Page "Liberal Republican Party (United States)" Paragraph 9

Although the Liberal Republican Party did not survive Greeley's death, several of its reforms materialized in the following decade.

Reform Republicans accomplished the nomination and then election of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, who brought Reconstruction to an end and removed some of the more offensive of Grant's appointments.

The Liberal Republican call for civil service reform was passed during the administration of President Chester Arthur.
