Edward A. Gilbert Populist Ezra P. Savage Republican The 1900 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1900, and featured Republican nominee Ezra P. Savage defeating incumbent Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Edward A. Gilbert, the Populist and Democratic fusion nominee.

Other candidates who received two percent of the vote or less included Prohibition nominee Charles R. Lawson, Midroad Populist nominee Herman G. Reiter, and Social Democratic nominee David McKibben.

[1] On May 1, 1901, after serving only four months as Governor of Nebraska, Charles H. Dietrich resigned from being governor as he had been elected by the Nebraska Legislature to fill the vacant U.S. Senate term of Monroe L. Hayward, who had died.

After the elevation of Savage to Governor, Calvin F. Steele was considered the Acting Lieutenant Governor due to his position as president pro tempore of the Nebraska Senate based on Article V, Section 18, of the Nebraska Constitution.

[14] Thus, in the 1915 Nebraska Blue Book and the 1918 Nebraska Blue Book, Steele is listed as having served as lieutenant governor, even replacing any mention of Savage's brief stint as lieutenant governor.
