Arthur Elliot (politician)

Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot (17 December 1846 – 12 February 1923) was a British journalist and Liberal Unionist politician.Elliot was the second son of Emma Eleanor Elizabeth (née Hyslop) and William Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 3rd Earl of Minto.[4] He was re-elected in Durham at the 1900 general election with a much bigger majority, but his support of free trade then brought him into conflict with the Durham Constitutional Association (the local Conservative and Liberal Unionist organisation), some of whose members were backing John Waller Hills as an alternative for the next election.[5][6] Elliot married Madeline Harriet Dagmar, daughter of Sir Charles Lister Ryan, in 1888.Elliot lived for many years in Freshwater, Isle of Wight[7] and remained a widower until his death in February 1923, aged 76.
