iccts OF Improvement In his part Of tho
State, and by his Hnblic spirit wns
brought into sucl prominence that In
1858 no was reformed to tho State Legis-
lature, this time rs Senator, and was by
the Senate made its President pro tom.
Through the session of 1858 and 1859
Mr.. Wheeler was foremost in carrying
out the policy Of the Republican party,
which had then for the first time obtain
cd control OF the Legislature. In the
fall OF the last named year he was elect
cd member Of the Thirty SEVENTY
Congress rs representative Of the Six
teenth District, composed OF the coun-
ties of Clinton, Essex, and Franklin, and
which he carried by large majority.
During the long sessions Of this war
Congress Mr.. Wheeler was steadfnst 70
the party by which no was elected. Al
the close of the Congress his private al
fairs demanded so much Of his attention
that he refused TO run for second term.
In April 1867, he was member Of tho
State Constitutional Convention, and
when that body met in June following
lie was elected its Chairman. His po-
sition removed him from participating In
the debates of the floor, but his speech
upon taking the chair, and in which he
expressed his views relating to the OBJ
ject for which the convention was cali
ed, was that Of a statesman.
In the fall following the adjournment
of the convention Mr.. Wheeler was
again nominated tor and electsda mem-
ber OF the Forty-first Congress, and took
his seat the following March. Mr.
Blaine. then tho newly-elected Speaker
appointed Mr.. Wheeler to the Chair
manshlp ofthe Committee on the Pacific
Railroad. This position he also held in
the following Congress. In 1870 he
was sent to the Forty-third Congress,
and is alsoa member oil the present
House, being a member of the commit
tee on Appropriations.
Including the present and unexpircd
term, Mr.. Wheeler has represented this
district in Congress forsevcn years, and
during that time has done continuous
service. While member Mr.. Wheeler
| has not been noted for long and frequent
speeches, but has been working mem-
ber, assiduous in his efforts for the dis
trict he represented, and a constant Ia
borer in his committees. -
When the Louisiana case came up in
January, 1875, he was found true to his
trust, and his record during the long
and bitter fight which the Democrats
inauguratcd was unwavcringly with his
party.
