1892 North Wexford By-election
The 1892 North Wexford by-election was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of North Wexford on 11 March 1892. The vacancy arose because of the resignation of the sitting member, John Redmond of the Irish Parliamentary Party, in order to contest the seat of Cork City, following the death of its MP, Charles Stewart Parnell; Redmond, as a supporter of Parnell following a party split, was chosen to run as representative of the Parnellite faction. Only one candidate was nominated, Thomas Joseph Healy of the Irish Parliamentary Party, an anti-Parnellite, and he was therefore elected unopposed.''The New House of Commons'', Macmillan, 1892, page 259 [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Its central objectives were legislative independence for Ireland and land reform. Its constitutional movement was instrumental in laying the groundwork for Irish self-government through three Irish Home Rule bills. Origins The IPP evolved out of the Home Rule League which Isaac Butt founded after he defected from the Irish Conservative Party in 1873. The League sought to gain a limited form of freedom from Britain in order to manage Irish domestic affairs in the interest of the Protestant landlord class. It was inspired by the 1868 election of William Ewart Gladstone and his Liberal Pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the Northern Hemisphere, the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March. The March equinox on the 20 or 21 marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the Northern Hemisphere's March. Origin The name of March comes from ''Martius'', the first month of the earliest Roman calendar. It was named after Mars, the Roman god of war, and an ancestor of the Roman people through his sons Romulus and Remus.
