Source: Report of nominations, Gundagai Times, 26 November 1880, p.2 col.1-3, SMH 25 November p.3 col.4 giving no more than a cursory mentions of names. Results from Gundagai Times, 3 December 1880, p.2 col.2. SMH results published 1 December, p.3 col.1 and referred to as 'all returns' had different results, 606 / 314 / 231. Daily Telegraph had same totals as SMH 1 December, p.3 col.3, Town and Country Journal p.1115 col.3 reported 606 / 304 / 231. None of these totals quite match the total of votes in the Statistical Register.
