1892 Liverpool Everton by-election

The vacancy was caused by the death on 14 January of the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Edward Whitley.

[2] The Executive Committee of the Everton Conservatives met on 22 January to consider their choice of candidate for the by-election.

[7] The Liberal Party had intended to contest the election, and hoped that if the Conservatives had selected the brewer Houlding they would have gained the temperance vote.

[7] The writ was moved in the Commons on 10 February by Aretas Akers-Douglas,[8][9] the MP for St Augustine's.

[11] Sir John held the seat until serious illness[12] prompted his resignation from Parliament in February 1905 by taking the Chiltern Hundreds,[13] triggering another by-election.
