Notes: Miller advertised in the Murrumburrah Standard 9 February, describing himself as a 'Farmers and Working Men's Candidate' and stated that he would not withdraw from the contest. Presumably he was under pressure to withdraw to avoid splitting the Protectionist vote.

Murrumburrah Standard had the same result as the Chronicle, barring Gough being on 930, 16 February, p.2 including booth results.
