Tippecanoe and Tyler Too
That was the campaign slogan for William Harrison and John Tyler during the Election of 1840. It refers to Harrison's leadership as Governor of Indiana during the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
Tippecanoe was the nickname of William Henry Harrison. He received the nickname after a battle against native Americans near the Tippecanoe River when he was Governor of the Indiana Territory. His running mate in the 1840 presidential election was John Tyler.
John Tyler was the vice-president elected in 1840, The slogan Tippecanoe and Tyler too became famous. "Tippecanoe" was Harrison who died after a month in office so Tyler became president.
It's not clear that any one party became known for this, since the practice evolved over time. But one of the earliest (and most successful) campaign slogans that we know about goes back to 1840, and the Whig party. The Whigs used the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" to promote William Henry Harrison, whose nickname came about when he was a military officer who won a great victory at the Tippecanoe River in the Indiana Territory. His running mate was John Tyler, and thus the slogan.
The United States presidential election of 1840 was the 14th quadrennial Rallying under the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too".
