Shanly, described as a Liberal-Conservative, defeated William Patrick* in June in the Reform stronghold of Grenville South.
Shanly was consulted in 1880 regarding the layout of the Credit Valley Railway and two years later he was invited by the directors of the Napanee, Tamworth and Quebec Railway Company to inspect and report on the road-bed and works of their projected line.
