The Democratic party and liberal Republicans were angered with [[Grant]]'s seeming lack of skill in politics. To oppose him they nominated [[Horace Greely]] as their candidate. The election was bitter and tiring for both candidates. Unfortunately, Greely died during the campaign and thus didn't recieve any of the electoral votes. <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Ulysses S.
