The paper and Holmes were advocates of Canadian confederation.
Holmes remained editor until 1878 when he became Premier.
Holmes attempted to win a seat in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in 1867 but was defeated in a wave of anti-Confederation sentiment.
He won a seat in 1871 and soon became" de facto" leader of the Conservative opposition.
The Tories won the 1878 election and Holmes became Premier of the province to find the treasury depleted and the Legislative Council in the hands of the Liberals.
The Tory government passed legislation to create county government, lengthened the training period for teachers, subsidized education for blind children and attempted to improve mine safety.
The Liberal- dominated Upper House frustrated much of Holmes' program and he attempted three times to abolish the Legislative Council, but failed.
Holmes' personal style tended to be authoritarian and this factor, along with the political impasse, led to a caucus revolt that resulted in his resignation in 1882 to accept a lucrative position as crown clerk for Halifax County.
He died in Halifax.
