BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HENRY T. SMITH.
Henry Townsend Smith, journal- ist, author, public official.
Mr. Smith comes from a family of newspaper men, his paternal grand- father, his father and his uncles, his cousins and his brothers (if not his aunts), were editors and publishers of newspapers. He began as a news- paper reporter when but fourteen years of age, and has for over forty years been a chronicler of history made daily.
When fifteen years of age he re- ceived the appointment of assistant postmaster to the New York State Senate; when he arrived in Albany he found that he was not of the re- quired age to take the oath of of- fice; the position of Superintendent of Documents was made for him, and he became the youngest man ever holding that position. Here he acquired a broad knowledge of pub- lic affairs and became acquainted with many of the State's leading men in that period, 1863, the year when Hon. Chauncey M. Depew be- gan his political career, and a great year in the State's political history. Horatio Seymour was Governor, and he is remembered as being very kind and considerate to the youngsters employed about the Capitol. Ou County was represented by Hezekiah D. Robertson, a cousin of the Judge, and best known as " Ki "' Robert- son. He was an able man and popular with everybody. Henry C. Murphy, of Brooklyn, was one of the ablest men in the Senate and a cul- tured orator; in 1852 Mr. Murphy came very near being chosen Presi- dent of the United States; it took a caucus of the Democratic National leaders to decide between him and Franklin Pierce; but the military experience of the latter was finally raised as a point in his favor, which at once turned the scale in his be- half and secured his nomination. Later, under President Buchanan, Mr. Murphy held the responsible posi- tion of Minister to Holland.
Richard B. Connolly, or plain " Dick " Connolly, of New York, who came to grief later along with his friend, William M. Tweed, in the New York city scandal, was in the Senate and was ever the friend
and champion of the " youngsters " engaged about the chamber, in fact was everybody's friend. His un- changeable good nature, and his uni- form courtesy made " Dick " im- mensely popular, and when he later got into trouble there was general regret among those who knew him best.
Also in the Senate then was Charles J. Folger, leader on the Re- publican side, who later, in 1881, became Secretary of the Treasury of the U. S., and, in 1882, ran for Governor against Grover Cleveland and was buried under a majority of two hundred thousand or more, a fate that he did not deserve; he was an especially able man; after that he retired from politics, as many had before him.
Lucius Robinson was then State Comptroller; later he became Gov- ernor, elected on the Democratic ticket.
Daniel S. Dickinson was Attor- ney-General and one of the most conspicuous characters in the public eye at the time. He was recognized as one of the country's greatest orators and biggest men. He had been Collector of the Port of New York and later a United States Sen- ator, and, though a Democrat, he was thought so well of by the Re- publicans, because he had come out boldly and used his oratory to arouse men to rally in support of the Union, when troops were needed, that it was proposed in 1864 to nom- inate him for Vice-President to run with Lincoln. The Republican leaders in the State of New York favored Dickinson, and why Andrew Johnson was named in place of Dickinson was at the time a mystery, and a mystery it has remained. The gen- eral belief was that Lincoln pre- ferred Dickinson, " the grand old man, "' as he was called, though he was but 64 years of age, having been born in 1800. In the year 1863, Horace Greeley had urged the Legislature of New York to elect him United States Senator; as it was he received a good vote in the Republican caucus.
It will be remembered that the Legislature of 1863 was consider- ably " mixed," over the attempts
322

to elect a Speaker in the Assembly and over the strife for the United States Senatorship; the organization of the Assembly, evenly divided be- tween the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, was effected only by an alleged Democrat deserting his party for pay, the consideration be- ing his election as Speaker.
Before he was of legal age Mr. Smith acted as Town Clerk of the town of Yonkers, discharging the duties of an invalid Town Clerk that latter's family might receive all the emoluments of the office.
He was the first chosen clerk to the Board of Assessors of the town of Yonkers, in 1866, and served in several following years.
In 1870 he received the unsolicited nomination on the Democratic ticket for Town Clerk, when James C. Courter ran for Supervisor against Ethan Flagg; Mr. Flagg was elec- ted by 320 majority, Mr. Smith was defeated by a strong candidate, James W. Mitchell, by 34 votes. After this showing Mr. Smith was offered the nomination for Super- visor, Receiver of Taxes, etc .; in fact, he had 20 delegates out of 28 in his favor in the Nominating Con- vention in the year 1872, for Re- ceiver of Taxes, but he declined to accept.
On James C. Courter being elected first Mayor of Yonkers in 1872, he, unsolicited, named Mr. Smith for first City Clerk. Though Mr. Smith received the full vote of his party's Aldermen (not enough of them), he was not confirmed; the Council de- ciding to retain the old Village Clerk, a most efficient man, and one entitled to the office.
When twenty-one years of age he received a license to teach in public schools from School Commissioner Franklin W. Gilley, but he did not accept positions offered, preferring to devote his time to journalism.
He was for a time president of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Yonkers, and attended local, County, Congressional, Senatorial and State Conventions as a delegate. Has presided over conventions when not in demand as the " working secretary."
