*Horace Greeley (1811-1872) was a newspaper publisher and politican. He supported General Grant as President but later came out against the corruption in Grants administration and ran against him when he ran for re-election in 1872 as a Liberal Republican. He lost the election and died before the electoral vote could be counted.
