O'Connor, Hon. Daniel, M.L.C., is of Irish extraction, and has been an alderman of the city of Sydney. He represented West Sydney in the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales until the last General Election. He was Postmaster-General in the last Robertson Government from Dec. 1885 to Feb. 1886, and was reappointed to that position in March 1889, when the late Parkes Ministry came into power, and took a prominent part in the Postal Conference at Sydney in 1891. At the General Election in June 1891, he was defeated for West Sydney, and subsequently contested Monaro with like ill-success. He was, however, nominated to the Legislative Council, and retained his seat in the Government until its defeat in Oct. 1891.
