HENRY SMITH.

The New Congressman from Milwaukee. Henry Smith, the candidate of the People’s or Laboring Men’s party, who

was elected Congressman to succeed Isaao Yan Schaick in the Fourth Wisconsin District, is forty-eight years of age. He is a millwright by profession, and was bom July 22, 1838, in Baltimore. He is not a socialist, but is generally classed with them, owing to his broad-gauge way of expressing himself. He has been an

Alderman, on and off, for a period of eight years. In 1882 he was elected Comptroller of Milwaukee. He has also served in the Legislature. A wealthy Irish farmer, intending to send his son to college, recently sent a letter to the “head-master of Oxford University,” in which he said, “Please say what are your terms for a year; and will it cost anything extra if my son learns to write a good hand and spell proper, as well as to row a boat?”
