Battle of Atlanta">Atlanta</a>. When Sherman's main force began its <a href="Sherman's_March_to_the_Sea" title="Sherman's March to the Sea">March to the Sea</a>, Harrison's brigade was transferred to the District of Etowah and participated in the <a href="Battle_of_Nashville" title="Battle of Nashville">Battle of Nashville</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200536–44Wallace1888209–225-42">[40]</a> While encamped near Nashville, during a particularly cold winter, Harrison prepared coffee and brought it to his freezing men at night; his constant catchphrase as he took lead of his men was: "Come on, boys!" Harrison earned a reputation as a strong leader and an officer who did not abandon his soldiers in battle.<a href="#cite_note-:1-43">[41]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Resaca">Resaca</h4></div>

At the Battle of Resaca on May 15, 1864, Harrison faced Confederate Captain <a href="Max_Corput" title="Max Corput">Max Van Den Corput's</a> artillery battery, which occupied a position "some eighty yards in front of the main Confederate lines".<a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[42]</a> Sherman, renewing his assault on the center of the Confederate lines begun the previous day, was halted by Corput's four-gun, parapet-protected artillery battery; the battery was well placed to bedevil the Union ranks, and became "the center of a furious struggle".<a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[42]</a> Corput's artillery redoubt was highly fortified "with three infantry regiments in...rifle pits and four more regiments in the main trenches".<a href="#cite_note-:2-45">[43]</a> Leading the <a href="70th_Indiana_Infantry_Regiment" title="70th Indiana Infantry Regiment">70th Indiana</a> Infantry Regiment, Harrison massed his troops in a ravine opposite Corput's position, along with the rest of Brigadier General <a href="William_Thomas_Ward" title="William Thomas Ward">William Thomas Ward's</a> brigade.<a href="#cite_note-:2-45">[43]</a> Harrison and his regiment, leading the assault, then emerged from the ravine, advanced over the artillery parapet, overcame the Confederate gunners, and eliminated the threat. The battery was captured by hand-to-hand combat, and intense combat continued throughout the afternoon.<a href="#cite_note-:2-45">[43]</a> Harrison's unit, now exposed, found itself immediately subject to intense gunfire from the main Confederate ranks and was forced to take cover.<a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[42]</a> Although no longer in Confederate hands, Corput's four 12-pound Napoleon cannons<a href="#cite_note-:2-45">[43]</a> sat in a "no man's land" until nightfall, when Union soldiers "dug through the parapet, slipped ropes around the four cannons, and dragged them back to [their] lines".<a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[42]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Peachtree_Creek">Peachtree Creek</h4></div>

During the Battle of Peachtree Creek, on July 20, 1864, Harrison commanded his brigade against General <a href="Winfield_S._Featherston" title="Winfield S. Featherston">W. S. Featherston's</a> Mississippi Brigade, stopping the latter's "fierce assault" over Collier Road.<a href="#cite_note-46">[44]</a> At Peachtree Creek, Harrison's brigade comprised the <a href="102nd_Illinois_Infantry_Regiment" title="102nd Illinois Infantry Regiment">102nd</a>, <a href="105th_Illinois_Infantry_Regiment" title="105th Illinois Infantry Regiment">105th</a>, and <a href="129th_Illinois_Infantry_Regiment" title="129th Illinois Infantry Regiment">129th Illinois Infantry Regiments</a>, the <a href="79th_Ohio_Infantry_Regiment" title="79th Ohio Infantry Regiment">79th Ohio Infantry Regiment</a>, and his 70th Indiana Regiment; his brigade deployed in about the center of the Union line, engaging Major General <a href="William_Wing_Loring" title="William Wing Loring">William Wing Loring's</a> Mississippi division and Alabama troops from General <a href="Alexander_P._Stewart" title="Alexander P. Stewart">Alexander Stewart</a>'s corps.<a href="#cite_note-47">[45]</a> In his report after the battle, Harrison wrote that "at one time during the fight", with his ammunition dangerously depleted, he sent his acting assistant inspector-general Captain Scott and others to cut "cartridge-boxes from the rebel dead within our lines" and distribute them to his soldiers.<a href="#cite_note-48">[46]</a> According to Harrison's report, the losses from his brigade were "very slight" compared with those of Confederate forces. He thought this was because of battlefield topography, writing: "I believe, that the enemy, having the higher ground, fired too high."<a href="#cite_note-49">[47]</a> Harrison later supported the creation of an Atlanta National Military Park, which would have included "substantial portions" of the Peachtree battlefield, writing in 1900: "The military incidents connected with the investment and ultimate capture of Atlanta are certainly worthy of commemoration and I should be glad to see the project succeed."<a href="#cite_note-50">[48]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Surrender_of_Atlanta_and_promotion">Surrender of Atlanta and promotion</h4></div>

After the conclusion of the Atlanta Campaign on September 2, 1864, Harrison was among the initial Union forces to enter the surrendered city of Atlanta; General Sherman opined that Harrison served with "foresight, discipline and a fighting spirit".<a href="#cite_note-:3-51">[49]</a> After the Atlanta Campaign, Harrison reported to Governor Morton in Indiana for special duty, and while there he campaigned for the position of Indiana's Supreme Court Reporter and for President Lincoln's reelection; after the election he left for Georgia to join Sherman's <a href="Sherman's_March_to_the_Sea" title="Sherman's March to the Sea">March to the Sea</a>, but instead was "given command of the 1st Brigade at Nashville".<a href="#cite_note-:9-52">[50]</a> Harrison led the brigade at the <a href="Battle_of_Nashville" title="Battle of Nashville">Battle of Nashville</a> in December, in a "decisive" action against the forces of General <a href="John_Bell_Hood" title="John Bell Hood">John Bell Hood</a>.<a href="#cite_note-53">[51]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[52]</a> Notwithstanding his memorable military achievements and the praise he received for them, Harrison held a dim view of war. According to historian Allan B. Spetter, he thought "war was a dirty business that no decent man would find pleasurable".<a href="#cite_note-:3-51">[49]</a> In 1888, the year he won the presidency, Harrison declared: "We Americans have no commission from God to police the world."<a href="#cite_note-55">[53]</a>

Several weeks after the Battle of Nashville, Harrison "received orders to rejoin the 70th Indiana at Savannah, Georgia, after a brief furlough in Indianapolis", but he caught scarlet fever and was delayed for a month, and then spent "several months training replacement troops in South Carolina".<a href="#cite_note-:9-52">[50]</a>

