Daniel Maloney

Daniel Maloney (born: 1847 - died: 1910) was a politician from Northwest Territories, Canada.

Maloney first ran for election to the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories in the 1888 Northwest Territories general election in the Edmonton electoral district. He finished a distant fourth place in a field of four candidates behind Samuel Cunningham and the winners Herbert Charles Wilson and Frank Oliver.

Maloney would run for a second time in the 1891 Northwest Territories general election in the reconstituted St. Albert electoral district. He would again finish last, this time in a field of three candidates. Maloney's third attempt for office would prove successful as he won election in the 1894 Northwest Territories general election defeating incumbent Antonio Prince.

Maloney was defeated running for a second term in the 1898 Northwest Territories general election by Frederic Villeneuve. Maloney would win his seat back in the 1902 Northwest Territories general election. In 1903 he was unseated after allegations of bribery that was committed by his official agents during his 1902 election campaign surfaced. A by-election was called on June 9, 1903 and Maloney ran to keep his seat. He was defeated by Louis Lambert whom lost to Maloney in the 1902 campaign.^[1]
