Holcomb People's Party (United States) William A. Poynter People's Party (United States) The 1898 Nebraska gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1898. Incumbent Populist Governor Silas A. Holcomb did not stand for re-election. Populist and Democratic fusion nominee William A. Poynter defeated Republican nominee Monroe Hayward with 50.19% of the vote. A party calling itself the Liberty Party held a convention on August 2, 1898, and had originally nominated candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. The nominees were Richard A. Hawley for governor, who had previously run for governor with the so-called National Party in the election of 1896, and J. Phipps Roe, of Omaha, Nebraska, for lieutenant governor. However, on September 22, both candidates withdrew their names and the Liberty Party decided to endorse the Populist/Democratic fusion candidates, William A. Poynter and Edward A. Gilbert, for governor and lieutenant governor respectively.Ready for Political Work: The Various Nominations Certified to the Secretary of State The Clipper-Citizen September 23, 1893 3 June 17, 2023 https://www.newspapers.com/image/709285368/ General election Candidates Major party candidates William A.
