Despite Samuel J<i>.</i> Tilden (D-NY)'s nearly 300,000 vote plurality,
the Election of 1876 deadlocked when three southern states - Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana (20 electoral votes) � were contested in
close votes by Republican supporters of Rutherford B. Hayes (R-OH).
After months of stalemate, an Electoral Commission, appointed by the
U.S. Congress tilted the result to Hayes generating a political crisis
in late February 1877. The "<b>Wormley</b>" conference/s,
which quietly convened key allies of Tilden and Hayes at <b>Wormley's
Hotel </b>on February 26, concluded a "bargain" which had the
effect of ratifying Hayes as President-Elect only several days before
the end of the Ulysses Grant Administration.
