Ulysses S. Grant beat Horatio Seymour in 1868 and Horace Greeley in 1872 (Greeley carried six states, but died between the November election, when electors are chosen, and the December election, when the electors cast their votes).

Who did Ulysses S. Grant lose his 3rd election too?

Ulysses S Grant did not run for a third term, although there was some sentiment in the Republican party for him to do so. His decision not to run was based on his own desire to maintain the two term limit that had been the tradition (but not the law) for the American Presidency since George Washington. Also affecting his decision were numerous scandals that occured in his administration concerning misallocation of government monies. Therefore the election of 1876 was between the Democrat Tilden and the Republican Rutherford B Hayes. Tilden received the majority of votes but Hayes won in the electoral college vote and became the 19th President of the United States
