Seven Lincoln houses are engaged in the grain business, owning among them seventy-five elevators at various convenient points on the railroads for collecting and shipping the staples of Nebraska, while ten eastern firms, located in Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Toledo, and Burlington, have branches here, competing in the great grain market of Nebraska.
Eighty-four wholesale and jobbing houses in Lincoln were doing business in 1887, and they sold goods to the amount of fifteen million dollars. The grocery and agricultural implement branches of the jobbing trade did business to the amount of five millions.
The majority of these houses are still in their infancy, and there is no doubt that they will double the aggregate amount of their sales for the year 1888, while many new firms will commence operations, as the field for business is an immense one, covering, by close estimates, in Nebraska, north-western Kansas, eastern Colorado, and Wyoming, an area of more than 80,000 square miles and a population of one million.
In manufacturing, Lincoln has made so far only a start, but is doing something. The record of 1887 shows sixty-nine establishments

whose aggregate product was nearly eight and a half million dollars. About three million dollars were expended during the same year in public and private buildings in the capital city. The aggregate value of churches and church lots belonging to the various religious denom- inations in Lincoln is half a million.
There are about twelve miles of street railway in Lincoln already down, and the mileage is largely to be increased during the present season. Twenty miles of street paving has been ordered and is being laid down as rapidly as the season permits. On an average a train of passenger or freight cars leaves the city every fifteen minutes during the twenty-four hours, an aggregate of 100 trains daily.
The old capitol building, the erection of which from the sales of city lots was mentioned in the beginning of this article, has been taken away and a new structure is being finished on its site during the present season, at a cost of $440,000, and a sale of the remnants of the state lots last year, ordered by the legislature, realized about $75,000, which will be spent in 1888 for embellishing the capitol grounds.
Lancaster county, after waiting all these years in the multiplicity of her public improvements, has voted a court-house, which will be erected the present season on the reservation granted by the state in the center of Lincoln, at a cost of $200,000 for building and furniture.
This is the year of the real majority of the county, that had a name it is true before the location of the seat of government for Nebraska in her midst, but hardly an existence, and this slight sketch of her progress indicates that she has put in these twenty-one years to good advantage, and though she has not ceased growing, has made a record of which her sons and daughters may well be proud.
ORGANIZATION AND POLITICAL HISTORY.
In the fall of 1859 the first movement toward county organization was made. A public meeting was held under the "Great Elm " that stood on the east bank of Salt creek near the north-west corner of the B. & M. R. R. depot grounds in Lincoln. Festus Reed was elected chairman, and after a strong speech predicting the future greatness of the little commonwealth they were preparing to organize on the frontier, the business in hand was proceeded with. A. J. Walling- ford, Joseph J. Forrest, and W. T. Donavan were appointed a com-
221

mission to select a location for the county seat, and they chose the present site of Lincoln, which was laid off in 1864 and named " Lan- caster." An election was ordered by the commissioners of Cass county, to which the unorganized county west was attached for elec- tion and judicial purposes, to be held at the house of William Shir- ley, on Stevens creek, and judges and clerks of election duly commis- sioned. At this election, held on the 10th day of October, 1859, A. J. Wallingford, J. J. Forrest, and W. T. Donavan were elected a board of county commissioners, and Richard Wallingford was elected county treasurer, L. J. Loder, county clerk, and John P. Loder, re- corder. No record of this election or of the official proceedings of the county officers are on file, except the certificates of the election and the qualification of L. J. and J. P. Loder, in the archives of the county. It is probable that little or no business was done under this temporary organization. On the 9th day of October, 1860, a general election took place, and was held at the house of W. T. Donavan for Lancaster county. Twenty-three votes were cast and the following names are found on the official poll list :
Jeremiah Showalter, Richard Wallingford, J. D. Main, C. F. Retz- laff, Jonathan Ball, Hiram Allen, Benj. Eaves, Festus Reed, Daniel Harrington, James Coultard, Benj. Hemple, Win. Shirley, James Moran, J. J. Forest, E. L. Reed, Michael Shea, L. J. Loder, John Dee, A. J. Wallingford, Aaron Wood, Lucius West, J. P. Loder, and W. T. Donavan.
For delegates to congress, J. Sterling Morton received eleven votes, and Samuel G. Dailey twelve, showing a close contest. For council- man, equivalent to senator in a state, T. M. Marquett received 13 votes, and W. R. Davis 2. For " joint," or float councilman, Samuel H. Elbert received 15 votes, and - Cozad 1. For representative, Wm. Gilmore had 16 votes, Louden Mullen 15, W. R. Davis 16, Wm. Reed 16, E. W. Barnum 12, and J. N. Wise 6.
For county officers the following were selected without opposition : Commissioners, one year, J. J. Forest ; two years, A. J. Wallingford ; three years, W. T. Donavan ; treasurer, R. Wallingford; clerk, J. P. Loder. No candidate for sheriff, prosecuting attorney, or coro- ner appears to have been running, and probably there was not business enough expected in the legal line to pay for the trouble of getting up a ticket. Festus Reed and R. Wallingford were elected
222

