He attended the common schools; and Oneida Conference Seminary in Cazenovia from 1838 to 1839. Then he studied law in Hammondsport, was admitted to the bar in 1841, and practiced law first in Hammondsport, then in Allegany County.

He was a member of the New York State Democratic Committee from 1854 to 1858. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Erie Co., 1st D.) in 1858, and was Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. He was a delegate to the 1864 and 1876 Democratic National Conventions, and an alternate delegate to the 1868 and 1872 Democratic National Conventions.
