Horace Greeley
There seems to be some confusion in your question. Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States and served from 1869 to 1877. There was no presidential election in 1972 involving Grant or anyone running as a liberal Republican candidate. Richard Nixon, a Republican, ran against George McGovern, a Democrat, in the 1972 presidential election.
Horace Greeley
Horace Greeley was a cranky newspaper editor who carried the liberal republican and democratic banners against Grant. He was the founder and editor of the New York Tribune and a vocal critic of President Ulysses S. Grant's administration. Greeley ran for president in 1872 as the nominee of the Liberal Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but lost to Grant.
Liberal Republican party
His name was Ulysses S. Grant.
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.

I say against. Grant fought against him in the Civil War. Hampton was a Democrat and Grant was a Republican. I do not know that Grant had any particular animosity toward Hampton.
