Hayes Campaign Ribbon
notes: label: Description
content: In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes and William Wheeler ran for president and vice president on the Republican ticket. In many ways, the candidates were similar to their rivals – Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks. Both Hayes and Tilden were seen as moderate reformers hoping to clean up politics, and both had relatively weak ties to their national political parties. Their similarities are also reflected in the identical ribbons for both sides, which also reflects the growing commercialization and mass-production of political objects in the 1870s.
