County Observer. 9th December, 1885
Mr. Cordes at the Dock

Mr. Cordes addressed three enthusiastic meetings near the Alexandra Dock on Tuesday afternoon. The first was held at the works of Messrs Arthur & Son in Coomassie Street. During this brief address he was repeatedly cheered and at the close of the meeting three hearty cheers were given in his favour, and also to the honour of Lord Salisbury and the present Government. At number six hoist near the Alexandra Dock Mr. Cordes addressed another fairly well attended meeting, and was again accorded a very enthusiastic welcome. A short time after a large crowd assembled outside the Alexandra Dock Hotel, where the candidate touched upon the subject of fairly balanced trade, and also referred at some length to the question of Leaseholds.
