1895 Glamorgan County Council election
The third election to Glamorgan County Council was held on 4 March 1895.[1] It was preceded by the 1892 election and followed by the 1898 election.
Glamorgan County Council had been established by the 1888 Local Government Act, and the first elections held in early 1889. The county of Glamorgan was at this time becoming heavily industrialised, although some areas such as the Vale of Glamorgan remained essentially rural. The rise of nonconformist liberalism, especially since the 1860s, throughout Wales, had challenged the prevailing influence of the landed gentry. However, even in 1889, the traditional forces remained influential and no working men were elected to the Council. This changed in 1892 with the unopposed return of David Morgan in Aberdare and the success of Isaac Evans in Resolven.
Overview of the Result
[edit]As in most parts of Wales, the Liberal Party was once again triumphant and won a majority of the seats. In 1895 there were more unopposed results than in previous elections and the Conservatives made some headway, reflecting the position in the United Kingdom as a whole where the party took power that year.
Results are drawn from the Cardiff Times.[2] Results also appeared in the Celt (Bala).[3] Some additional results are drawn from local newspapers in South Wales.
Boundary Changes
[edit]There were some boundary changes at this election. In the Aberdare area the wards were reorganised to reflect those operating for the new Aberdare Urban District Council.[4]
An additional ward was created at Cadoxton following the division of the existing Barry division.
Unopposed Returns
[edit]As in previous elections there were a fair number of unopposed returns, including some seats not contested by the Liberals.[5][6]
Retiring Aldermen
[edit]Of the eleven retiring aldermen, two were Conservatives. Following the episode in 1892 when all but two aldermen did not seek re-election, only for the Council to decide that this was a pre-requisite for election as aldermen, a larger number sought re-election. Each was re-elected, including Sir John Llewelyn at Loughor and Penderry, although he faced Liberal opposition unlike in 1889.
Those who did not seek re-election included F.L. Davis at Ferndale.
Contested Elections
[edit]There were more uncontested elections than in the previous two contests for the County Council and the vast majority of those contested were straight fights between Liberal and Conservative candidates (or in some cases Independents who were widely regarded as Conservatives). In a small number of cases, Liberals faced each other.
Results
[edit]The sitting member, first elected at the 1889 election and re-elected in 1895 was opposed by Thomas Rees, landlord of the Swan Hotel, Aberaman and elected a member of the Aberdare Urban District Council at the inaugural 1894 election. The Merthyr Times opined that there was no necessity for a contest, and that the unsuccessful candidate had wasted his time and money.[7]

The election was fought on party lines and covered in detail in the Glamorgan Gazette.[8] The election was said to have attracted 'an exceptionally keen and widespread interest, not only immediately within the town boundaries, but in many an adjacent town, hamlet and village besides'.[9] Against the tide in the county the Liberals captured Bridgend for the first time

James Barrow, the sitting member, was opposed by another Liberal candidate, Jenkin Jones, due to his voting against disestablishment at a council meeting. It was a lively election, with all workmen having a holiday, leaving the streets crowded throughout the day. On the following day, some of Barrow's supporters paraded through the locality on horseback but were attacked by women who threw buckets of water and ashes over them.[12]

Election of Aldermen
[edit]In addition to the 66 councillors the council consisted of 22 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Following the 1895 election, there were twelve Aldermanic vacancies (the additional one following the death of a sitting alderman).
The following aldermen were appointed by the newly elected council.[14] They included three miners' agents who, together with Moses Moses, elected as alderman in 1892, made four labour members on the aldermanic bench. Conversely, following the retirement of Sir William Thomas Lewis, Sir John Llewellyn was now the only Conservative among the aldermen. Lewis and another retiring alderman, the prominent Liberal, Thomas Williams of Gwaelod y Garth, received some votes (presumably from Conservative councillors) but the liberal group held to the convention that only elected councillors could be made aldermen.[14]
- J. T. D. Llewellyn, Conservative, retiring alderman (elected councillor at Lougher and Penderry)
- Walter H. Morgan, Liberal, retiring alderman (elected councillor at Pontypridd)
- John Jones Griffiths, Liberal, retiring alderman (elected councillor at Porth)
- Dr H. Naunton Davies, Liberal, retiring alderman (elected councillor at Cymmer)
- William Morgan, Liberal, retiring alderman (elected councillor at Treherbert)
- Evan Lewis, Liberal (elected councillor at Gellifaelog)
- Richard Lewis, Liberal (elected councillor at Llwynypia and Clydach)
- Isaac Evans, Liberal-Labour (elected councillor at Resolven)
- David Davies, Liberal (elected councillor at Penydarren)
- David Morgan, Liberal-Labour (elected councillor at Gadlys)
- John Thomas, Liberal-Labour (elected councillor at Garw Valley)
elected for three years
- James Barrow, Liberal (elected councillor at Maesteg)

Gadlys by-election
[edit]Following the election of David Morgan as alderman, Richard Morgan, member for Hirwaun from 1889 until 1895 was selected as Liberal candidate following a well-attended public meeting.[15] As a result of boundary changes, Morgan had contested Llwydcoed against Rees Hopkin Rhys and had been narrowly defeated. Richard Morgan's selection was not immediately accepted and other meetings were held to promote other candidates, including Benjamin Evans.[16] Eventually, however, Richard Morgan was comfortably elected.[17]
