Perhaps from Benjamin Harrison's point of view his major failure was in failing to be re-elected as President for a second term and while he managed to defeat incumbent President Grover Cleveland, he then lost the Presidency to Grover Cleveland in the next election. It was most likely the controversy over silver and gold that cost Harrison the Presidency. From the beginning of the Constitutional Republic the U.S. dollar had been coined in silver and the price of gold fixed to that. The problem that arose by the time Harrison was elected is that the people in the United States tended to pay their taxes with silver coins, but the federal governments creditors demanded payment in gold. This began to take its toll on the nations gold supply and the debate of whether to drop gold all together and simply use coin or the keep the system as it had been begun. Harrison did his best to stay in the middle of the road on this debate by advocating free coining of silver, but at its own value and not fixed to gold. This equivocation only served to upset parties on both sides of the debate and by July of 1890 the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was passed by both houses of Congress and Harrison believing this would make everyone happy signed the Bill into law. The Act, however, only managed to deplete the gold supply even further and is most probably what cost Harrison a second term and instead gave Cleveland his second term..
Thats bull CRAP!!! The real answer is that the rebublican party was not pleased with harrison because he made his political opinions based upon ability, not as favors to the political machine! theres the right answer-Hope you get an A on your Work
It was President William Henry Harrison in 1841.
He graduated from the University of Miami (Ohio). I expect that he got an AB, probably the only degree offered.
He doesn't want to be average or equal with anyone.
little ben because he was only 5'6" tall!! New answer: While President Harrison was indeed 5' 6" it has nothing to do with his nickname of "Kid Gloves Harrison" During the Civil War he received documented treatment (see the Pres. Benjamin Harrison Home or the National Archives) for his hands. It's not clear what exactly was wrong, it's presumed it was some sort of severe excema exacerbated by stress and an unrelated illness. Whatever it was, thereafter Harrison felt more comfortable in public wearing gloves made of Kid (young goat) skin, or kid gloves. It may have been a derogatory term for ineffectiveness by his opponents (see many political cartoons of the time), but it certainly began a good natured and well meaning observational nickname for a Hoosier politician who shook many hands and gave many speeches wearing kid gloves.
