The most
controversial
election for
President of the United States
happened in 1876. Both
candidates
were known as
reform-minded
administrators. The
Republican
candidate was Governor
Rutherford B. Hayes
of
Ohio
. His
Democratic
adversary was Governor
Samuel Tilden
of
New York
. Both pledged to end the corruption that still
haunt
ed the Grant presidency. Tilden was the
favorite
early on because of his
nation
al reputation and the
revival
against
President Grant
. However, the Republicans
were
still the
strong
er party, and the
race
was
very close
. Tilden won the
popular vote
, but twenty
electoral votes
were in doubt. Tilden needed only
one
of those votes to
win
the presidency. A special election
commission
made up of ten
Congress
men and five
Supreme Court
justices was assembled and voted 8-7 along
party lines
to give all disputed electoral
vote
s to Hayes, who won 185-184!
