The Democrats were in disarray and did not nominate a candidate, but they endorsed Horace Greeley of New York, who had been a Republican, was against big business, was against slavery and for protective tariffs and but was considered by the South to be better than Grant. Grant was favored by business interests and was still a popular war hero. Grant won easily.
