The 1876 United States presidential election was the 23rd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 1876. Following President Ulysses S. Grant's decision to retire after his second term, U.S. Representative James G. Blaine emerged as frontrunner for the Republican nomination; however, Blaine was unable to win a majority at the 1876 Republican National Convention, which settled on Governor Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio as a compromise candidate. The 1876 Democratic National Convention nominated Governor Samuel J. Tilden of New York on the second ballot.
