He later invested in railroads, and in 1871 he was appointed director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. In 1872 he was elected Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre, as a Liberal. The election was regarded by observers on both sides as rife with enmity, bribery and corruption. In 1874 he was re-elected, but the return was voided and he retired from politics. (en)