On January 23, 1865, Lincoln nominated Harrison to the grade of <a href="Brevet_(military)" class="mw-redirect" title="Brevet (military)">brevet</a> <a href="Brigadier_general_(United_States)" title="Brigadier general (United States)">brigadier general</a> of volunteers, to rank from that date, and the Senate confirmed the nomination on February 14, 1865.<a href="#cite_note-56">[54]</a> Harrison was promoted because of his success at the battles of Resaca and Peachtree Creek.<a href="#cite_note-57">[55]</a> He finally returned to his old regiment the same day that news of Lincoln's assassination was received.<a href="#cite_note-:9-52">[50]</a> He rode in the <a href="Grand_Review_of_the_Armies" title="Grand Review of the Armies">Grand Review</a> in Washington, D.C. before mustering out with the 70th Indiana on June 8, 1865.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200536–44Wallace1888209–225-42">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-:9-52">[50]</a>

While serving in the Union Army in October 1864, Harrison was once again elected <a href="Reporter_of_decisions" title="Reporter of decisions">reporter</a> of the <a href="Indiana_Supreme_Court" title="Indiana Supreme Court">Indiana Supreme Court</a>, although he did not seek the position, and served as the Court's reporter for four more years. The position was not a politically powerful one, but it provided Harrison with a steady income for his work preparing and publishing court opinions, which he sold to the legal profession.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200519-58">[56]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKinzer146–47-59">[57]</a> Harrison also resumed his law practice in Indianapolis. He became a skilled orator and known as "one of the state's leading lawyers".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGugin_and_St._Clair159-28">[26]</a> His successful prosecution of Nancy Clem for the <a href="Cold_Spring_murders" title="Cold Spring murders">Cold Spring murders</a> of 1868 brought him particular attention, although her conviction was twice overturned on appeal.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale200652–53-60">[58]</a>

In 1869 President <a href="Ulysses_Simpson_Grant" class="mw-redirect" title="Ulysses Simpson Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a> appointed Harrison to represent the federal government in a civil suit filed by <a href="Lambdin_P._Milligan" title="Lambdin P. Milligan">Lambdin P. Milligan</a>, whose controversial wartime conviction for <a href="Treason" title="Treason">treason</a> in 1864 led to the landmark <a href="Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">U.S. Supreme Court</a> case <a href="Ex_parte_Milligan" title="Ex parte Milligan">Ex parte Milligan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBodenhamerBarrows1994444–445-61">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-Case-62">[60]</a> The civil case was referred to the U.S. Circuit Court for Indiana at Indianapolis, where it evolved into Milligan v. Hovey.<a href="#cite_note-MilliganHovey-63">[61]</a> Although the jury found in Milligan's favor and he had sought hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, state and federal statutes limited the amount the federal government had to award Milligan to five dollars plus court costs.<a href="#cite_note-MilliganHovey-63">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200528-64">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace188893–94,_119-65">[63]</a>

Given his rising reputation, local Republicans urged Harrison to run for Congress. He initially confined his political activities to speaking on behalf of other Republican candidates, a task for which he received high praise from his colleagues.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200527–28Socolofsky_&_Spetter8-66">[64]</a> In 1872, Harrison campaigned for the Republican nomination for <a href="Governor_of_Indiana" title="Governor of Indiana">governor of Indiana</a>. Former governor Oliver Morton favored his opponent, <a href="Thomas_M._Browne" title="Thomas M. Browne">Thomas M. Browne</a>, and Harrison lost his bid for statewide office.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale200628-67">[65]</a> He returned to his law practice and, despite the <a href="Panic_of_1873" title="Panic of 1873">Panic of 1873</a>, was financially successful enough to build a grand new home in Indianapolis in 1874.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200529-68">[66]</a> He continued to make speeches on behalf of Republican candidates and policies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200530-69">[67]</a>

In 1876, when a scandal forced the original Republican nominee, <a href="Godlove_Stein_Orth" class="mw-redirect" title="Godlove Stein Orth">Godlove Stein Orth</a>, to drop out of the gubernatorial race, Harrison accepted the party's invitation to take his place on the ticket.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200532Socolofsky_&_Spetter8-70">[68]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGugin_and_St._Clair159Kinzer148-71">[69]</a> He centered his campaign on economic policy and favored deflating the national currency. He was defeated in a plurality by <a href="James_D._Williams" title="James D. Williams">James D. Williams</a>, losing by 5,084 votes out 434,457 cast,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace1888266Calhoun200532_&_58-72">[70]</a> but Harrison built on his new prominence in state politics. When the <a href="Great_Railroad_Strike_of_1877" title="Great Railroad Strike of 1877">Great Railroad Strike of 1877</a> reached Indianapolis, he gathered a citizen militia to make a show of support for owners and management,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGugin_and_St._Clair159-28">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFoner584-73">[71]</a> and helped mediate an agreement between the workers and management and to prevent the strike from widening.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200533–34-74">[72]</a>

When U.S. Senator Morton died in 1877, the Republicans nominated Harrison to run for the seat, but the party failed to gain a majority in the state legislature, which at that time elected senators; the Democratic majority elected <a href="Daniel_W._Voorhees" title="Daniel W.

After Harrison led Indiana's delegation at the 1880 Republican National Convention, he was considered the state's presumptive candidate for U.S. Senate. He gave speeches in favor of Garfield in Indiana and New York, further raising his profile in the party. When Republicans retook the majority in the <a href="Indiana_General_Assembly" title="Indiana General Assembly">state legislature</a>, Harrison's election to a six-year term in the U.S. Senate was threatened by Judge <a href="Walter_Q._Gresham" title="Walter Q. Gresham">Walter Q. Gresham</a>, his intraparty rival, but Harrison was ultimately chosen.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200537-79">[76]</a> After Garfield's election as president in 1880, his administration offered Harrison a cabinet position, but Harrison declined in favor of continuing his service in the Senate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200560Socolofsky_&_Spetter8-80">[77]</a>

Harrison served in the Senate from March 4, 1881, to March 3, 1887, and chaired the <a href="United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Transportation_Routes_to_the_Seaboard" title="United States Senate Committee on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard">U.S. Senate Committee on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard</a> (<a href="Forty-seventh_United_States_Congress" class="mw-redirect" title="Forty-seventh United States Congress">47th Congress</a>) and the <a href="United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Territories" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Senate Committee on Territories">U.S. Senate Committee on Territories</a> (<a href="Forty-eighth_United_States_Congress" class="mw-redirect" title="Forty-eighth United States Congress">48th</a> and <a href="Forty-ninth_United_States_Congress" class="mw-redirect" title="Forty-ninth United States Congress">49th Congresses</a>).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace1888265–267Calhoun200559-81">[78]</a>

