In 1894, he was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of New York, nominated by a split faction of the Democratic Party who were barred from the state convention, and opposed the nomination of ex-governor David B. Hill. Later he helped found the Citizens Union. Wheeler drafted the bill which created in 1897 the consolidated City of New York, incorporating the buroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. He was one of the founders of the American Bar Association.
