Major party candidates

William Woods Holden, Republican
Thomas Samuel Ashe, Conservative (Democratic)
- Ashe is sometimes erroneously listed as a Democratic nominee, because the Conservative Party acted largely as the equivalent of the Democratic Party in North Carolina at times, and re-named itself the Democratic Party in 1876, but as of 1868, it was the Conservative Party banner under which Ashe ran. Ashe became the nominee only after Zebulon B. Vance and Augustus Merrimon had declined the Conservatives' nomination.
