Most Presidents did at that time. From 1837 to 1901, only two, Lincoln and Grant, managed to succeed themselves. Cleveland also got two terms, but not consecutively. Hayes was never a likely candidate for a second term, due to the controversy surrounding his first election, which was widely regarded as fraudulent.
