Benjamin Harrison still in the lead. I'd argue that he wasn't the *least* consequential: he added six states to the Union (ND, SD, ID, MT, WY, WA) that might have gone differently under Cleveland, took major steps towards annexing Hawaii, & signed the Sherman Antitrust Act.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1138271753157980160 …
I'm not sure the Democrats would have split the Dakotas or rushed to admit Wyoming.

Was it done for political reasons, to get more Republican Senators or something?

Largely yes. And then Harrison actually lost 2 of the 6 to the Populist candidate & Bryan won 5 of the 6 in 1896.