He acted as political secretary for Congressman Clarkson
Potter, and Congressman Hutchins, and in similar position for George W. Davids, County Treasurer, for State Senator Henry C. Nelson and for Democratic State Committeeman Daniel C. Hickey.
Declined nomination for Member of Assembly, when nomination was equivalent to election.
Has been editor and publisher of newspapers in Yonkers, Port Ches- ter, Tarrytown and New Rochelle, where he now resides; finally retir- ing from local publishing to accept positions as suburban editor on New York city newspapers. Has been as- sociated with the New York Sun, the Daily News, the Mail and Ex- press, and the World, with the latter paper, was in charge of the West- chester County department, about fifteen years, besides being special writer on other New York journals.
His health giving out from over- work, and his physician advising outdoor employment to assist in his building-up, he accepted, on the ad- vice of his friend, Hon. W. Burke Cockran, a position of Inspector in the construction department of the New York City Department of Pub- lic Works; he was next appointed General Inspector (a position created for him) in the construction department of the Department of Parks, New York city; following this he was put in charge of con- struction in Bronx Park, to super- vise the development of the land just purchased by the city. Regain- ing his health to a considerable de- gree, he resigned to again enter journalism; he returned to the World; about the same time he was tendered a position in the Special Agents' Bureau of the United States Treasury Department. This position he accepted on condition that he be permitted to remain in New York city, that he might have opportunity to also look after his newspaper duties; he found his work in the Customs service very con- genial, but when the service called him to all parts of the country, he had to decide between Uncle Sam and his work as a journalist; as he did not propose making office-hold- ing a business, but a diversion, he decided to quit the Customs service and devote all his time to his news- N. | paper work. He was highly grati-

fied with his treatment by Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, who had appointed him; the Secretary wrote him that the Department did not de- sire to accept the resignation, that he would be given a vacation of a month or more, with pay, to recon- sider the matter; the Department had assigned Mr. Smith on a special mission to Texas, but did an unusual thing and changed the assignment to another locality, in the West, where Mr. Smith had a sister residing, be- lieving that latter consideration would influence him to remain. Mr. Smith appreciated this unusual kind- ness on the part of the Department, but felt compelled, for business rea- sons, to insist upon his resignation; and resign he did, after the termina- tion of the unasked for vacation. He then devoted all his time to his duties on the New York World.
At the suggestion of Supreme Court Justice Dykman, Hon. Chaun- cey M. Depew, Judge William H. Robertson, Surrogate Theodore H. Silkman, County Treasurer Francis M. Carpenter, Francis Larkin, Con- gressman Ben. L. Fairchild and other prominent residents of West- chester County, Mr. Smith in 1890 began the work of compiling the Civil List and history of the County; which proved most fascinat- ing labor to him, considering that he was or had been personally ac- quainted with most of the characters mentioned prominently. This work was published in book form in 1898. It is with great regret he recalls the many now dead who aided cheerfully in endeavors to bring out that book. Judge Robertson, Justice Dykman, Francis Larkin, Surrogate Silkman, Sheriffs Miller and Lane, County Register Kear and others.
In the first years of the city of New Rochelle Mr. Smith acted as an Alderman, chosen twice; he resigned as Alderman, December, 1901, to ac- cept the position of City Clerk, which latter position he held until change of political administration. He drafted the ordinances of the new city by direction of the Com- mon Council.
He came within two votes of be- ing nominated in Convention, in
1899, for the office of School Com- missioner, despite his protests, as- serting that he would not accept such nomination because of the fact that New Rochelle, his home town, after it had been made a city, would not be under the jurisdiction of said officer, and the electors of New Ro- chelle were not privileged to vote for a candidate for that position al- though a resident of that city could legally hold the office if elected. Mr. Smith maintained that the nomination should go to a locality directly affected and entitled to cast votes in electing such School Com- missioner.
In 1910 Mr. Smith was appointed, by a Supreme Court Justice, as a Commissioner in Condemnation Pro- ceedings relative to lands to be acquired by New York City, taken to increase the city's water supply.
Mr. Smith was educated in the public schools in Yonkers; entereu New York College; received a busi- ness training, studied general law and custom laws for the purpose of preparing himself for his profession as a journalist. Though many offi- cial positions were his without the asking, he was always more than willing to give them up to return to his chosen profession. It is his be- lief that as an office-holder, under obligations to men in power, one is hampered in his work as an inde- pendent editor; that he can not be independent in thought if he is in- fluenced by politicians of contrary mind.
He spent his early days in Yonkers, to which place his parents removed from New York city in 1851.
Mr. Smith was born in New York city, on August 22, 1847, a son of Thomas and Amanda (Smith ) Smith. Since an infant-in-arms, he has resided in Westchester County. Mr. Smith was married December 5, 1876, to Miss Anna J. Mapes, daughter of the late James and Rachael (Archer) Mapes of West Farms, representatives of two lead- ing families in Westchester County. Of this union there were two chil- dren, Edna Mapes Smith and Waldo Henry Smith; the latter died March 13, 1908, in his twenty-fourth year.
