Warren Republican Party (United States) Francis E. Warren Republican Party (United States) The 1890 Wyoming gubernatorial election was held on September 11, 1890, as the first gubernatorial election for the newly admitted state of Wyoming. Incumbent Territorial Governor Francis E. Warren ran for re-election as the Republican nominee against former Territorial Governor George W. Baxter, the Democratic nominee. Warren defeated Baxter by a decisive margin and became the first popularly elected Governor of Wyoming. However, shortly after Warren's term began as governor, he was elected to the U.S. Senate by the newly constituted state legislature, and he resigned on November 24, 1890. Accordingly, Secretary of State Amos W. Barber became governor, and a special gubernatorial election was held in 1892. Party conventions Prior to the adoption of Wyoming's primary law in 1911, the political parties nominated their candidates for office by convention. Prior to the start of the Republican convention, incumbent Territorial Governor Francis E. Warren was seen as the likeliest, and the strongest, candidate.August 11, 1890 Politics in Wyoming: Both Parties Will Hold Their First State Conventions in Cheyenne To-Day Independent Record Helena, Mont. 1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/168564329/ June 6, 2021 The Republican Party ultimately nominated Warren, though his poor health at the time raised the possibility that he might need to be replaced on the ticket.August 17, 1890 The Forty-Third State: Francis E.
