This is an invitation to a meeting of the election committee of Charles Fraser MacKintosh in the Royal Hotel, Inverness. Fraser MacKintosh was a candidate for the Inverness Burghs seat at the General Election of 1874.
The result of the election for the Inverness Burghs seat (comprising Inverness, Nairn, Forres, and Fortrose) was:
Fraser MacKintosh (independent Liberal) 1134
MacKintosh of Raigmore (Liberal) 879
MacKintosh of Holme (Conservative) 16.
In the election as a whole the Liberals, led by William Gladstone, won a majority of the votes cast, but Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives secured a majority of seats in the House of Commons, largely because they won a number of uncontested seats
