Background

After initially being in doubt as to whether he would seek a third term, incumbent mayor John Aitken allowed his name to go forward to be nominated to stand for re-election.[1] He was returned unopposed as no other candidates were nominated to oppose him.[2] It was the fifth election since 1875 that the mayoralty was uncontested.Шаблон:Sfn

The statutory meeting of ratepayers to consider the loan proposals of the city council was held on election day, though attendance at the meeting was low. The ratepayers rejected the proposals by a large majority.[3] This low attendance had become commonplace in local politics and was known as "veto by abstention".Шаблон:Sfn
