"Benjamin Harrison was born on August 20, 1833.  Nominated for President on the eighth ballot at the 1888 Republican Convention, Benjamin Harrison conducted one of the first ""front-porch"" campaigns, delivering short speeches to delegations that visited him in Indianapolis. As he was only 5 feet, 6 inches tall, Democrats called him ""Little Ben""; Republicans replied that he was big enough to wear the hat of his grandfather, ""Old Tippecanoe."""
