As Mr. Ri'chardson's birth took place in 1860 he was not Jong out of his teens when he started for the West. He was born at Balderson, Lanark county, Ont., on a bright June` day of,that year and began his career as a newspaperman on the Montreal `Star'' at the age of eighteen. Two years later he went to the Toronto 'Globe' whence after a further period of two year's he removed to Winnipeg.' He established the Winnipeg 'Tribune' in 1890 and •10 still editor and pro- prietor of that progressive and in- fluential newspaper. He spent, eight Years In the house of Commons until defeated through -the inevitable swing of the political pendulum in 1904.
