Hamilton Fish. who died at Garri-

New York city, August 8. 1903. the son
of Col Nicholas Fish, distinguished
officer of the revolutionary army,
whose wife, Miss Stuyvesant, was a
descendant of the Dutch colonial gov
ernor of New Amsterdam. Col. Fish
had been in military life and politics
the associate and intimate friend OF
Alexander Hamilton, whose brilliant
career was ended by the duel with
Hamilton Fish was bestowed as per-
sonal tribute. During the years from
1906 to 1917 Col. Fish was an alderman
of New York city and among its most
active and influential public men; and
the son, graduating at Columbia col
lege in 1927, and entering upon the
practice of law in 1880. was most fortu-
nate in all his surroundings of family
and friends.
The traditions inherited from his
father were those of a federalist in
politics, such as Alexander Hamilton
was; and Hamilton Fish therefore nat
urally found himself in the whig
ranks with the earliest formation Of
that party. In 1884 he was a candidate
for the state assembly, and In 1912
was elected to congress in city
district, serving one term in the
house. In 1S46 he was the whig
candidate for, lieutenant COVER

1851 he was elected United States SEN

in 1S49), and before his term expired
he found himself with Seward and
others in the newly-organizcd repub-
lican ranks. During his term in the
senate Mr.. Fish opposed the repeal of
the Missouri compromise; and after
his senatorial term expired, in 1851, he
