He took an active part in the fight for Confederation prior to 1867, and after filling several portfolios in the Dominion Government was appoint ed to the High Commissionership for Canada in London, where he served several years. He returned to Canada in 1896 and was induced to re-enter politics with a view to saving the Conservative party from | the misfortunes which were threaten- ing.
