SMITH, John Sabine:
Lawyer; born Randolph, Vermont, April 24, 1843. He was forced to gain an education largely through his own efforts, his father having the sparse in- come of a country physician. He worked during the summer and attended the Orange County grammar school during the winter season, entering Trinity Col- lege at sixteen. Through college he was obliged to work his own way, partly by teaching, and to some extent on bor- rowed money. He persisted, however, and was graduated with first honors at twenty years of age. He then took charge of a select school at Troy, N. Y., saving enough during his four years there to repay his borrowed money, and studying
year in the Harrington school at Throgg's Neck, during which time, in 1868, he was admitted to the Bar. In the following year he settled in the City of N. Y., where he became assistant in the office of William E. Curtis, afterwards chief-justice of the Superior Court. He soon began to prac- tice and acquired a lucrative business ; he has been connected with the Republi- can Club of the City of N. Y. for many years. He has been actively identified with its work and management since 1886, and largely instrumental in direct- ing its political activities, holding,
through his connection with it, the posi- tion of a leader of his party. He took
a prominent part in the formation of the Republican League of the U. S., consti- tuted the special committee in charge of the organization of Pennsylvania, and was active in the first national conven- tion of Republican clubs, held in New York, in 1887. In 1888, he was made chairman of the sub-executive committee of the State League, and was practically the manager of the League during the Harrison Presidential campaign. In the same year was elected one of the exe- cutive committee of the Republican Club of N. Y. City and acting chairman of its campaign committee. In 1889, he became chairman of the Committee on Municipal Elections, which under his leadership made the famous fight for a straight Republican ticket in the 1890 election campaign. The committee brought out the name of Hon. William L. Strong as candidate for mayor, and Mr. Smith vig- orously urged his nomination. In 1891 he was chairman of the Committee of Fifty organized to aid the election of J. Sloat Fassett as governor, in which cause the Republican Club made strenuous efforts, holding five great mass-meetings. In
1892 he was again made chairman of the campaign committee of the club, which now raised a fund of $15,000, and made a most vigorous canvass, carrying on the work throughout the summer and fall. Having served for three years as vice- president of the club, he was elected its president in 1893. During his term he greatly recruited the club membership. He was nominated for surrogate in 1892, and received a larger vote than any other straight Republican candidate ever before named in this city on a national, State, or municipal ticket. In 1893 he was president of the Republican County Com- mittee of New York, and was afterwards
