The election was won by William Hutchison, who beat William Gisborne. BackgroundInitially, councillors elected one of their own as mayor towards the end of the year, and the role was usually awarded to the most senior councillor. The system changed with the introduction of The Municipal Corporations Acts Amendment Act, 1875, as that legislation stipulated that mayors had to be elected at large (i.e. by eligible voters).[1] The incumbent mayor, William Sefton Moorhouse, did not stand again, and a farewell dinner was given for him on 1 December.[2] William Gisborne was a strong candidate for the role, but he fell out with the public over him favouring denominational education. In addition, he then announced himself as a candidate for the 1875 general election in the {{NZ electorate link|City of Wellington}} electorate, and that triggered a concerted effort to find a suitable opponent. A 'less than optimal' candidate was eventually secured in William Hutchison, who had been in Wellington for less than two years, and whose newspaper, the Tribune, had failed during that time.[3] One of the local newspapers, The Evening Post, was a very strong supporter of Gisborne, and lost no opportunity to outline the failings of Hutchison to the public.[4] Election resultsThe following table gives the election results: {{Election box begin | title=1875 Wellington mayoral election[5]}} |party = Independent politician |candidate = William Hutchison |votes = 658 |percentage = 52.89 |change = }} {{Election box candidate with party link|party = Independent politician |candidate = William Gisborne |votes = 586 |percentage = 47.11 |change = }} {{Election box majority|votes = 72 |percentage = 5.79 |change = }} {{Election box turnout|votes = 1,244 |percentage = |change ={{Election box end}} The election was held on 15 December.[6] Hutchison beat Gisborne, and The Evening Post commented that this came as no surprise as Gisborne's stance on education had been misrepresented and twisted without scruple.[7] The defeat caused Gisborne to withdraw from the general election.[3] In December 1876, Hutchison was re-elected unopposed for a second term as mayor.[8] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Municipal Corporations Acts Amendment Act 1875 |url= http://www.enzs.auckland.ac.nz/document?wid=2168 |publisher=University of Auckland |accessdate=20 April 2013 |date=21 October 1875}} {{Mayors of Wellington|state=autocollapse}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wellington City Mayoral Election, 1875}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Dinner to the Mayor |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18751201.2.11 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=The Evening Post |volume=XII |issue=131 |date=1 December 1875 |page=2}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |title=Wellington |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18751230.2.18 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=The Star |issue=2425 |date=30 December 1875 |page=3}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Evening Post |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18751209.2.8 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=The Evening Post |volume=XII |issue=138 |date=9 December 1875 |page=2}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18751215.2.13 |work = The Evening Post |page=2 |title=The Mayoralty Election |date= 15 December 1875 |accessdate= 31 March 2016 | volume=XII | issue=143}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=City Council |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18751210.2.17.1 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=The Evening Post |volume=XII |issue=139 |date=10 December 1875 |page=3}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=Evening Post |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18751216.2.6 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=The Evening Post |volume=XII |issue=144 |date=16 December 1875 |page=2}} 8. ^{{cite news |title=Election for Mayoralty |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AS18761211.2.18 |accessdate=31 March 2016 |work=Auckland Star |volume=VII |issue=2134 |date=11 December 1876 |page=3}} 4 : Mayoral elections in Wellington|1875 elections in New Zealand|Politics of the Wellington Region|1870s in Wellington |
