Composition of Corporation after the election |
An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 4 November 1884, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 8 of the corporation's 25 seats were up for election.
This election was the first time labour-affiliated candidates won seats in Aberdeen's municipal elections. The candidates, James Forbes and George Maconnachie, were supported by the Aberdeen United Trades Council. [1] The primary question at hand was the rates of councillors' salaries, and public feelings on the matter were clear as all retiring councillors but one were not re-elected. [2]
