The old history teacher got it! It was indeed the 1876 campaign between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden, with a third party candidate thrown in and a tricky electoral college maneuver.

Eva, you are correct in thinking that Grant played a factor. I believe that, at one point, he was considering a third term, but was talked out of it. The corruption that had been exposed during his Presidency didn't help his case either.
