1875 Kilkenny City by-election

The 1875 Kilkenny City by-election took place on 28 April 1875. It happened because the current Home Rule MP, John Gray, died.
Three candidates went against each other in the election: Gray's son Edmund Dwyer Gray, Edward Marum, and Benjamin Whitworth, the old MP for Drogheda.
Whitworth won the election with 307 votes. Gray got 125 votes and Marum 112 votes. "The Times" said this was a bad thing for the Home Rule League.
