Ulysses Grant,
the Republican candidate, is reelected President defeating Horace Greeley the
Liberal Republican candidate. The Democratic party had decided not to field a
candidate, giving their support instead to Horace Greeley. Maryland representatives to the Electoral
College voted: Thomas
A. Hendricks, 8. The MD representatives did not meet until December, while
Horace Greeley had died the previous month. A letter of tribute read prior to
the voting indicates that Horace Greeley had been the decided favorite in Maryland.

Rutherford B.
Hayes is elected president following the disputed election between
Democratic Samuel J.
Tilden and Republican Rutherford B. Hayes. Republican required all of the
20 disputed electoral votes in order to win the presidency. Since Congress
had to approve the decision, the impasse continued until an agreement was
reached between the parties which permitted the election of Hayes in exchange
for the removal of Federal troops from the South. Within 20 twenty years, gains
made by African Americans since the end of the Civil War would be effectively
nullified. Maryland
representatives to the Electoral College voted: Samuel J. Tilden, 8.
