1875 Kilkenny City by-election
The 1875 Kilkenny City by-election took place on 28 April 1875. It happened because the current Home Rule MP, John Gray, died.
Three candidates went against each other in the election: Gray's son Edmund Dwyer Gray, Edward Marum, and Benjamin Whitworth, the old MP for Drogheda.[1]
Whitworth won the election with 307 votes. Gray got 125 votes and Marum 112 votes. The Times said this was a bad thing for the Home Rule League.[2]