In 1881, the major issue confronting Senator Harrison was the budget surplus. Democrats wanted to reduce the <a href="Tariff" title="Tariff">tariff</a> and limit the amount of money the government took in; Republicans instead wanted to spend the money on <a href="Internal_improvements" title="Internal improvements">internal improvements</a> and pensions for Civil War veterans. Harrison took his party's side and advocated for generous <a href="Pension" title="Pension">pensions</a> for veterans and their widows.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200539-82">[79]</a> He also unsuccessfully supported aid for the education of Southerners, especially children of the freedmen; he believed education was necessary to help the black population rise to political and economic equality with whites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200539–40-83">[80]</a> Harrison opposed the <a href="Chinese_Exclusion_Act_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chinese Exclusion Act (United States)">Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882</a>, which his party supported, because he thought it violated existing treaties with <a href="China" title="China">China</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200540-84">[81]</a>

In 1884, Harrison and Gresham competed for influence at the <a href="1884_Republican_National_Convention" title="1884 Republican National Convention">1884 Republican National Convention</a>; the delegation ended up supporting Senator <a href="James_G._Blaine" title="James G. Blaine">James G. Blaine</a>, the eventual nominee.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200541–42-85">[82]</a> During the <a href="Mugwumps" title="Mugwumps">Mugwump</a> rebellion led by reform Republicans against Blaine's candidacy, Harrison at first stood aloof, "refusing to put his hat in the presidential ring", but after walking the middle ground he eventually supported Blaine "with energy and enthusiasm".<a href="#cite_note-:4-86">[83]</a> In the Senate, Harrison achieved passage of his Dependent Pension Bill, only to see it vetoed by President <a href="Grover_Cleveland" title="Grover Cleveland">Grover Cleveland</a>. His efforts to further the admission of new western states were stymied by Democrats, who feared that the new states would elect Republicans to Congress.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200542-87">[84]</a>

In 1885 the Democrats redistricted the Indiana state legislature, which resulted in an increased Democratic majority in 1886, despite a statewide Republican majority.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200543–44-88">[85]</a> In 1887, largely as a result of the Democratic <a href="Gerrymandering" title="Gerrymandering">gerrymandering</a> of Indiana's legislative districts, Harrison was defeated for reelection.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGugin_and_St._Clair159-28">[26]</a> After a deadlock in the <a href="Indiana_Senate" title="Indiana Senate">state senate</a>, the state legislature eventually chose Democrat <a href="David_Turpie" title="David Turpie">David Turpie</a> as Harrison's successor in the Senate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale200666-89">[86]</a> Harrison returned to Indianapolis and resumed his law practice, but stayed active in state and national politics.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200545–46-90">[87]</a> A year after his senatorial defeat, Harrison declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination; he dubbed himself a "living and rejuvenated Republican", a reference to his lack of a power base.<a href="#cite_note-:4-86">[83]</a> Thereafter, the phrase "'Rejuvenated Republicanism' became the slogan of his presidential campaign."<a href="#cite_note-:4-86">[83]</a>

After his narrow loss to Cleveland in 1884, Blaine became the front-runner for 1888, but removed his name from contention.<a href="#cite_note-:5-91">[88]</a> After he wrote several letters denying any interest in the nomination, his supporters divided among other candidates, Senator <a href="John_Sherman_(politician)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Sherman (politician)">John Sherman</a> of Ohio foremost among them.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200547-92">[89]</a> Others, including <a href="Chauncey_Depew" title="Chauncey Depew">Chauncey Depew</a> of <a href="New_York_(state)" title="New York (state)">New York</a>, <a href="Russell_Alger" class="mw-redirect" title="Russell Alger">Russell Alger</a> of <a href="Michigan" title="Michigan">Michigan</a>, and Harrison's old nemesis Walter Q.

The convention opened on June 19 at the <a href="Auditorium_Building_(Chicago)" class="mw-redirect" title="Auditorium Building (Chicago)">Auditorium Building</a> in Chicago, Illinois.<a href="#cite_note-:6-93">[90]</a> Proceedings began with an announcement of the party platform; Lincoln was extolled as the "first great leader" of the Republican Party and an "immortal champion of liberty and the rights of the people."<a href="#cite_note-:7-94">[91]</a> Republican presidents Grant, Garfield, and Arthur were likewise acknowledged with "remembrance and gratitude". The "fundamental idea of the Republican party" was declared to be "hostility to all forms of despotism and oppression", and the Brazilian people were congratulated for their <a href="Abolition_of_slavery_in_Brazil" class="mw-redirect" title="Abolition of slavery in Brazil">recent abolition of slavery</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:7-94">[91]</a> The convention alleged that the "present Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress owe their existence to the suppression of the ballot by a criminal nullification of the Constitution." Anticipating a principal part of Harrison's campaign, the convention also declared itself "uncompromisingly in favor of the <a href="American_System_(economic_plan)" title="American System (economic plan)">American system of protection</a>" and protested "against its destruction as proposed by the President and his party."<a href="#cite_note-95">[92]</a> The tariff was later to become the "main issue of the campaign" in 1888.<a href="#cite_note-:5-91">[88]</a> The admission of six new states during Harrison's term, between 1889 and 1890, was foreshadowed with the declaration: "whenever the conditions of population, material resources...and morality are such as to insure a stable local government," the people "should be permitted...to form for themselves constitutions and State government, and be admitted into the Union."<a href="#cite_note-:7-94">[91]</a> The convention insisted that "The pending bills in the Senate to enable the people of Washington, North Dakota and Montana Territories to...establish State governments, should be passed without unnecessary delay."<a href="#cite_note-:7-94">[91]</a> The convention began with 17 candidates for the nomination.<a href="#cite_note-:6-93">[90]</a>

Harrison placed fifth on the first ballot, with Sherman in the lead, and the next few ballots showed little change.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200550-96">[93]</a> As the convention proceeded, Harrison became "everyone's second choice in a field of seven candidates".<a href="#cite_note-:4-86">[83]</a> Then, after Sherman "faltered in the balloting",<a href="#cite_note-:4-86">[83]</a> Harrison gained support.

