1899 Monaghan County Council election

November 2019 November 2019 The first election to Monaghan County Council took place in April 1899 as part of that year's Irish local elections. Campaign Under the Chairmanship of Col. John Leslie, the county Unionist Association met in early January to decide how to proceed, as there was an expectation that the party would be largely frozen out of the election, winning no more than five or six seats. As a result, the association attempted to build stronger links with Independent candidates, whilst also committing itself to contesting every possible seat. To achieve this, the association set up a Voters' Association, under the Honorary Presidency of W. Martin.Belfast News-Letter - Saturday 07 January 1899 pg.6 Aggregate results Monaghan County Council election, 1899 Nationalist Party (Ireland) 18 71.56 8,619 Irish Unionist Party 1 22.80 2,746 Independent (politician) 1 8.71 1,049 Ward results Aughabog Aughabog Irish Unionist Alliance John Grey 295 50.8 Nationalist Party (Ireland) James Brady 286 49.2 9 1.6 581 Irish Unionist Alliance Ballybay BallybayLarne Times - Saturday 15 April 1899Freeman's Journal - Tuesday 11 April 1899 pg.6 Nationalist Party (Ireland) Bernard McKenna 370 Irish Unionist Joseph McLean 119 251 489 Ballymackay Ballymackay J.
