In 1882 he was elected as a member of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania and was re-elected in 1884; he was chairman of the committee on constitutional reform. His journalistic career commenced when, in connection with J. C. Rairigh, he founded the Indiana Times, whose initial number they issued on September 4, 1878.
