The fhM senatorial battle In Nebraska

. Islve ThHvei and Tipton were rhosen-
They drew siiavvs for their respective I
terms. Thayer securing the longer, or four
year term, and Tipton the short, or two!
year term.
At the end of his term In Mr. Tipton,
was le-electeil to a full term of six years
after a most exciting canvass. Ills chlet
competitor, liavl'l Hutler, then governor,
came within two votes of carrying the
aiius nomination. Mr. Tipton, who died
about seven ciiim ago. van one of the two
men whom Nebraska has honored by re

lu the I'nlted Stales senate from Nebraska,
but they were not consecutive terms.
Third outest Pierce.
In the third senatorial campaign. In 1870
and 1S71. the fighting was fierce, vindic
tive and desperate, cieiieral Thayer was a
candidate for re-election, and the seat of
war Omaha, where Thayer then resided.
Mis ouly competitor before the people was
A. S.-Paddock. Tha.ver was supported by
Ocneral Orant and the stalwarts who held
office under him, while I'uddock headed
the opposing faction. After a desperate
battle in which the backers of both are
said to have spent huge sums of money In
the liouglas county republican primaries,
Thayer came off victorious. He carried
the primaries and elected his full republi
can delegation from I lougias county. In
spite of a bolters' ticket, supported by
many self-styled Simon-pure republicans.
Kigardlng himself virtually elected, Sen
ator Thayer hurried on to Washington,
remaining al hla desk until the legislature
convened. In hla absence a new candidate
was sprung. In the person of P. V. Hitch
cock, who had kept discreetly In tiie back
ground While the canvass was pending
before the people. Hitchcock had been a
radical republican at the outbreak of the
Mar and as such had been rewarded by the
r.arty with the office of United States
marshal and territorial delegate to con
gress. After the assassination of IJncoin
he Johnsonlied to keep his grip upon the
patronage. In 1MJ6 he accepted the surveyor
generalship of Iowa and Nebraska at the
hands of Tresldent Jolinin. and wltn
oilier officers, who had affiliated witn
lirmocrata at that critical period, he was
summarily deposed In lht, after Grant be
came president. With a number ol "In
dependent" republicans and the solid d mu
riatic force Hitchcock defeated Tha.ver
In a pitched battle before the legislature.
The fourth senatorial contest was fought
In 1S7B. when Tipton a second term ex
pired. Although the vacancy occurred
fouth of the Platte river, Thayer and Pad
dock were again competitors. Uy this time
the Platte had been recognized as the state
dividing line and It had become an ac
cepted rule that both senators should not
co.me from the same side of the river.
Thayer had taken up his residence In Lin
coln to avoid this obstruction during the
preceding year, and Paddock had estab
lished himself on a sheep farm near Bea
trice. In the popular tongue this migration
was called the "transfusion of blood from
umahu to the South l'latte." When the
bglslature convened the race appeared to

Paddock Ite-ersea Itesnlt.
In 1SS7 come another hotly contested sen
atorial fight, Charles Van Wyck asking
for re-election. He had taken advantage
of the provision of the constitution allow
ing him to submit his name for an ex
pression of popular preference, and was
unquestionably the choice of the people.
The opposition, however, had centered Its
efforts In procuring legislative nominations
for men who could be depended upon to
Ignore the popular will. Although the or
ganization of the house was effected by
the Van Wyck forces In the election of
their candidate for speaker. In the formal
ballots the votes for senator were divided
between Van Wyck, Paddock and a few
others. 'After a few days' balloting the
republicans were consolidated on Tad
dock by means of a caucus and he was
elected for a second time. The democrats
divided their votes between IT. George L..
Miller and John A. McShane.
The senatorial election of lxn:i was again
protracted. The legislature was divided
between republicans, populists and demo
crats In such a way that no one of them
haC the necessary number to elect. The
balance of power lay with the democrats,
who. by throwing to republicans or popu
lists, were able to decide the politics of the
successful man. It took the democrats a
long tlmo to determine which course to
pursue. In the Interval the balloting con
tinued from day to day, with the populists
voting In succession for John II. Powers,
the defeated candidate for governor; W.
I. (Sreene, later congressman from the
Sixth district, and William V. Allen, then
a .ludge on the district bench. The repub
licans tried to break the deadlock by swing
ing back and forth from Paddock to Thurs-
quiescenre In the result. As described at
the time. "The election of 1 letrlch and
Millard was balled with Joy and exulta
tion; the dead lock had been broken; Ne
braska was assured two republican sena
tors; It brought a feeling of relief. If not
entirely, of satisfaction."
I'liiht on Dietrich
The contest over the Dietrich succes
sion began long before the time before the
election was In sight. The elements that
compassed the defeat of Thompson ac
cepted the substitution of Uovernor Diet
rich with still less grace and set about
early to make his re-election Impossible.
Their campaign of ridicule and detraction
culminated In his indictment by the fed
eral grand Jury, which, notwithstanding
his acquittal, marked him for retirement at
the end of his term. To make sure that
Thompson should not full heir his oppo
nents settled upon E. J Hurkett, con
gressman from the First district, and re
siding In the same city as Mr. Thompson,
to make the rare. Thompson, however,
refused to compete and Hurkett secured the
support of his home county without con
test. While this was being worked out the
program was inaugurated for the nomina
tion of a candlate for United States sen
ator In the republication state convention,
and the state committee was prevailed
upon to Include In Its call a recommenda
tion to that effect. No other avowed can
didate appearing, the convention nominated
Mr. Hurkett without dissent and his name
appeared on the official ballot as the re
publican nominee. In many districts can
didates were pledged to his support and
his election was a formal approval of the
convention's nomination.

