Notes
- The 35 Labour candidates elected at this election were the first Labour candidates elected in the Australasian colonies. Due to poor party organisation and disputes over the meaning of the solidarity pledge and the fiscal question, the party caucus split almost from the day of its first meeting. The membership of caucus was extremely fluid with some members (here indicated as Independent Labour) accepting a modified pledge that bound them to vote for the party platform. The second party designations are those for which the member stood at the 1894 election.
- Joseph Palmer Abbott had been elected as a Protectionist however on his appointment as Speaker in 1890 he was listed as an independent.[4]
