The Anti-Confederation Party led by Charles Fox Bennett won the election. However, defections and resignations before the assembly's opening reduced his party to a minority[1] and Frederick Carter formed the government in 1874.[2]
Prescott Emerson was chosen as speaker.[3]
Sir Stephen John Hill served as colonial governor of Newfoundland.[4]