but In vain. Finally, upon the ust. The candidacy of Attorney Genera'
ton,
eighteenth ballot, the democrats, who had
been holding out, swung In with the popu
lists and gave seventeen votes and the elec
tion to William V. Allen.
The senatorial contest of lsr was devoid
of excitement, the prize being tendered to
John M. Thurston by a written agreement
signed by all the republican members of
the legislature before the session was under
way.
Ilayt-nrd Wine Long Contest.
The senatorial contest of 1899 precipitated
a protracted dendlock. M. L. Hay ward.
finding himself defeated as the republican
candidate for governor, responded to an
unmistakable popular call to enter the race
for the I'nlted States senate. Ills prln
clrn! competitor was David K. Thompson
of J.:tvolii. who. up to the time It became
known that the legislature had gone re
publican, had scarcely been suspected of
harboring senatorial inspirations. The field
was large. Including among the candidates
John I.. Webster of Omaha, G. M. Lam
hertson. M B. Reese and Allen W. Field
of Dincoln, E. It. Illnshaw of Falrbury, K.
J. Halner or Aurora. C. K. Adams of Su
perior, J. B. Weston of Heatrlce and a
number of others, but none of them mus
tered a formidable strength. Strange to
say, the situation developed into an align
ment with llayward, the strong man. and
the field combined on one side, against D.
K. Thompson on the other. The policy
pursued by Thompson of making mys
terious claims of hidden strength kept the
followers of llayward out of a caucus until
nearly two months of balloting had
elapsed, the vote of the republicans In
open session being scattered among the
various candidates, while the fuslnnists
Norrls Brown had been projected early In
the winter and his friends prevailed on he
state committee to follow the precedent set
two ears before of including the nomina
tion of a candidate for senator In the con
vention call. Senator Millard persisted in
saying that he was in the hands of hts
friends and in refusing to make any ac
tive effort In his own behalf. The ad
mirers of the late Kdward Roaewater, edi
tor of The Bee, seeing In him the only
Omaha candidate who could appeal to the
support of the growing anli-corporatlon
sentiment as against Brown, Inaugurated
a movement for him during his absence
at the World's Postal congress at Rome
and secured for him ihe solid home back
ing, although not without a sharp skir
mish, over Senator Millard and former
Governor Crounse. ' The corporations and
federal officers supporting Millard bent
all their energies to preventing convention
nomination, but In vain. The lines were
drawn so that Millard, Crounse and the
others were left commanding but a handful
of delegates altogether. Brown was ad
mittedly in the leud but not until the fifth
ballot was he able to muster the necessary
majority to nominate over Rosewater who
was a dangerously close second. Mr. Rose
water mounted the platform and pledged
loyal support to his successful competitor.
The overwhelming republican majorities re
turned to both houses of the legislatures
shattered the corporation hopes of block
ing the situation with a few votes as had
been done before. An Investigation resolu
tion presented by a democratic member on
the eve of the Impending election was their
continued to record themselves' for William i "' desPeiate move. The democrats and
popunsis in tne meantime had nominated
V. Allen. At last, after considerable con
tentlon over the terms, a caucus agree
ment was reached by the republicans, call
ing for a two-thirds vote by a pecullarlv
open-and-shut ballot which allowed certain
members of the caucus to vote secretly at
their option. Kven then the caucus could
arrive at no result for several days, until
a break was made In the following of two
or three of the smaller candidates, and the
nomination was declared for Mr. nv.
ward. Stories were rife at the time of an
attempt to repudiate the caucus decision.
but when the ballot was taken In Joint
session all the republicans voted for Hay
ward, wlille the opposition died 1 In the
ditch with Allen. To elect llayward It re
quired forty-three Joint ballots, extending
over the forty-ninth day of the session,
leaving a period of vacancy In the state's
representation between March 4, when

Hitchcock Against Hurkett.
As a prelude to the senatorial fight of
lltlO the democrats In control of the pre
ceding legislature enacted the so-called
Oregon plan by which candidates for the
legislature were to pledge themselveH In
advance to record themselves foe h
candidate receiving the highest number of
votes in the election. This made a double
contest. First, for the respective patty
nominations determined by direct primary,
and second, for the preferential vote at
the November election.
