The 1879 Wisconsin gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1879. Incumbent Republican Governor William E. Smith ran for re-election to a second term. The Democratic convention initially nominated Alexander Mitchell for Governor, but Mitchell declined the nomination; in his place, Milwaukee attorney James Graham Jenkins received the nomination.{{sfn|Nesbit|1985|p=577}} Smith and Jenkins also faced a Greenback candidate and a nominee from the nascent Prohibition Party in the general election.{{cite news|date=September 25, 1879|title=Capital Notes|work=Mineral Point Weekly Tribune|location=Mineral Point, Wis.|page=4|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79960931/mineral-point-weekly-tribune/|access-date=June 21, 2021}} Smith ultimately won re-election in a landslide, winning 53% of the vote Jenkins's 40%. Reuben May, the Greenback nominee, received only 7% of the vote, a significant erosion from the Party's 15% in 1877.
