Amos W. Barber Republican John Eugene Osborne Democratic The 1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election was held on November 6, 1892.

In an election that was largely defined by the Johnson County War, in which cattle companies, supported by the state's Republican establishment, attacked alleged rustlers and homesteaders in the Powder River Country.

The Republican support for the Wyoming Stock Growers Association severely hurt the party's performance across the state, as Osborne centered his campaign around his opposition to the invasion.

[6] The contest among all three men was close,[7] but on the tenth ballot, Richards withdrew from consideration and Ivinson was nominated over Mondell by a vote of 70 to 33.
