The Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry [1] 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 [2] and the riding history [3]. But, The Canadian parliamentary companion, 1887 [4] 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." [5]. -- Big_iron ( talk) 09:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
