Soon afterward he began the practice of law in the office of Judge Messic of San Francisco and Virginia City, Nevada. Two years later he returned to Bakersfield, where he has since remained in the active, conscientious and successful practice of his profession. He is a special master in chancery and in this capacity as acceptably acted as referee in many important cases. Besides his professional duties. Colonel Brigham has discharged with rare fidelity and success many important functions in the business affairs of his section. He is one of the founders and vice-president of the Enosburg Falls Savings Bank and Investment Company, and he is a director of the Lamoille County National Bank of Hyde Park and vice-president of the Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Montpelier. He is the judicious and friendly counselor in business, as well as in legal matters, of many acquaintances and friends, whose implicit confidence he enjoys. His unfailing courtesy, good fellowship and helpfulness have won the cordial esteem of all, irrespective of creed or party In politics a zealous Democrat, he has served his town in many important capacities, as selectman, town agent and trustee of the public money, and as representative in 1882 and 1884. He has been the party's candidate for state's attorney, also for state senator. In 1894 he was a delegate to the national convention which nominated Grover Cleveland for president, and received an appointment in the consular service at Stanbridge, Quebec. In 1896 he was the Democratic candidate for United States senator and in 1886 the nominee for secretary of state of Vermont. In 1890 was nominated for governor of Vermont and received the hearty support of his party, greatly reducing the usual Republican majority. Governor Page emphasized his personal esteem by appointing Mr. Brigham chief of staff. The confidence in his ability, integrity and good judgment has been evinced by his recent appointment by Governor Bell as one of the committee of three to investigate the public institutions of the state. The keynote of Colonel Brigham 's private and public career is conscientious fidelity and rare judgment in the discharge of every responsibility.
