This was a holdover from when the Island had a bicameral legislature, the General Assembly and the Legislative Council. In 1893, the Legislative Council was abolished and had its membership merged with the Assembly, though the two titles remained separate and were elected by different electoral franchises. Assembleymen were elected by all eligible voters of within a district, while Councillors were only elected by landowners within a district.http://www.revparl.ca/11/2/11n2_88e_Driscoll.pdf History and Politics of Prince Edward Island Fred Driscoll Canadian Parliamentary Review Kings District Assemblyman Party Councillor Party 1st Kings     John McLean Conservative     John Kickham Conservative 2nd Kings     Arthur Peters Liberal     Anthony McLaughlin Liberal 3rd Kings     Malcolm MacDonald Liberal Conservative     James E.
