Great Yarmouth (England) -- History
July 30th.—Contains the following as to the coming contest:—“The Liberal
candidates are announced to address the electors at the Angel Hotel,
Market Place, on Wednesday evening next. Mr. Wodehouse arrived on
Saturday last, and there is little doubt of both the candidates receiving
an enthusiastic welcome on their first public appearance before the
Liberal portion of the constituency. The selection of Messrs. Wodehouse
and Gurdon for the Northern Division of the County has been regarded with
general satisfaction here, even among Liberals of the more advanced
school of politics, and the coming contest promises to see the Liberal
party of this borough thoroughly united and more than usually perfect in
its electoral organisation.”
