1893 Newfoundland general election

The 1893 Newfoundland general election was held on November 6, 1893 to elect members of the 17th General Assembly of Newfoundland in Newfoundland Colony. Although the Liberals won the majority of seats, the Conservative party filed petitions against 15 elected Liberals and one Independent, James Murray, alleging election irregularities. The results of those elections were set aside by the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and the candidates were barred from seeking reelection. The Conservative party, led by Augustus F. Goodridge, temporarily held the balance of power and formed a government in 1894. Once the resulting by-elections had been held, the Liberals regained the balance of power and formed a government led by Daniel Joseph Greene. Greene's government passed legislation allowing candidates who had been disqualified to seek election again. William Whiteway was reelected in a by-election in early 1895 and became Premier.
