Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History HARRISON, BENJAMIN , twenty-third president of the United States. After graduating from Miami University in Ohio, his birthplace, this grandson of President William Henry Harrison became a lawyer in Indianapolis. A staunch Republican, he fought for the Union and emerged from the Civil War a brigadier general. Despite an iceberglike personality and the loss of the gubernatorial campaign of 1876, he became Indiana's leading Republican. Although undistinguished during a term in the U.S. Senate, Harrison, as an inoffensive war hero from a crucial state, won the Republican nomination in 1888 with the help of James G. Blaine's endorsement. Because his supporters were strategically located, Harrison was elected by a majority in the electoral college even though the incumbent, Grover Cleveland, received more popular votes. Harrison influenced legislation and was an efficient executive, but his lackluster personality made his administration seem colorless. In conjunction with the Republican-controlled "Billion Dollar Congress" of 1890, his administration was remarkably productive. To wipe out the $100 million surplus of revenues over expenditures, Congress passed a generous Dependent and Disability Pension Act and the protectionist McKinley Tariff, which raised rates higher than ever before. Responding to pressure from the West, Congress approved the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, which required that the government buy 4.5 million ounces of silver each month and pay for it with Treasury certificates. Harrison managed the inflationist tendency of this legislation by redeeming the certificates in gold. At his request and to make good a plank in the Republican party's 1888 platform, Congress also passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, which was by far the most influential law passed during his administration.

By his order, the flag waved above the White House and other government buildings. Harrison also urged that the flag be flown over every school in the land. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act during Harrison's administration, and provided for the building of a two-ocean navy of steel ships.

He was also on guarded terms with his former Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, who though ill (he died in January 1893) still had a good deal of political magnetism. He had also been considerably preoccupied with his wife's illness. His renomination was therefore less assured than is usual for a sitting President. As time approached for the Republican convention in Minneapolis in June 1892, Harrison's supporters, led by his friend Louis T. Michener and by Chauncey Depew and Frank Hiscock of New York, organized to secure his renomination. At a caucus chaired by Depew, they ascertained a "
