He was educated at St. John’s College under Bishop Anderson and won a scholarship in 1857. In 1861 he married Letitia Flett (also Métis), the daughter of the Reverend George Flett and Frances Fanny Cook. They had seven children. Alexander was one of the founders of the Winnipeg Board of Trade, in 1873. He was elected to the Manitoba Legislature in 1874 and re-elected in 1878 for the constituency of St. Charles. He vacated his seat to serve as Police Magistrate in East Marquette, but remained in the position briefly. In 1879, he was elected to the legislature for Assiniboia, and re-elected in 1883 as a Liberal-Conservative. In April he was appointed Speaker of the House in which capacity he served until December 1886. He was appointed Minister of Municipal Affairs on July 7, 1887, and remained in office until April 30, 1888. He then accepted a post in the Municipal Commissioner’s office which he held for many years. He was twice a delegate to Ottawa as a promoter of “Better Terms.” He died at the family residence in St. Charles on May 12, 1913, and was buried in Headingley Cemetery.
