Source: SMH 1 March 1887, p.9 col.2, includes booth results. Incomplete returns published in election summary 28 February 1887, p.12 col.4.
Corrections: Some confusion over the candidates here. Brown was initially listed as a Protectionist in the DT, but by the end of the election both the SMH and DT had him as a Free Trader. Wade was generally listed as an Independent, but the DT had him as a Free Trader afterwards.
