Municipal elections in Toronto
1890
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on January 2, 1888. Edward Frederick Clarke, a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, defeated Alderman Elias Rogers, owner of a well-known coal and home heating company, and Daniel Defoe, a lawyer and former alderman.
Rogers, a Quaker, was seen as the "temperance [anti-alcohol] candidate for mayor" while Clarke was favoured by tavern and liquor store owners and anti-temperance voters. Clarke's victory, along with the defeat of two liquor bylaws being proposed by referendum (popular vote), were seen as a victory for anti-temperance views.

Municipal elections in Toronto
1893
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on January 1, 1894. Warring Kennedy was elected, defeating Mayor Robert John Fleming, who was seeking a third term. Kennedy's upset was credited to the increased turnout by Methodists due to the plebiscite on Prohibition as well as the strong organized support for Kennedy by the Protestant Protective Association and the Orange Order.

Plebiscite
Plebiscite

Under the Prohibition Plebiscite Act, a plebiscite was held across the province, in conjunction with municipal elections, on the  prohibition of the importation, manufacture, and sale alcohol. For this plebiscite, unmarried women, and widows, were allowed to vote - approximately 5,000 women in Toronto - of which 1,117 did so. Men and women were given different colours, which were counted separately. The plebiscite did not result in the enactment of prohibition legislation by the province, however, as in 1896, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council disallowed provincial authority over the importation of alcohol.

Municipal elections in Toronto
1894
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on January 8, 1895. Mayor Warring Kennedy was narrowly elected to a second term in office, narrowly defeating former mayor Robert John Fleming, in a rematch of the previous year's election. Kennedy was re-elected based on support from the Protestant Protective Association and the Orange Order. The main issue in the election was a proposal championed by former alderman Ernest A. Macdonald to build an aqueduct or canal linking the Humber River with Georgian Bay; with opponents of the scheme being returned to council while proponents were defeated.

Municipal elections in Toronto
1897
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on January 3, 1898. Mayor John Shaw was first elected mayor by Toronto City Council after his predecessor, Robert John Fleming, resigned on August 5, 1897 to accept an appointment as assessment commissioner. Shaw was returned to office in the 1898 election by defeating former alderman Ernest A. Macdonald, who was making his second attempt to be elected mayor. The main issues of both the mayoralty and aldermanic campaigns were a proposal to build the James Bay Railway from Toronto to James Bay and proposals to get cheap hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls so that the city could have access to cheap electricity, with Shaw favouring both proposals, along with almost all aldermen who were elected.

1908
1900s in Ontario
In the 1906 Toronto municipal election, held January 1, 1906, Alderman Emerson Coatsworth ran against Controller Frank S. Spence for mayor of Toronto. The position of mayor was open as incumbent Thomas Urquhart declined to run for re-election.

The main issue of the campaign was liquor licensing as Spence, a leading prohibitionist, advocated the curtailing of licensed establishments in the city. Coatsworth defeated Spence by 4,000 votes. Proposals to reduce the number of liquor licenses for taverns and liquor stores were both defeated.

1900s in Ontario
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1907. Incumbent Mayor of Toronto Emerson Coatsworth was re-elected to a second one-year term, defeating Socialist Party of Canada candidate James Lindala and Robert Buist Noble, who was also a socialist. Lindala's strong showing and the mayor's reduced vote total was seen as a repudiation of Coatsworth with The Globe newspaper declaring on its front page "that an unknown Socialist tailor of foreign birth should poll over eight thousand votes for the Mayoralty of Toronto against a barrister of irreproachable personal character, who at one time represented his native city in Parliament... proves how utterly repugnant has been the jellyfish administration  of the past year." Coatsworth did not run for a third term the following year.
