Incumbent Democratic Governor George Wilbur Peck was soundly defeated by Republican nominee William H. Upham. This election ushered in a four decade period of Republican dominance in Wisconsin politics as the nation as a whole transitioned to the Fourth Party System after the Panic of 1893 and the ensuing collapse of the Democratic Party's national coalition.
