The second election for the Cardiganshire County Council took place in March 1892.^[1] It was preceded by the inaugural 1889 election and followed by the 1895 election

Overview of the result

To some extent the euphoria of 1889 had passed three years later and the whole atmosphere was marked by less excitement. The result, however, was virtually identical to that of the inaugural election.

Boundary changes

One feature was that the multi-member seats, which existed in urban areas in the first elections, were divided so that all councillors were now elected to represent single member wards.

Unopposed returns

There were far more unopposed returns than three years previously.^[2]

Retiring aldermen

The following aldermen retired at the election:

• Earl Of Lisburne, Conservative
• Rev Llewellyn Edwards, Liberal
• Jenkin Jenkins (Aeronian), Liberal
• Daniel Jones, Liberal
• Rev John Davies, Liberal
• William Jones, Conservative
• Major Price Lewes, Conservative
• Jenkin Jenkins, Blaenplwyf, Liberal

Of the eight retiring aldermen, only Jenkin Jenkins and Llewellyn Edwards, both of whom were made aldermen as defeated candidates in 1889, sought election. Jenkins won at Llanfihangel Ystrad but Edwards was again defeated at Llanbadarn, this time by solicitor Hugh Hughes.

Contested elections

Most contests were again on party lines although there were several instances of Liberals opposing each other. The Conservatives had a few successes, notably at New Quay where Captain Longcroft of Llanina triumphed following divisions amongst local nonconformists.

The New Council

Elected Members

Council following the election of aldermen and by-elections

Three Conservative / Unionist and five Liberal aldermen were elected, replicating the balance of the retiring aldermen.

The Liberals strengthened their majority by capturing all three seats which became vacant following the election of aldermen.

Election of aldermen

In addition to the 48 councillors the council consisted of 16 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Following the elections, the following aldermen were appointed by the newly elected council.^[3]

• Peter Jones, Liberal (elected councillor at Trefeurig)
• Jenkin Jenkins, Blaenplwyf, Liberal (retiring alderman, elected councillor at Llanfihangel Ystrad)
• Evan Richards, Liberal (elected councillor at Llanfihangel y Creuddyn)
• John Powell, Liberal (elected councillor at Troedyraur)
• Col. Herbert Davies-Evans, Conservative (elected councillor at Llanwenog)
• W.O. Brigstocke, Liberal (elected councillor at Llangoedmor)
• D.W.E. Rowland, Conservative (elected councillor at Llanddewi Brefi)
• Dr Jenkin Lewis, Conservative (elected councillor at Cilcennin)

In contrast to the initial elections, all eight aldermen selected in 1892 were elected members of the Council. The Conservatives were again allocated three places, although two of those selected had captured their seats from the Liberals at the recent election. Their elevation allowed the defeated Liberal candidates to be returned unopposed at the ensuing by-elections (see below).

Aldermanic vacancies, 1892-98

Colonel Davies-Evans decided not to accept a place on the aldermanic bench soon after the election. The Conservatives proposed that their nominee, David Lloyd, should occupy the vacancy but the Liberals were divided on the issue. In the ballot, Lloyd was elected by 19 votes against 18 for T.H.R. Hughes.^[4] As a result, the following appointment was made for six years in May 1892.

• David Lloyd, Conservative (elected councillor at Lampeter)

By-elections

Six of the eight vacancies were filled unopposed and there were two contested elections.^[5] The Liberals captured all eight sets, including the three held by the Conservative or Unionist aldermen.

Cilcennin by-election

John Davies, elected in 1889, but defeated at the initial election, was returned unopposed.
