Notes: Charles Augustus Goodchap did not contest the election through business commitments. (SMH 10 June, p.8 col.6) Schey and Howe received initial endorsement from Labor, but this was withdrawn after both accepted the support of the Protectionists. Both were listed as official Protectionist candidates, SMH 15 June, p.6 col.2. See discussion on Labor's choice of candidates in Redfern in Nairn, 'Civilizing Capitalism', pp.59-60. After defeat in Redfern, Howe contested and won election for Bourke as a Protectionist and never joined the Labor caucus,.
