With the victory of Populist/Democratic fusion candidate James E. Harris, this election became the first Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election in which a candidate affiliated with a party other than the Republican Party won the office of lieutenant governor. The success of the Populist/Democratic fusion candidates was helped in part by the popularity of William Jennings Bryan, a Nebraskan running for president on the Populist/Democratic ticket.
