Early life

McBride was born near St. Louis, Missouri in 1832, the son of James McBride.[1] In 1851, he moved with his family to Lafayette, Oregon, where he became the superintendent of schools at the age of 22.[1] He studied law and after being admitted to the bar in 1855, he began a law practice in Lafayette.[1]

Oregon politics

In 1857, he served in the Oregon Constitutional Convention representing Yamhill County.[2] In 1860, he was elected to the Oregon Senate, and to the United States House of Representatives as a Republican in 1862.[1] He served one term, and after unsuccessfully seeking the Republican party's nomination for a second term in 1864, he was nominated as Chief Justice of Idaho Territory by President Lincoln on January 28, 1864.[3] He was confirmed by the senate on February 14, 1865, and resigned on April 23, 1868.[4][5]

Grant administration

In 1869, President Grant named him superintendent of the United States assay office in Boise, Idaho.[1] He was a member of Republican National Committee from the Idaho Territory in 1872, and a member of Republican National Committee from Washington from 1880 to 1892.[6]

Later career and death

He practiced law in Boise and in Salt Lake City, Utah before moving his practice to Spokane, Washington, where he died in 1904.[1] He was interred at Germany Hill Cemetery in St. Helens, Oregon.[6]
