Due to poor party organisation and disputes over the meaning of the solidarity pledge and the fiscal question, the party caucus split almost from the day of its first meeting. The membership of caucus was extremely fluid with some members (here indicated as Independent Labour) accepting a modified pledge that bound them to vote for the party platform. The second party designations are those for which the member stood at the 1894 election.
