James Buchanan and John C. Fremont.

There was no US presidential election in 1873. (There was one in 1872, and the significant candidates were US Grant and Horace Greeley. Greeley wound up dying after the popular vote, but before the electoral vote, so votes pledged to Greeley were split among other candidates. Grant had a significant majority in both the popular and electoral votes, so in a practical sense it didn't really matter much what Greeley's electors did. At least a few of them went ahead and voted for Greeley anyway.)
