samuel tilden 1876 presidential campaign
by the time of the june 1876 democratic national convention, tilden had emerged as the front-runner for the democratic nomination in the 1876 presidential election. tilden's appeal to the national party was based on his reputation for reform and his electoral success in the country's most populous state. he was also a skilled organizer whose canvassing system and field knowledge was so thorough that, months before the 1874 election, he'd predicted his own winning margin accurately to within 300 votes. tilden further bolstered his presidential candidacy through a nationwide newspaper advertising campaign. as many democrats expected that their party would win the 1876 presidential elections, tilden faced competition from some of the party's most prominent leaders, including thomas f. bayard, allen g. thurman, thomas a. hendricks, and general winfield scott hancock.
