Nominated for President on the eighth ballot at the 1888 Republican Convention, Benjamin Harrison conducted one of the first "front-porch" campaigns, delivering short speeches to delegations that visited him in Indianapolis. As he was only 5 feet, 6 inches tall, Democrats called him "Little Ben"; Republicans replied that he was big enough to wear the hat of his grandfather, "Old Tippecanoe."
Born in 1833 on a farm by the Ohio River below Cincinnati, Harrison attended Miami University in Ohio and read law in Cincinnati. He moved to Indianapolis, where he practiced law and campaigned for the Republican Party. He married Caroline Lavinia Scott in 1853. After the Civil War--he was Colonel of the 70th Volunteer Infantry--Harrison became a pillar of Indianapolis, enhancing his reputation as a brilliant lawyer. [from the White House Web site ]
Served as reporter of the Supreme Court of Indiana; Col. of 7th Ind. Vols. in the Civil War; Brevet Brigadier General of U.S. Vols.; Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana in 1876; U.S. Senator from 1881 to 1887; and the twenty third President of the U.S., from 1889 to 1893.