Harrison reprised the traditional <a href="Front_porch_campaign" title="Front porch campaign">front-porch campaign</a> abandoned by his immediate predecessors; he received visiting delegations to Indianapolis and made over 90 pronouncements from his hometown.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter11-101">[98]</a> Republicans campaigned heavily in favor of <a href="Tariff" title="Tariff">protective tariffs</a>, turning out protectionist voters in the important industrial states of the North.

After the election, Harrison never spoke to Dudley again.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilliams191–192-107">[104]</a>

Harrison had made no political bargains, but his supporters had made many pledges on his behalf.

Harrison was sworn into office on Monday, March 4, 1889, by <a href="Chief_Justice_of_the_United_States" title="Chief Justice of the United States">Chief Justice</a> <a href="Melville_Fuller" title="Melville Fuller">Melville Fuller</a>. His speech was brief—half as long as that of his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, whose speech remains the longest inaugural address of a U.S. president.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter1–2-111">[108]</a> In his speech, Benjamin Harrison credited the nation's growth to the influences of education and religion, urged the cotton states and mining territories to attain the industrial proportions of the eastern states, and promised a protective tariff. Of commerce, he said, "If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal obligations and duties, they would have less call to complain of the limitations of their rights or of interference with their operations."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter3-112">[109]</a> Harrison also urged early statehood for the territories and advocated pensions for veterans, a call that met with enthusiastic applause. In foreign affairs, he reaffirmed the <a href="Monroe_Doctrine" title="Monroe Doctrine">Monroe Doctrine</a> as a mainstay of foreign policy, while urging modernization of the Navy and a merchant marine force. He gave his commitment to international peace through noninterference in the affairs of foreign governments.<a href="#cite_note-Benjamin_Harrison_Inauguration-113">[110]</a>

There should be an executive office building, not too far away, but wholly distinct from the dwelling house. For everyone else in the public service, there is an unroofed space between the bedroom and the desk."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter83-115">[112]</a>

Harrison acted quite independently in selecting his cabinet, much to Republican bosses' dismay. He began by delaying the presumed nomination of James G. Blaine as secretary of state so as to preclude Blaine's involvement in the formation of the administration, as had occurred in Garfield's term.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter20–22-116">[113]</a> In fact, other than Blaine, the only Republican boss initially nominated was Redfield Proctor, as secretary of war. Senator Shelby Cullom's comment symbolizes Harrison's steadfast aversion to use federal positions for patronage: "I suppose Harrison treated me as well as he did any other Senator; but whenever he did anything for me, it was done so ungraciously that the concession tended to anger rather than please."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter33-117">[114]</a> Harrison's selections shared particular alliances, such as their service in the Civil War, Indiana citizenship and membership in the Presbyterian Church.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter20-118">[115]</a> Nevertheless, Harrison had alienated pivotal Republican operatives from New York to Pennsylvania to Iowa with these choices and prematurely compromised his political power and future.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter22–30-119">[116]</a> His normal schedule provided for two full cabinet meetings per week, as well as separate weekly one-on-one meetings with each cabinet member.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter85-120">[117]</a>

In June 1890, Harrison's Postmaster General <a href="John_Wanamaker" title="John Wanamaker">John Wanamaker</a> and several Philadelphia friends purchased a large new cottage at <a href="Cape_May_Point%2C_New_Jersey" title="Cape May Point, New Jersey">Cape May Point</a> for Harrison's wife, <a href="Caroline_Harrison" title="Caroline Harrison">Caroline</a>. Many believed the cottage gift appeared improper and amounted to a bribe for a cabinet position. Harrison made no comment on the matter for two weeks, then said he had always intended to purchase the cottage once Caroline approved. On July 2, perhaps a little tardily to avoid suspicion, Harrison gave Wanamaker a check for $10,000 (equivalent to $349,963 in 2024) for the cottage.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilliams194-121">[118]</a>

<a href="Civil_service" title="Civil service">Civil service</a> reform was a prominent issue following Harrison's election.

The issue became a <a href="Political_football" title="Political football">political football</a> and was immortalized in a cartoon captioned "What can I do when both parties insist on kicking?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale200683,_86-124">[121]</a> Harrison appointed <a href="Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a> and <a href="Hugh_Smith_Thompson" title="Hugh Smith Thompson">Hugh Smith Thompson</a>, both reformers, to the <a href="United_States_Civil_Service_Commission" title="United States Civil Service Commission">Civil Service Commission</a>, but otherwise did little to further the reform cause.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter39–41-125">[122]</a>

In 1890 Harrison saw the enactment of the <a href="Dependent_and_Disability_Pension_Act" title="Dependent and Disability Pension Act">Dependent and Disability Pension Act</a>, a cause he had championed in Congress. In addition to providing pensions to disabled Civil War veterans (regardless of the cause of their disability), the Act depleted some of the troublesome federal budget surplus. Pension expenditures reached $135 million under Harrison (equivalent to $4.7 billion in 2024), the largest expenditure of its kind to that point in American history, a problem exacerbated by <a href="Pension_Bureau" class="mw-redirect" title="Pension Bureau">Pension Bureau</a> commissioner <a href="James_R._Tanner" title="James R.

Raum</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter34–36-128">[125]</a> Raum was also accused of accepting loan payments in return for expediting pension cases. Harrison, having accepted a dissenting congressional Republican investigation report that exonerated Raum, kept him in office.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilliams193–194-129">[126]</a>

One of the first appointments Harrison was forced to reverse was that of James S. Clarkson as an assistant postmaster. Clarkson, who had expected a full cabinet position, began sabotaging the appointment from the outset, gaining the reputation for "decapitating a fourth class postmaster every three minutes". Clarkson himself said, "I am simply on detail from the Republican Committee ... I am most anxious to get through this task and leave." He resigned in September 1890.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter34–36-128">[125]</a>

<a href="Tariff" title="Tariff">Tariff</a> levels had been a major political issue since before the Civil War, and became the most dominant matter of the 1888 election.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter51-130">[127]</a> High tariff rates had created a surplus of money in the Treasury, which led many Democrats (as well as the growing Populist movement) to call for lowering them.

Representative <a href="William_McKinley" title="William McKinley">William McKinley</a> and Senator <a href="Nelson_W._Aldrich" title="Nelson W. Aldrich">Nelson W.

