Gilbert") was a Nebraska politician who served as the ninth lieutenant governor of Nebraska from 1899 until 1901 under Governor William A. Poynter. He also served as a Republican in the Nebraska legislature in 1889. In 1900, he was nominated for a second term as lieutenant governor as a Silver Republican aligned with the Populists, and directly as a Populist in 1902 but did not prevail.
