Big Fight Over the
Janitor at the. 1871
Nebraska Convention
p. A. Barrows. Corresnondeut

Lincoln, Nov. 26.-(Special.)-
Nebraska's first constitutional con.
vention was held in 1866, according
to data prepared by Director Shell
don of the State Historical associa-
ton, and Silas A. Strickland was
president of the convention.
The second convention was held
in 1871 and lasted AZ days, but the
people refused to adopt its plan at
the polls the following election.
Then came the convention which
made our present constitution.
This was held in 1875 and Gen. John
Lee Webster of Omaha was its pre-
siding officer. This convention
lasted just 80 days.
The report of the 1871 convention
shows that several ballots had to
be taken on some of the places,
the position of janitor creating the
big fight.
Since the 1875 convention the con-
stitution has been changed by di-
rect vote of the people several times,
among the most important changes
being the creation of the State Rail
way commission and the board Of
control of state institutions.
