In 1890 he was elected by the Democrats as Sheriff of Umatilla County. He was re-elected in 1892. In 1894 he became cashier of the Pendleton Savings Bank, which had closed its doors in the panic, and he succeeded in building up one of the strongest financial institutions in Eastern Oregon. Two years ago he was promoted from cashier to be president of the bank. In 1896 Mr. Furnish left the Democratic party on the free silver issue. He was one of the McKinley electors in 1900.

In the fall of the same year he went to Oregon, settling at Albany, where he taught school for some time. In 1879 he began the practice of law at Albany.
