He won the Franklin North electorate in 1887, and then the Parnell electorate in 1890 which he represented until he retired in 1911.[1]

In the 1890 election, he was listed as a supporter of the Atkinson Ministry, led by Harry Atkinson.[2] Following the election, he did change his allegiance to the Liberal Party and became Senior Whip for the Liberal Government from 1891 until his resignation from the role on 29 October 1894.[3]
