The Republicans did not want US grant to run for president for a third term Grant is said to have thought about it, but the scandals during his administration made the idea impossible. Hayes was a good choice for the Republicans. He was wounded three times as a Union general and had been active in anti-slavery politics before the US Civil War. Also, Hayes was the sitting governor of an important state, Ohio. He won the presidential election against the Democrat candidate Samuel Tilden from New York.
