Benjamin Franklin had been dead for many years. I think you are referring to Benjamin Harrison, who did win the presidential election in 1888. He narrowly lost the popular vote: Grover Cleveland had 5,534,488 while Harrison got 5,443,892. But Harrison won the electoral college, which gave him the presidency.
