1820 Carlisle Election: a fine pearlware plate printed in blue with the inscription ‘William James Esqr Independent Freemans Call 1820’, 237mm diameter (2) *After a severe by-election contest commencing on 24th May and lasting for seven days, James polled 468 votes and Musgrave 382 votes. James, a ‘radical’, had come third in the General Election two months earlier when John Curwen, a more conventional Whig, had taken one of the seats and the Lowthers’ nominee the other. When Curwen elected to sit for Cumberland the ensuing by-election pitched James against Musgrave, another Lowther-backed candidate. Musgrave eventually succeeded to the second seat in 1825 and had his revenge against James in 1826 when the latter was pushed into a poor third place thus giving the Tories both the Carlisle seats.

1880 Leeds Election: A Doulton Burslem brown stoneware jug, the tapering body applied with a portrait medallion of W. E. Gladstone and inscribed for his electoral success, 240mm, rim restored * The City of Leeds had swayed between the parties since 1832, often electing one Liberal and one Conservative MP, although the Liberals won both seats in 1837 and 1852. In 1868, following the 1867 Reform Act when Leeds gained a third seat in Parliament, the borough always split two of one party to one of the other. The General Election in April 1880 was no exception. Gladstone was top of the poll; with fellow Liberal Sir John Barran(e) Bart. (1823-1901) second; and Conservative William Lawies Jackson (1840-1917) third. In the event Gladstone elected to sit for Edinburgh, where he had also been elected (accepting nomination in two places was not only permissible but quite common at this time). His fourth son Herbert John (1854-1930) was elected unopposed at the ensuing by election. This was probably the ‘coat-tail’ effect W E Gladstone was looking for in standing in Leeds in the first place! The quotation is from Gladstone’s famous ‘Inaugural Address to the Students of the University of Glasgow’, which he gave on 5th December 1879 and was published by John Murray. The crossed axes at the base of the handle refer to Gladstone’s habit of personally felling trees in the grounds of his Hawarden Castle home, near Chester. Illustrated
