Source: Totals taken from Murrumburrah Standard, 26 February 1887, totals matching those in the Year-Book of Australia (1888). Slight difference with Mackinnon on 1051 in results published SMH 22 February 1887, p.4 col.1, report including booths and stating 'all returns in'. Table of booths is republished in election summary, 28 February, p.12 col. 3, but Gordon's vote total is increased to 1100, even though the table still only adds to 1095.
