Notes: P A Jennings did not re-contest. He explained his reasons in a letter to electors published in Dubbo Dispatch, 11 February 1887, p.5 col.5.
Source: SMH 1 March 1887, p.9 col.2 including booth results. Note that incomplete returns were published in the SMH election summary 28 February 1887, p.12 col.4.
Corrections: The classification of the two Protectionist candidates is unclear, and the final DT listing has Cass as a Protectionist Independent.
