Item Description

The 1884 Reform Demonstration, organised by the Trades' Unions, was the largest demonstration to have taken place in Aberdeen since 1832. It was held as part of a campaign to equalize the county and burgh franchises. At this time, there were different qualifications, counties and burghs did not have the same rights.

Farmers who rented small farms did not get the vote until the 1884 Reform Act was passed. This detailed description of the Demonstration appeared first in the Daily Free Press. The Daily Free Press was a Radical Liberal newspaper and in favour of reform.
