Ohio was won by theRepublican Party candidate, incumbent president and Ohio nativeUlysses S. Grant, who won the state with 53.24% of the popular vote. TheDemocratic andLiberal Republican Party candidate,Horace Greeley, garnered 46.15% of the popular vote.[1]
Seeing as it was unlikely they could pull off a victory in the general election, theDemocratic Party endorsed the Liberal Republican candidateHorace Greeley, who had been involved in a split from the traditionalRepublican Party. A New Yorker, Greeley had been nominated inCincinnati, Ohio, at the1872 Liberal Republican convention.
The other two candidates who garnered votes in Ohio during the election wereJames Black, a member of theProhibition Party, andCharles O'Conor, a straight-out Democrat. Black and the prohibitionists were dedicated to theoutlaw of alcohol, while O’Conor and the straight-out Democrats ran dissatisfied with the Democratic nomination of Greeley.
