01
Artifact Overview
Republicans hoped to regain the White House after losing to the Democrats in 1884. The Party selected Benjamin Harrison--a proponent of protective tariffs, sound money, and pensions for Civil War veterans, as their Presidential nominee. Levi Morton, a one-time U.S. Representative from New York and an ambassador to France, was picked as his running mate. This charm contains images of the Vice-presidential candidate.
