Glenn served as a keeper at Sing Sing Prison, and was in 1861 to 1866, the postmaster of Macedon. He helped organize the Liberty Party, which he supported until switching to the Republican Party in 1850. Glenn was elected a member of the New York State Assembly from the first district of Cayuga County. In 1868, Glenn accused Alexander Frear of attempting to bribe him on the topic of the Erie Railroad. On April 10, a select committee appointed to investigate concluded that "the evidence does not furnish any justification for the charges made by Mr. Glenn against Mr. Frear." Thereupon a resolution was passed to censure Glenn. On April 11, Glenn resigned his seat. In November, he was re-elected, and took his seat again in January 1869. (en) |
