Missouri was won by Ulysses S. Grant, formerly the 6th Commanding General of the United States Army (R-Ohio), running with Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax, with 56.96% of the popular vote, against the 18th governor of New York, Horatio Seymour (D–New York), running with former Senator Francis Preston Blair Jr., with 43.04% of the vote.[1]
Grant's victory in Missouri made him the second Republican presidential candidate to win the state, but the first to do so exclusively on the Republican ticket, as President Abraham Lincoln had won the state on the National Union ticket in 1864. Schuyler Colfax became the first Republican vice presidential candidate to win the state, as Lincoln's running mate on the National Union ticket in 1864 was Democrat Andrew Johnson. Grant would also be the last Republican to carry the state until Theodore Roosevelt won it in 1904.