The Act passed by wide margins in both houses, and Harrison signed it into law.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter53-133">[130]</a> The Sherman Act was the first federal act of its kind, and marked a new use of federal government power.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200592–93-134">[131]</a> Harrison approved of the law and its intent, but his administration did not enforce it vigorously.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter54Calhoun200594-135">[132]</a> However, the government successfully concluded a case during Harrison's time in office (against a Tennessee coal company),<a href="#cite_note-coal_case-136">[d]</a> and initiated several other cases against trusts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter54Calhoun200594-135">[132]</a>

One of the most volatile questions of the 1880s was whether the currency should be backed by <a href="Bimetallism" title="Bimetallism">gold and silver</a> or by <a href="Gold_standard" title="Gold standard">gold alone</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200594–95-137">[133]</a> The issue cut across party lines, with western Republicans and southern Democrats joining in the call for the free coinage of silver and both parties' representatives in the northeast holding firm for the gold standard. Because silver was worth less than its legal equivalent in gold, taxpayers paid their government bills in silver, while international creditors demanded payment in gold, resulting in a depletion of the nation's gold supply. Owing to worldwide <a href="Deflation" title="Deflation">deflation</a> in the late 19th century (resulting from increase in economic output without a corresponding increase in gold supply), a strict gold standard had resulted in reduction of incomes without the equivalent reduction in debts, pushing debtors and the poor to call for silver coinage as an inflationary measure.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200594–95Socolofsky_&_Spetter55–59-138">[134]</a>

The silver coinage issue had not been much discussed in the 1888 campaign, and Harrison is said to have favored a bimetallist position.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter53-133">[130]</a> But his appointment of a silverite Treasury Secretary, <a href="William_Windom_(politician)" title="William Windom (politician)">William Windom</a>, encouraged the free silver supporters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter56–57-139">[135]</a> Harrison attempted to steer a middle course between the two positions, advocating free coinage of silver, but at its own value, not at a fixed ratio to gold.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter58Calhoun200596-140">[136]</a> This failed to facilitate a compromise between the factions. In July 1890, Senator Sherman achieved passage of a bill, the <a href="Sherman_Silver_Purchase_Act" title="Sherman Silver Purchase Act">Sherman Silver Purchase Act</a>, in both houses.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter58Calhoun200596-140">[136]</a> Harrison thought the bill would end the controversy, and signed it into law.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter59-141">[137]</a> But the effect of the bill was increased depletion of the nation's gold supply, a problem that persisted until the second Cleveland administration <a href="Grover_Cleveland#Economic_panic_and_the_silver_issue" title="Grover Cleveland">resolved it</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter60-142">[138]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Civil_rights">Civil rights</h3></div>

After regaining the majority in both houses of Congress, some Republicans, led by Harrison, attempted to pass legislation to protect Black Americans' civil rights. Attorney General <a href="William_H._H._Miller" title="William H. H. Miller">William H. H. Miller</a>, through the Justice Department, ordered prosecutions for violation of voting rights in the South, but white juries often failed to convict or indict violators. This prompted Harrison to urge Congress to pass legislation that would "secure all our people a free exercise of the right of suffrage and every other civil right under the Constitution and laws".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200589–90-143">[139]</a> He endorsed the proposed <a href="Lodge_Bill" title="Lodge Bill">Federal Elections Bill</a> written by Representative <a href="Henry_Cabot_Lodge" title="Henry Cabot Lodge">Henry Cabot Lodge</a> and Senator <a href="George_Frisbie_Hoar" class="mw-redirect" title="George Frisbie Hoar">George Frisbie Hoar</a> in 1890, but the bill was defeated in the Senate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson32–33-144">[140]</a> After the bill failed to pass, Harrison continued to speak in favor of <a href="African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African American</a> civil rights in addresses to Congress.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="National_forests">National forests</h3></div>

In March 1891 Congress enacted, and Harrison signed, the <a href="Land_Revision_Act_of_1891" class="mw-redirect" title="Land Revision Act of 1891">Land Revision Act of 1891</a>. This legislation resulted from a bipartisan desire to initiate <a href="Land_reclamation" title="Land reclamation">reclamation</a> of surplus lands that had been, up to that point, granted from the public domain, for potential settlement or use by railroad syndicates. As the law's drafting was finalized, Section 24 was added at the behest of Harrison by his Secretary of the Interior John Noble, which read as follows:

<blockquote class="templatequote">That the President of the United States may, from time to time, set apart and reserve, in any State or Territory having public land bearing forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public reservations, and the president shall, by public proclamation, declare the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter71-148">[144]</a></blockquote>

Within a month of the enactment of this law Harrison authorized the first forest reserve, to be located on public domain adjacent to <a href="Yellowstone_National_Park" title="Yellowstone National Park">Yellowstone National Park</a>, in Wyoming. Other areas were so designated by Harrison, bringing the first forest reservations total to 22 million acres in his term.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter72-149">[145]</a> Harrison was also the first to give a prehistoric Indian ruin, <a href="Casa_Grande_Ruins_National_Monument" title="Casa Grande Ruins National Monument">Casa Grande</a> in Arizona, federal protection.<a href="#cite_note-150">[146]</a>

Various reforms affecting labor were carried out during Harrison's administration. An Act was passed in 1891 relating to convict labor that prohibited, as one study noted, "work outside the prison enclosure or machine production of commodities".<a href="#cite_note-151">[147]</a> The same year, the first federal legislation governing inspection practices and safety standards and inspection practices in America's coal mines was enacted.<a href="#cite_note-152">[148]</a> In 1892,<a href="#cite_note-153">[149]</a> Congress allocated $20,000 to the Commissioner of Labor "to make a full investigation relative to what is known as the slums of cities" with a population of 200,000 or more in 1890.<a href="#cite_note-154">[150]</a> In August that year, an eight-hour workday was introduced for all mechanics and laborers working for the federal government, along with subcontractors or contractors of public works projects.

Over the course of his administration, Harrison marshaled the country's technology to clothe the nation with a credible naval power. When he took office there were only two commissioned warships in the Navy.

Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine were often not the most cordial of friends, but harmonized in an aggressive foreign policy and commercial reciprocity with other nations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun200574–76-166">[162]</a> Blaine's persistent medical problems warranted a more hands-on effort by Harrison in conducting foreign policy.

Harrison also persuaded Congress to enact the Meat Inspection Act to eliminate the accusations of product compromise, and partnered with Agriculture Secretary Rusk to threaten Germany with retaliation by initiating a U.S. embargo on Germany's highly demanded beet sugar. By September 1891 Germany relented, and Denmark, France, and Austria-Hungary soon followed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter131–136-172">[168]</a>

The first international crisis Harrison faced arose from disputed fishing rights on the <a href="Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaskan</a> coast. <a href="Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a> claimed fishing and <a href="Seal_hunting" title="Seal hunting">sealing</a> rights around many of the <a href="Aleutian_Islands" title="Aleutian Islands">Aleutian Islands</a>, in violation of U.S. law.

