Английская Википедия:1895 Cardiganshire County Council election
Шаблон:Use dmy dates The third election to the Cardiganshire County Council took place in March 1895. It was preceded by the 1892 election and followed by the 1898 election
Overview of the Result
The Liberals were again returned with a large majority. There were a large number of unopposed returns.[1]
Retiring Aldermen
The following aldermen, all of whom were Liberals, retired at the election.
- C.M. Williams
- David Jenkins, Maesteg, Glandovey
- Levi James
- William Davies
- J.T. Morgan
- David Lloyd
- John Davies
- Rev John Owen
Only C.M. Williams in Aberystwyth and David Lloyd in Aberbanc sought election. Levi James (Cardigan), William Davies (New Quay), J.T. Morgan (Talybont) and David Jenkins, Glandovey (elected from outside the Council) all stood down and did not seek re-election. John Davies, Tanycoed and John Owen, Blaenpennal, who had filled aldermanic vacancies since 1889 did likewise.[1] All those who stood down retired from county politics apart from J.T. Morgan who was re-elected as an alderman despite not facing the electorate.[2]
Contested Elections
There were fewer contested elections than on the previous two occasions as the politics of the county seems to settle down after the initial contests. In Aberystwyth it was said that the Town Council elections the previous November had elicited much greater interest.[3]
Those seats that were contested witnessed a swing towards the Conservative candidates, who captured a total of seven seats. These included significant victories at Cardigan and Llandysul. The contest in Bow Street could also be regarded as a Conservative gain.
It was said that a plough belonging to a farmer in Borth was destroyed due to his support for the Conservative candidate.
The New Council
The Liberals once again had a comfortable majority. Morgan Evans of Llanarth was elected chairman for 1895/96.

Election of Aldermen
The overhaul of the aldermanic bench saw the election of key figures from the liberal ranks. Having avoided the principle of electing from outside the Council four years previously this practice was now adopted once again, leading to criticism, most notably from the Liberal-supporting Cambrian News.[2] It was noted in particular that three defeated candidates were elected, namely James Stevens at Cardigan, Daniel Jones of Llanon and Davies of Cwrtmawr. J.T. Morgan of Talybont was also re-elected although he had not contested the election.
- T. H. R. Hughes, Liberal (elected councillor at Llanwnen)
- C. M. Williams, Liberal (retiring alderman; elected councillor at Aberystywth Ward 4)
- Morgan Evans, Liberal (elected councillor at Llanarth)
- James Stephens, Liberal (defeated candidate at Cardigan South)
- John Humphreys Davies, Liberal (defeated candidate at Llangeitho)
- Enoch Davies, Liberal (elected councillor at Penbryn )
- J.T. Morgan, Liberal (retiring alderman, from outside Council - did not seek election)
- Daniel Jones, Liberal (defeated candidate at Llansanffraed )
Aldermanic Vacancies 1895-1901
Daniel Jones died a few months after the election. In August 1895, James James of Ffynonhowell, from outside of the Council, was appointed to succeed him.[4]
Therefore, the following appointment was made for the remainder of the six-year term.
- James Jones, Liberal (from outside the Council)
