Notes: George Black is listed in both the Worker and Workman as a Labor candidate, and is a selected Labor candidate in all newspaper listings. However, he was also the only Labor candidate listed Reid's official lists of candidates. This is presumably the reason why Free Trader O'Connor was listed as an Independent by most papers, the affiliation adopted here.
