There can hence be no doubt this ribbon is of Stevens manufacture.
This campaign ribbon was on behalf of the Republican challengers, Benjamin Harrison (for President) and Levi P Morton (as Vice President). They were successful, against the incumbant Democrat President Cleveland & Thurman. It is believed that Stevens also produced the campaign ribbon for Cleveland & Thurman, and this is recorded as sb1548. |
