Daniel enlisted in the American Civil war and served as a Surgeon with the 47th Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Mounted Infantry a Union Regiment from October 1863 to December 1864.

Daniel served as an assistant surgeon in the United States Army from 1865 to 1871.

After a three-year term as an Alderman in Saint John, New Brunswick, he was elected Mayor, a post he held from 1900 to 1902.

Elected to the House of Commons four times, Daniel represented Saint John federally from 1904 to 1911.

In 1912 Daniel was appointed to the Senate of Canada, where he sat until his death.
