Talk:Thomas Mayne Daly

1887 election
The Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry says "In 1887, running as a Conservative, Daly was elected to the House of Commons for Selkirk, a seat he would hold until the general election of 1896, when he declined nomination.". This does not agree with his parliamentary biography and the riding history []. But, The Canadian parliamentary companion, 1887 shows the riding results as: SELKIRK, MAN. T.M. Daly, C              2787 John A. Christie, L.      2608 and the biography for John A. Christie at the Manitoba Historical Society states that "In 1887, he ran as a Liberal candidate to the federal parliament, for the Selkirk constituency, but was defeated by Thomas M. Daly." . --Big_iron (talk) 09:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The election results for Selkirk and the parliamentary file for Thomas Mayne Daly have been corrected to reflect the fact that Daly was elected in 1887. I hae updated this article accordingly. --Big_iron (talk) 16:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
