edward barron chandler

Edward Barron Chandler (August 22, 1800-February 6, 1880) was a New Brunswick politician and lawyer from a United Empire Loyalist family Chandler moved from Nova Scotia to New Brunswick to study law and remained in the colony. In 1827 he was elected to the provincial legislature as an opponent of responsible government and later served on the province's Legislative Council (the legislature's Upper House) and in Cabinet serving as leader of the "compact" government that ruled the colony from 1848 to 1854 prior to the institution of responsible government. Later, Chandler was a New Brunswick delegate to the conferences in London, Charlottetown, and Quebec that led to Canadian confederation. Though he supported confederation and the federal Conservatives of Sir John A. Macdonald he was a cautious supporter who opposed a strong central government. He also supported railway development and reciprocity with the United States. He refused an appointment to the Canadian Senate but accepted an appointment to the position of lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick in 1878. See also:
