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.
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.
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.
There were far more unopposed returns than three years previously. [2]
Of the eight retiring aldermen, only Jenkin Jenkins and Llewellyn Edwards, both of whom were made aldermen as defeated candidates in 1889, sought election.
The Liberals retained a substantial majority on the council.
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 two retiring aldermen who sought election had mixed fortunes. Jenkins won at Llanfihangel Ystrad but Edwards was again defeated at Llanbadarn, this time by solicitor Hugh Hughes.
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).

One retiring alderman was re-elected:
In addition, seven new aldermen were elected:
The following aldermen were not re-elected:
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.
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.
John Davies, elected in 1889, but defeated at the initial election, was returned unopposed.

The first election to the Glamorgan County Council was held on 17 January 1889. Results were announced over several days. They were followed by the 1892 election.
