Smith’s advocacy of change often took the form of opposition to the imperial influence, the governor, King’s College, or Fredericton as the capital; Fisher was both registrar of King’s College and a Fredericton stalwart.
Smith presented his case with “great force and animation” and the anti-confederates in New Brunswick, with Smith the “heart and soul of the opposition,” shattered the union movement by carrying 26 of the 41 seats in the assembly.
Smith also had the misfortune to be a member of the Mackenzie cabinet, which was unable to cope with the enormity of the depression of the 1870s and has been tarred with ineptitude.

 Sherwood Smith / Thomas Paine, Scientist
The important point is that Thomas Paine, unlike most other early American government theorists, applied these skills to the art or science of government without allowing his personal interest or aggrandizement to affect the results.
Thomas Paine as far as I know never used Euler (pronounced "Oiler") diagrams, as one math book calls them, or Venn diagrams, as another math book calls them, but his basic ideas can be described, starting with Common Sense, using these logic tools.
Thomas Paine in this instance supported this proposal, as a politician working for what he well knew or thought was possible.

 Smith Coat of Arms
Although Smith appears to be an occupational name for a flsmith, it has been suggested that when surnames came into use in Scotland, several different families simply 'took on' the name whether they had been flsmiths or not.
Thus, Smith is a classic example of a polygenetic surname that was developed in a number of different locations and adopted by various families independently.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Rich Smith, who settled in Virginia in 1638; Abbigall Smith, who was granted land in Virginia in 1673; James Smith and his wife Mary, who immigrated to Boston in 1718 with their children, Abel Smith, who came to Boston in 1763.

Thomas, its founder, was an old-line Democrat, and a leading citizen and politician in Western North Carolina — was a man of considerable means, and was personally well known to President Davis and Cabinet.
But the "fighting end" of Thomas' Legion was not idle in upper East Tennessee, and marched and counter-marched in every county in that end of the State, and up to Saltville, Va., leaving the bones of their comrades (since kindly gathered at Knoxville by the noble women of Tennessee) all over that section.
Colonels Smith, Love and others, however, were on the alert and at the proper moment rose to their feet and delivered a well directed and destructive fire and sent them whirling back through the field, leaving numbers of horses and men behind them.

 The Pragmatic Populism of a Non-Partisan Politician
As a politician without political ambition, Charles Edison is a unique figure in the history of New Jersey.
Unlike the professional politicians and reformers who habitually monopolize elective and appointive office, Edison viewed public service not as a means to an end, but as an end unto itself.
Charles Edison's career in public service was predicated on the proposition that, if democracy was to survive the turbulence caused by economic depression and cataclysmic military conflict, every American had a sacred responsibility to safeguard his freedoms through active participation in the mechanics of democracy--the foundation of which is the regular exercise of the franchise.

Smith has written a good book that rightly focuses on Washington's building of our national government through careful consideration of precedent and the ability to balance factions through the force of his dignity and integrity.
Smith details how our first president was keenly aware that his organization of the government and almost every action were setting the precedents that would determine whether his successors would be preside in his spirit or in a vein more threatening to the liberties he had helped purchase during the Revolution.
Smith focuses on his precedents and the respect he commanded from all, including Jefferson and Hamilton who, without Washingtons' leadership might have destroyed each other and the country in their political intrigues.

 Article1
Thomas always tried to coordinate attacks at 2 or 3 or more different points of the enemy's position so that the enemy commander could never know which was the main thrust.
Thomas was from Virginia and had therefore renounced his political base when he elected to return south "at the head of my men" (fn6).
Thomas also surely did not approve of Grant’s improvised approach to doing battle which led to avoidable suffering and death among the troops in his own commands (fn9).

 The Right Coast
When a politician is elected -- even with a narrow majority -- on a reasonably forthright platform, or even with a general political stance that is pretty clear, that politician will have something of a mandate, and need not be unduly fearful of critics and criticism.
But a politician who is elected by deliberately misleading voters has far more to fear from critics who might point out the discrepancies, contradictions, and lies.
Thomas Oliphant (whom I can never look at without imagining him in one of those propeller beanies) was there to uphold the honor of the daily press.
