Harrison, Benjamin
23rd president of the U.S. (1889-93). Born in North Bend, Ohio, the grandson of William H. Harrison, he practiced law in Indianapolis from the mid-1850s. He served in the Union army in the Civil War, rising to brigadier general. He served in the U.S. Senate 1881-87. Though defeated when he ran for reelection, he was nominated for president by the Republicans. He defeated the incumbent, Grover Cleveland, even though Cleveland won more of the popular vote than Harrison. As president, his domestic policy was marked by passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act. His foreign policy expanded U.S. influence abroad. His secretary of state, James Blaine, presided at the conference that led to the establishment of the Pan-American Union, resisted pressure to abandon U.S. interests in the Samoan Islands (1889), and negotiated a treaty with Britain in the Bering Sea Dispute (1891). Defeated for reelection by Cleveland in 1892, he returned to Indianapolis to practice law. In 1898-99 he was the leading counsel for Venezuela in its boundary dispute with Britain.
