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 Isaac Van Schaick in the Fourth Wisconsin District, is forty-eight years of age. He is a millwright by profession, and was bora July 22, 1838, in Baltimore. He is not a socialist, but is generally classed with them, owing to his broad-gauge wav 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.
