General Benjamin Harrison an Indiana political figure
General Benjamin Harrison, an Ohio native born at North Bend, Hamilton county, August 2, IS, rose in Indiana politics and law before the Civil War. He served as a Union officer, was elected Recorder, governor candidate, and in 1880 led Republicans to victory. His Senate tenure and presidential prospects made him a leading national figure, with a lineage tracing back to colonial English roots.

Morton as Harrison’s running mate strong in New York
Levi P. Morton of New York City emerges as a formidable vice presidential candidate for Harrison. Born in Shoreham Vermont, Morton rose from merchant to banker, founding Mor ton, Bliss & Co. and Morton Rose & Co. He shifted from Congress bids to politics in 1876, aligning with Grant and Arthur, and later served as minister to France. The piece argues his nomination could secure New York’s electoral vote and boost the Harrison ticket.