In 1891, a diplomatic crisis emerged in <a href="Chile" title="Chile">Chile</a>, otherwise known as the <a href="Baltimore_Crisis" class="mw-redirect" title="Baltimore Crisis">Baltimore Crisis</a>. The American minister to Chile, <a href="Patrick_Egan_(land_reformer_and_diplomat)" class="mw-redirect" title="Patrick Egan (land reformer and diplomat)">Patrick Egan</a>, granted asylum to Chileans who were seeking refuge during the <a href="1891_Chilean_Civil_War" class="mw-redirect" title="1891 Chilean Civil War">1891 Chilean Civil War</a>. Previously a militant Irish immigrant to the U.S., Egan was motivated by a personal desire to thwart Great Britain's influence in Chile;<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter146-176">[172]</a> his action increased tensions between Chile and the U.S., which began in the early 1880s when Blaine alienated the Chileans in the <a href="War_of_the_Pacific" title="War of the Pacific">War of the Pacific</a>.

The crisis began in earnest when sailors from <a href="USS_Baltimore_(C-3)" title="USS Baltimore (C-3)">USS Baltimore</a> took <a href="Shore_leave" title="Shore leave">shore leave</a> in <a href="Valparaiso" class="mw-redirect" title="Valparaiso">Valparaiso</a> and a fight ensued, resulting in the deaths of two American sailors and the arrest of three dozen others.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005127-177">[173]</a> Baltimore's captain, Winfield Schley, based on the nature of the sailors' wounds, insisted the Chilean police had bayonet-attacked the sailors without provocation. With Blaine incapacitated, Harrison drafted a demand for reparations. Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs Manuel Matta replied that Harrison's message was "erroneous or deliberately incorrect" and said the Chilean government was treating the affair the same as any other criminal matter.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005128–129Socolofsky_&_Spetter147–149-178">[174]</a>

Tensions increased to the brink of war: Harrison threatened to break off diplomatic relations unless the U.S. received a suitable apology and said the situation required "grave and patriotic consideration". He also said, "If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who in foreign ports display the flag or wear the colors."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter151-179">[175]</a> The Navy was placed on a high level of preparedness.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005128–129Socolofsky_&_Spetter147–149-178">[174]</a> A recuperated Blaine made brief conciliatory overtures to the Chilean government that had no support in the administration; he then reversed course and joined the chorus for unconditional concessions and apology by the Chileans, who ultimately obliged, and war was averted. Theodore Roosevelt later applauded Harrison for his use of the "<a href="Big_stick" class="mw-redirect" title="Big stick">big stick</a>" in the matter.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale2006134-180">[176]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter150–151-181">[177]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Annexation_of_Hawaii">Annexation of Hawaii</h4></div>

In the last days of his administration, Harrison dealt with the issue of <a href="Hawaii" title="Hawaii">Hawaiian</a> annexation.

Harrison appointed four justices to the <a href="Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">Supreme Court of the United States</a>. The first was <a href="David_Josiah_Brewer" class="mw-redirect" title="David Josiah Brewer">David Josiah Brewer</a>, a judge on the <a href="United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Eighth_Circuit" title="United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit">Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit</a>. The nephew of Justice <a href="Stephen_Johnson_Field" title="Stephen Johnson Field">Field</a>, Brewer had previously been considered for a cabinet position. Shortly after his nomination, Justice <a href="Stanley_Matthews_(judge)" title="Stanley Matthews (judge)">Matthews</a> died, creating another vacancy. Harrison had considered <a href="Henry_Billings_Brown" title="Henry Billings Brown">Henry Billings Brown</a>, a <a href="Michigan" title="Michigan">Michigan</a> judge and <a href="Admiralty_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Admiralty law">admiralty law</a> expert, for the first vacancy and now nominated him for the second. For the third vacancy, which arose in 1892, Harrison nominated <a href="George_Shiras_Jr." title="George Shiras Jr.">George Shiras</a>. Shiras's appointment was somewhat controversial because his age—60—was higher than usual for a newly appointed justice. Shiras was also opposed by Senator <a href="Matthew_Quay" title="Matthew Quay">Matthew Quay</a> of Pennsylvania because they were in different factions of the Pennsylvania Republican party, but his nomination was confirmed. Finally, at the end of his term, Harrison nominated <a href="Howell_Edmunds_Jackson" class="mw-redirect" title="Howell Edmunds Jackson">Howell Edmunds Jackson</a> to replace Justice <a href="Lucius_Quintus_Cincinnatus_Lamar_(II)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar (II)">Lamar</a>, who died in January 1893. Harrison knew the incoming Senate would be controlled by Democrats, so he selected Jackson, a respected Tennessee Democrat with whom he was friendly, to ensure his nominee would not be rejected. Jackson's nomination was indeed successful, but he died after only two years on the Court.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter188–190-186">[182]</a>

In addition to his Supreme Court appointments, Harrison appointed ten judges to the <a href="United_States_court_of_appeals" class="mw-redirect" title="United States court of appeals">courts of appeals</a>, two judges to the <a href="United_States_circuit_court" title="United States circuit court">circuit courts</a>, and 26 judges to the <a href="United_States_district_court" title="United States district court">district courts</a>.

