He was in office 1889-1893.

He was not the best

Benjamin Harrison lost support from common men primarily due to his administration's economic policies, particularly the McKinley Tariff of 1890, which raised tariffs and increased the cost of goods. Many working-class individuals felt that these policies favored big businesses and wealthy industrialists over their interests. Additionally, his handling of economic issues during the severe depression of the early 1890s further alienated him from voters who were struggling financially. Ultimately, these factors contributed to his declining popularity among the common populace.

Benjamin Harrison faced criticism for his administration's perceived inaction on key issues, particularly regarding civil service reform and labor rights. His support for high tariffs, exemplified by the McKinley Tariff of 1890, was unpopular among many Americans who believed it harmed consumers and favored industrialists. Additionally, his handling of the economic depression that began in 1893 was viewed as ineffective, leading to dissatisfaction within his own party and contributing to his subsequent electoral defeat.

Harrison had three grandchildren who moved into the White House along with their parents. He was very fond of them and got them a pet goat, named Old Whiskers. He also provided a cart and harness so that the goat could pull the cart around the yard. However, one day. the goat bolted and ran away with the cart and the children in it and people were startled to see the President running down Pennsylvania Avenue, chasing a goat cart and holding his hat and cane.

Another story- Harrison liked to slip out of the White House in secret and go on hunting trips, However, one of trips got more publicity that he wanted after he shot a farmer's pig by mistake.
