Notes
- Note: In late November 1889, W.W. Sullivan (Premier) resigned his seat in the House of Assembly to accept an appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island. The Liberal-Conservatives in his district backed his brother, John P. Sullivan, as a candidate to fill the vacancy. Following W.W. Sullivan’s resignation, control of the government was handed over to Neil McLeod, who represented Charlottetown & Royalty (also known as 5th Queens).
