His first political offices he held from 1882 to 1890 in the municipal council of Geneva , where he represented liberal positions. In the same year he was elected to the Grand Council of the Canton of Geneva , where he had a seat until 1892. He then moved up to the Council of States in 1892 , but was no longer re-elected in 1893.