justices of the peace, and C. F. Retzlaff and James Coultard, consta- bles. Had all the offices the county was entitled to been filled, they would have gone more than half way round the entire voting popu- lation. There are no records of any official acts of these officers elect.
On the 8th of October, 1861, the county election was held at the house of James Moran, and only fourteen votes were cast. The new names appearing on the poll list preserved in the office of the county clerk are E. Galvin, E. L. Barrett, T. G. Maxwell, and Michael Mc- Donald. Donavan, Wallingford, the Loders, Ball, Reed, Moran, Harrington, Dee, and Shea, again exercised the right of suffrage.
J. J. Forest was elected county commissioner ; Festus Reed, probate judge; L. J. Loder, sheriff; J. P. Loder, clerk; C. L. Barrett, asses- sor; T. G. Maxwell and J. Moran, justices of the peace, and Jonathan Ball and C. F. Retzlaff, constables.
A record of an adjourned meeting of the county commissioners, after this election, held May 1, 1862, is the first sign of official life in Lancaster county to be found in the county clerk's office. This record occupies fifteen lines on a page of small commercial note paper, and informs us that the county was then and there divided into two election precincts, by a line running east and west through the centre of "town 10," and that a petition for a road from the south-east cor- ner of section 31, town 9, range 7, and another from the south-east corner of section 36, town 9, range 6, and one from the south-east corner of section 16, town 12, range 6, were received. In what direc- tion, and whither these roads were to run, the record saith not, and County Clerk J. P. Loder forgot to append his signature to the docu- ment. The board adjourned till July first, but probably did not meet again until after the October election.
At the election of 1862, held on the 14th of October, the division of the county into two precincts was disregarded. Fourteen votes were cast by Messrs. Cox, Mason, Foster, Calkin, Chatterton, Blunt, Wallingford, Ball, Chambers, Loder, Maxwell, VanBenthusen, Dona- van, and Coultard. J. F. Kinney, independent democrat, received 10 votes, and Sam. G. Dailey 4, for delegates to congress. T. M. Marquett received 12 votes for councilman for the district. Geo. L. Seybolt received 10 and J. E. Doom 3 votes for joint or float council- man. Five other Cass county statesmen received from one to seven votes for representative, and T. G. Maxwell received 13, all it is pre-

sumed but his own suffrage, for the same office, but the other counties in the district not doing so well for him, he was not elected. Joel Mason was elected commissioner.
The next record is of a meeting of the board of county commission- ers, held November 3, which ordered a special election to be held on the 17th of January, 1863, to fill vacancies in the offices of coroner, surveyor, and justices of the peace, and constables, as those previously elected had not qualified.
The next meeting was held February 5, 1863, and the officers elected at the special election, of which there is no record, are said to have been sworn in. The clerk was directed, at this meeting, to notify Judge Festus Reed to stop his depredations on the timber in school section, in town 9, range 6.
Another meeting was held September 12th, of the same year, and the county divided into four precincts, named Lancaster, Salt Basin, Stevens Creek, and Salt Creek, and the various places for holding elections were designated.
In 1863 the county election was held October 13, and an entire new set of officers were selected, fifty-five votes having been cast in the county.
J. S. Gregory was elected county commissioner for three years, William Shirley for two, and P. S. Schamp for one year. Clerk, Milton Langdon; treasurer, R. Wallingford; sheriff, Josiah Cham- bers ; surveyor, J. J. Forest; coroner, Dr. Jno. Grim; probate judge, J. D. Main.
J. S. Gregory was elected to the state legislature for the representa- tive district to which Lancaster belonged, and John Cadman, who lived in that part of the county then belonging to Clay, was elected for Clay, Johnson, and Gage counties, and took with him a petition from the residents of the northern and southern parts of Clay county for the wiping out of that county, and dividing it between Lancaster and Gage. This measure was consummated and the addition to Lan- caster made her a county of no mean proportions, extending thirty-six miles from north to south, and twenty-four east to west.
The assessed valuation of Clay county at the time of its transfer was $36,129.82, of which $22,637.82 fell to the share of Lancaster. Her debt was $295.11, of which Lancaster assumed $185.70. The commissioners of Lancaster and Gage county held a meeting at the

house of H. W. Parker, clerk of Clay county, near Olathe, July 19, 1864, and made a final settlement of the affairs of the county. The document setting forth the terms of this settlement was signed by Fordyce Roper, F. H. Dobbs and William Tyler, commissioners of Clay county, and John W. Prey, of Lancaster, and attested by Oliver Townsend, clerk of Gage county, and duly filed. Copies of the offi- cial records of Clay county were made for Gage and Lancaster coun- ties, but the latter were lost in Salt creek while en route, and have never been filed among the archives of this county.
At the time of the division of Clay county, the principal settlements were in the extreme north and south of its territory, and a large ma- jority of its tax-payers were undoubtedly favorable to its division. But after the lapse of a few years, when the central part filled up with inhabitants, much discussion ensued as to the propriety of restoring the county, and several attempts have been made in that direction, but it is probable that the majority of the people in the territory involved are well satisfied with their present status. The clause on county di- vision in the constitution adopted in 1875, will probably preclude any future agitation, and will establish our present boundaries for all time to come.
In 1864, at the territorial election held October 11th, eighty votes were polled, of which P. W. Hitchcock received 53, and Geo. L. Miller 27, for delegate to congress.
John Cadman was elected to the house of representatives for Lan- caster county, and Wm. Imlay for the representative district composed of Lancaster, Seward and Saline counties. Richard Wallingford was elected county commissioner, P. S. Schamp, surveyor, and Milton Langdon, prosecuting attorney.
At the general election, October 10, 1865, one hundred and twenty- five votes were polled. Augustus Kountze, for territorial treasurer, John Gillespie, for auditor, received each 100 votes, and S. G. Good- rich and John Seaton, their opponents, 6 votes each.
John Cadman was re-elected representative for Laneaster county, and Joel Mason for the district of Lancaster, Seward, and Saunders counties.
The county officers elected were-Milton Langdon, clerk; Luke Lavender, probate judge; S. S. Snyder, county. commissioner; Wm. Guy, treasurer; W. Ingram, coroner: J. S. Gregory, prosecuting attorney ; and P. S. Schamp, surveyor.
