Composition of Corporation after the election |
An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 3 November 1885, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 10 of the corporation's 25 seats were up for election.
This election marked a conversion of sitting councillors to a labour programme. John Morgan of Greyfriars, who was elected temporarily after a councillor resigned, stood affiliated with the Aberdeen United Trades Council. The same situation occurred with Alexander Lyon Jr. of St. Nicholas, who had lost to a Trades Council candidate at the previous election. All three seats in Greyfriars ward were up for election as two councillors resigned and one was disqualified from holding office. [1]
