Ha lived to a green old-age and his works do follow him. ior he was in the making oi Canada, a pioneer in laying the ioundations of Canada's nationality. The begin- nings oi his journalistic and political career were at a period when the in- fluence oi the Family Compact still held a belated sway, and his ener- gies and abilities I were devoted to voicing and furthering the interests of democracy both in the press and on the platiorln. He commenced his newspaper career on the First oi January i881. and in November oi that year he was in the Press Gallery st the opening oi the first Conied- eration Parliament at Ottawa. He mg 3g d the earlier Parliamentary sessions. and had the honour cf being elected President in 1881-2. During the same period he was resi- dent correspondent oi the Toronto Globe, doing some of the best work oi his career in that capacity. He became tlieiirst editor oi the Ivlfllifik- ton Daily Transcript in 1882. and the following year returned to the St. John Telegraph as Editor-in-chici. While in that position he took an active part in politics, and became a parliamentary candidate in the Lib- eral intsrests, devoting all his time practically ior the next three years to public liie. In 189s he became Editor oi the Guardian s position he held with great acceptance ior l6 years, when he was offered and ac- cepted the oflice oi Publicity and In that ofllce he accomplished a gloat deal oi valuable work ior the‘ miielit oi the Province.

As a Lcturer and debatrr hc hold an enviable reputation, and rarely rc- iuaed his servicm in either capacity, most of the local organizations being indebted to him on dlflercnt occas- ions. As a writer oi special articles his contributions were much sought after by Canadian Magazines and other publications, his intimate per- sonal acquaintance with the states- men irom Coniederation times, and especially the inner political history, giving him s unique position as an authority worth quoting. He knew personally all the Governor-generals and Premiers irom 1B8’! to the pres- ent day, and regularly cn the anni- versary of his birthday in later years in ma». Endowed with a iacile pen, backed by a weT-stslred mind. he wrote with a grace and eflect rarely surpassed in Canadian Journalism. i-le cmild be bitterly cynical when occasion oe- manded, but in later life as a rule his writings were characterized by a sane moderation and common-Prise ac- curacy which commanded attention and respect. Most determined in whatever he undertook, he always saw the end he had in view and wrought incessantly until it had been attained. Headers oi the Guardian for over a generation are iamiliar with thosa characteristics, and it is well illustrated by the public health oseunlsm he successfully waged in Ottawa. lloeektcn and Charlotte- town against the , test cddafflie seal estate interests o! msir day and ‘w lli. .4» ' itnslhasame wlththe Temper- ance question.
