Elections to the municipal and county councils of England and Wales were held in 1889. Elections to the various county councils were held in January 1889. Progressive candidates won a majority on London County Council, although at this point party labels were relatively unimportant, with municipal and county politics in Victorian Britain being somewhat detached from national politics, and national political divisions.[1] Liberal candidates would do particularly well in Wales however, winning clear majorities in 11 of Wales' 13 counties.[2] The Liberals only failed to take Brecknockshire and Radnorshire, which had hung councils.[2] In the English counties the Liberals took only Cumberland, Holland, London, and the West Riding, with most councils being run on an apolitical basis.

The elections were the first following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, which established county councils and county borough councils in Scotland.

1790 Irish general election

[edit]

The 1790 Irish general election was the penultimate general election to the Irish House of Commons.

The House of Commons was dissolved on 8 April.

Since the last election a new political grouping had emerged in Ireland - the Irish Whig Club. This group, was largely composed of members of the Patriot Party, and led by Henry Grattan, George Ponsonby, John Forbes, and Lord Charlemont,[1] with Thomas Conolly being appointed General Secretary. Whilst the new party did well in County Dublin, which saw several heated contests, it fared poorly in the country at large.[2] [3]

1753 by-election

[edit]

The 1753 Armagh by-election was a by-election held in the Irish parliamentary constituency of Armagh County following the death of the sitting Member of Parliament (MP), Robert Cope. The by-election - alongside another in County Galway - came at the height of the Money Bill dispute; when the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland, Henry Boyle, refused to hand over an Irish tax surplus to London. The election was won by William Brownlow - who had the support of Primate Stone and the Dublin Castle administration. His opponent - Francis Caulfield, Lord Charlemont's brother, lost narrowly, and subsequently petitioned Parliament claiming

Context

[edit]

Following the refusal of Boyle to provide Irelands tax surplus to London, Primate Stone Archbishop of Armagh, had been attempting to reduce the influence of the leading parliamentary undertakers; Speaker Boyle, Anthony Malone and Thomas Carter. Stone aimed to replace them with his own supporters, the Ponsonbys led by the Earl of Bessborough.

Boyle, Malone and Carter whipped up popular support, turning the issue into a trial of strength between the Lord Lieutenant and the country or "Patriot" party. Boyle, helped by Carter's wickedly provocative tongue, began a whispering campaign against Primate Stone. There was a personal antagonism between Carter and Primate Stone as the latter had been instrumental in foiling Carter's attempts to obtain the reversion of his office of Master of the Rolls for his young unknown and inexperienced son.
