William Alfred Galliher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Alfred Galliher (July 26, 1860 – November 23, 1911) was a Canadian lawyer and Liberal politician. Gallier was born in Bruce County, Canada West. In 1885 he served as part of the British Nile contingent under General Wolselsey. Gallier was a partner of noted lawyer Charles F.P. Conybeare from 1888 to 1887.
Galliher was elected as MP for Yale—Cariboo in 1900, despite running against "Independent-Labour" candidate Christopher Foley, who threated to split the Liberal vote. After the Kootenay riding was split off from Yale Cariboo in 1904, Galliher was reelected there, and remained in the House until 1908.
