The 1878 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 1878, and featured Republican nominee Edmund C. Carns defeating Greenback and Democratic nominee Theron M. Blakely as well as the original Democratic nominee F. J. Mead who still received some votes.[1][2][3] Originally, the Democratic party had nominated F. J. Mead for lieutenant governor. However, in late October 1878, the state central committees of the Democratic and Greenback parties met in Lincoln, Nebraska, and decided to replace F. J. Mead with Greenback candidate Theron M. Blakely on the ticket for lieutenant governor.[4][5][6]
