The election was held before the adoption of party labels.
In 1883, the Opposition led by Andrew George Blair defeated the government of Daniel L. Hanington in a non-confidence vote which resulted in the government's resignation and Blair being asked to form a government.
The 1886 election saw Blair's government returned to office.
Of forty-one MLAs, thirty-three supported the government, and eight formed the opposition.