He was the incarnation of duty and he teaches us today this great lesson: that those who would associate their names with events that shall outlive a century can only do so by high consecration to duty. Self-seeking has no public observance or anniversary."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter160-188">[184]</a>

The Harrisons made many trips out of the capital, which included speeches at most stops – including Philadelphia, New England, Indianapolis and Chicago. Harrison typically made his best impression speaking before large audiences, as opposed to more intimate settings.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter157-189">[185]</a> The most notable of his presidential trips, theretofore unequaled, was a five-week tour of the west in the spring of 1891, aboard a lavishly outfitted train.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter171-190">[186]</a> Harrison enjoyed a number of short trips out of the capital—usually for hunting—to nearby Virginia or Maryland.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter166-191">[187]</a>

During the hot Washington summers, the Harrisons took refuge in <a href="Deer_Park%2C_Maryland" title="Deer Park, Maryland">Deer Park, Maryland</a>, and <a href="Cape_May_Point%2C_New_Jersey" title="Cape May Point, New Jersey">Cape May Point, New Jersey</a>. In 1890, John Wanamaker joined with other Philadelphia devotees of the Harrisons and made a gift to them of a summer cottage at Cape May. Harrison, though appreciative, was uncomfortable with the appearance of impropriety; a month later, he paid Wanamaker $10,000 (equivalent to $349,963 in 2024) as reimbursement to the donors. Nevertheless, Harrison's opponents made the gift the subject of national ridicule, and Mrs. Harrison and the president were vigorously criticized.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter168-192">[188]</a>

Specifically, Thomas C. Platt, Matthew S. Quay, Thomas B. Reed and James Clarkson quietly organized the Grievance Committee, the ambition of which was to initiate a dump-Harrison offensive. They solicited the support of Blaine, without effect, and Harrison in reaction resolved to run for reelection – seemingly forced to choose one of two options – "become a candidate or forever wear the name of a political coward".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter81-194">[190]</a>

It was clear that Harrison would not be renominated unanimously.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005134–137-195">[191]</a> Many of his detractors persisted in pushing for an incapacitated Blaine, though he announced that he was not a candidate in February 1892.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005134–137-195">[191]</a> Some party leaders still hoped to draft Blaine into running, and speculation increased when he resigned at the 11th hour as secretary of state in June.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005138–139-196">[192]</a> At the <a href="1892_Republican_National_Convention" title="1892 Republican National Convention">convention</a> in <a href="Minneapolis" title="Minneapolis">Minneapolis</a>, Harrison prevailed on the first ballot, but encountered significant opposition.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005140–141-197">[193]</a>

The Democrats renominated Cleveland, making the 1892 election a rematch of the one four years earlier.

Cleveland won the election with 277 electoral votes to Harrison's 145, and also won the popular vote by 5,556,918 to 5,176,108; this was the most decisive presidential election in 20 years.<a href="#cite_note-EV_1892-202">[198]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetter199-203">[199]</a>

He traveled around the nation making appearances and speeches in support of William McKinley's candidacy for president.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005160–161-206">[202]</a>

From June 1895 to March 1901 Harrison served on the Board of Trustees of <a href="Purdue_University" title="Purdue University">Purdue University</a>, where Harrison Hall, a dormitory, was named in his honor.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale2006150-204">[200]</a> He wrote a series of articles about the federal government and the presidency that were republished in 1897 as a book, This Country of Ours.<a href="#cite_note-Harrison_1897-207">[203]</a> In 1896, Harrison remarried, to <a href="Mary_Dimmick_Harrison" title="Mary Dimmick Harrison">Mary Scott Lord Dimmick</a>, the widowed niece and former secretary of his deceased wife. Harrison's two adult children, Russell and Mary, disapproved of the marriage and did not attend the wedding. Benjamin and Mary had one child together, <a href="Elizabeth_Harrison_Walker" title="Elizabeth Harrison Walker">Elizabeth</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale2006153-208">[204]</a>

In 1898, Harrison served as an attorney for the Republic of Venezuela in its <a href="Schomburgk_Line" title="Schomburgk Line">British Guiana boundary dispute</a> with the United Kingdom.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale2006155-209">[205]</a> An international trial was agreed upon; he filed an 800-page brief and traveled to <a href="Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a>, where he spent more than 25 hours in court on Venezuela's behalf.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Political_views">Political views</h3></div>

Harrison has been described by various observers as a conservative,<a href="#cite_note-215">[211]</a><a href="#cite_note-216">[212]</a><a href="#cite_note-217">[213]</a><a href="#cite_note-218">[214]</a> and was nicknamed the "Conservative President".<a href="#cite_note-219">[215]</a> <a href="Herbert_Hoover" title="Herbert Hoover">Herbert Hoover</a> once called <a href="Calvin_Coolidge" title="Calvin Coolidge">Calvin Coolidge</a> "a real conservative, probably the equal of Benjamin Harrison".<a href="#cite_note-220">[216]</a> But Harrison was not an advocate of laissez-faire. He believed that government had a vital role to play in bringing about social and economic justice, once saying: "The Republican theory has been all along that it was right to so legislate as to provide work, employment, comfort to the American workingman. We believe that the National Government has a duty in this respect, as well as the city council and the board of county commissioners."<a href="#cite_note-221">[217]</a>

Despite having supported the annexation of Hawaii, Harrison grew to oppose further imperialism under President McKinley. In response to the Foraker Act, which put tariffs on Puerto Rico despite its being part of the United States, Harrison said:<a href="#cite_note-222">[218]</a>

<blockquote class="templatequote">A government of unlimited and absolute executive power is not an American government. For one, I do not believe the makers of the Constitution ever intended to confer the power of any such government over anyone in the Constitution… Are the rights of the people on the mainland secure when we exercise arbitrary power over people from whom we demand entire obedience? Is it not a mockery to raise the flag over the people of Porto Rico and bid them respect it, and then issue to them an absolute power of government from the staff beneath? If the act of annexation does not carry the Constitution, I can think of nothing else that does.</blockquote>

Harrison believed in the right of workers to earn a living wage, while also advocating a social security fund providing coverage for old age, accidents, and sickness. As he proclaimed in an 1890 speech:

<blockquote class="templatequote">I have in public expressed the opinion that every workingman ought to have such wages as would yield him decent and comfortable support for his family and enable him to keep his children in school and out of the mill in their tender age. Not only should he have this, but his wages should be sufficient to allow him to lay up against incapacity by sickness or accident or old age some fund on which he could rely.<a href="#cite_note-223">[219]</a></blockquote>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Death">Death</h3></div>

In February 1901, Harrison developed what was thought to be <a href="Influenza" title="Influenza">influenza</a> (then called "grippe"), which later proved to be pneumonia. He was treated with steam vapor inhalation and oxygen, but his condition worsened. Harrison died from <a href="Pneumonia" title="Pneumonia">pneumonia</a> at <a href="Benjamin_Harrison_Home" class="mw-redirect" title="Benjamin Harrison Home">his home</a> in Indianapolis on March 13, 1901, at the age of 67. His last words were reported to be, "Are the doctors here? Doctor, my lungs...". Harrison's remains are interred in Indianapolis's <a href="Crown_Hill_Cemetery" title="Crown Hill Cemetery">Crown Hill Cemetery</a>, next to the remains of his first wife, Caroline. After her death in 1948, Mary Dimmick Harrison, his second wife, was buried beside him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMooreHale2006156-224">[220]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_reputation_and_memorials">Historical reputation and memorials</h2></div>

Historian Charles Calhoun gives Harrison major credit for innovative legislation in antitrust, monetary policy and tariffs. Historians have often given Secretary of State Blaine credit for foreign-policy initiatives, but Calhoun argues that Harrison was even more responsible for the success of trade negotiations, the buildup of the steel Navy, overseas expansion, and emphasis on the American role in dominating the <a href="Western_Hemisphere" title="Western Hemisphere">Western Hemisphere</a> through the <a href="Monroe_Doctrine" title="Monroe Doctrine">Monroe Doctrine</a>. The major weakness Calhoun sees was that the public and indeed the grassroots Republican Party was not fully prepared for this onslaught of major activity. The Democrats scored a sweeping landslide in 1890 by attacking the flagship legislation, especially the McKinley tariff, because it would raise the cost of living of the average American family. McKinley himself was defeated for reelection.<a href="#cite_note-225">[221]</a><a href="#cite_note-226">[222]</a>

According to historian R. Hal Williams, Harrison had a "widespread reputation for personal and official integrity". Closely scrutinized by Democrats, Harrison's reputation was largely intact when he left the White House. Having an advantage few 19th-century presidents had, Harrison's own party, the Republicans, controlled Congress, while his administration actively advanced a Republican program of a higher tariff, moderate control of corporations, protecting <a href="African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African American</a> voting rights, a generous Civil War pension, and compromising over the controversial <a href="Bimetallism" title="Bimetallism">silver issue</a>. Historians have not raised "serious questions about Harrison's own integrity or the integrity of his administration".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilliams191-227">[223]</a>

Following the <a href="Panic_of_1893" title="Panic of 1893">Panic of 1893</a>, Harrison became more popular in retirement.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun20056-228">[224]</a> Scholars have argued that his economic policies contributed to the Panic of 1893.<a href="#cite_note-229">[225]</a> His legacy among historians is scant, and "general accounts of his period inaccurately treat Harrison as a cipher".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetterx-230">[226]</a> More recently,

<blockquote class="templatequote">historians have recognized the importance of the Harrison administration—and Harrison himself—in the new foreign policy of the late nineteenth century. The administration faced challenges throughout the hemisphere, in the Pacific, and in relations with the European powers, involvements that would be taken for granted in the twenty-first century.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESocolofsky_&_Spetterx-230">[226]</a></blockquote>

Harrison's presidency belongs properly to the 19th century, but he "clearly pointed the way" to the modern presidency that emerged under <a href="William_McKinley" title="William McKinley">William McKinley</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECalhoun2005166-231">[227]</a> The bipartisan <a href="Sherman_Antitrust_Act" title="Sherman Antitrust Act">Sherman Antitrust Act</a> Harrison signed into law remains in effect and was the most important legislation the 51st Congress passed. Harrison's support for African American voting rights and education were the last significant attempts to protect <a href="Civil_and_political_rights" title="Civil and political rights">civil rights</a> until the 1930s. His tenacity in foreign policy was emulated by politicians such as <a href="Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBatten209-232">[228]</a>

Harrison was memorialized on several postage stamps. The first was a 13-cent stamp issued on November 18, 1902, with his engraved likeness modeled after a photo his widow provided.<a href="#cite_note-arago-233">[229]</a> In all Harrison has been honored on <a href="US_Presidents_on_US_postage_stamps" class="mw-redirect" title="US Presidents on US postage stamps">six U.S. postage stamps</a>, more than most other U.S. presidents. He also was featured on the five-dollar <a href="National_Bank_Notes" class="mw-redirect" title="National Bank Notes">National Bank Notes</a> from the third charter period, beginning in 1902.<a href="#cite_note-Hudgeons_Hudgeons_2000-234">[230]</a> In 2012, a dollar coin with his image, part of the <a href="Presidential_%241_Coin_Program" class="mw-redirect" title="Presidential $1 Coin Program">Presidential $1 Coin Program</a>, was issued.<a href="#cite_note-US_Mint_dollar_coin_schedule-235">[231]</a>

In 1908, the people of Indianapolis erected the <a href="Benjamin_Harrison_(Niehaus)" class="mw-redirect" title="Benjamin Harrison (Niehaus)">Benjamin Harrison memorial statue</a>, created by Charles Niehaus and Henry Bacon, in honor of Harrison's lifetime achievements as military leader, U.S. senator, and president.<a href="#cite_note-INgov-236">[232]</a> The statue is on the south edge of <a href="Indiana_World_War_Memorial_Plaza#University_Park" title="Indiana World War Memorial Plaza">University Park</a>, facing the <a href="Birch_Bayh_Federal_Building_and_United_States_Courthouse" title="Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse">Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse</a> across New York Avenue.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGreiff173-237">[233]</a>

In 1951, <a href="Benjamin_Harrison_Home" class="mw-redirect" title="Benjamin Harrison Home">Harrison's home</a> was opened to the public as a library and museum. It had been used as a dormitory for a music school from 1937 to 1950.<a href="#cite_note-NPS_Benjamin_Harrison_Home-238">[234]</a> The house was designated a <a href="National_Historic_Landmark" title="National Historic Landmark">National Historic Landmark</a> in 1964.<a href="#cite_note-Benjamin_Harrison_Presidential_Site-239">[235]</a>

Theodore Roosevelt dedicated <a href="Fort_Benjamin_Harrison" title="Fort Benjamin Harrison">Fort Benjamin Harrison</a> in Harrison's honor in 1906. It is in <a href="Lawrence%2C_Indiana" title="Lawrence, Indiana">Lawrence, Indiana</a>, a northeastern suburb of Indianapolis. The federal government decommissioned Fort Harrison in 1991 and transferred 1,700 of its 2,500 acres to Indiana's state government in 1995 to establish <a href="Fort_Harrison_State_Park" title="Fort Harrison State Park">Fort Harrison State Park</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEConn94-240">[236]</a> The site has been redeveloped to include residential neighborhoods and a golf course.

In 1931, Franklin Hall at <a href="Miami_University" title="Miami University">Miami University</a>, Harrison's alma mater, was renamed Harrison Hall. It was replaced by a <a href="Harrison_Hall" title="Harrison Hall">new building of the same name</a> in 1960 and houses the college's political science department. In 1966, <a href="Purdue_University" title="Purdue University">Purdue University</a> opened Harrison Hall, an eight-floor, 400-room residence hall.
