**Hamilton Fish II** (April 17, 1849 – January 15, 1936) was an American lawyer and politician who served as [Speaker of the New York State Assembly](/source/Speaker_of_the_New_York_State_Assembly) and a member of the [United States House of Representatives](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives).[1]

## Early life

Fish was born in [Albany, New York](/source/Albany%2C_New_York), on April 17, 1849, while his father was serving as [Governor of New York](/source/Governor_of_New_York).[2] Fish was the son of Julia Ursin Niemcewicz Kean (1816–1887)[3] and [Hamilton Fish](/source/Hamilton_Fish) (1808–1893).[4] He graduated from [Columbia College of Columbia University](/source/Columbia_College_of_Columbia_University) in 1869 and was a member of [St. Anthony Hall](/source/St._Anthony_Hall).[5] He also received a [Master of Arts](/source/Master_of_Arts) degree from Columbia.[6][7]

His paternal grandparents were Elizabeth ([née](/source/N%C3%A9e) Stuyvesant) Fish and [Nicholas Fish](/source/Nicholas_Fish) (1758–1833), a leading [Federalist](/source/Federalist_party_(United_States)) politician and notable figure of the [American Revolutionary War](/source/American_Revolutionary_War),[4] who named his father after their friend [Alexander Hamilton](/source/Alexander_Hamilton).[8][2] In 1903, he succeeded his brother [Nicholas Fish II](/source/Nicholas_Fish_II) as a hereditary member of the [Society of the Cincinnati](/source/Society_of_the_Cincinnati).[2]

## Career

After graduating from Columbia, he served as private secretary to his father for two years.[2] He then returned to Columbia and attended [Columbia Law School](/source/Columbia_Law_School), graduating in 1873.[9] From 1873 to 1874 he was [aide-de-camp](/source/Aide-de-camp) to Governor [John Adams Dix](/source/John_Adams_Dix) with the rank of [colonel](/source/Colonel_(United_States)).[10]

He was elected to twelve terms as a member of the [New York State Assembly](/source/New_York_State_Assembly),[2] representing [Putnam County](/source/Putnam_County%2C_New_York), in [1874](/source/97th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1876](/source/99th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1877](/source/100th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1878](/source/101st_New_York_State_Legislature), [1879](/source/102nd_New_York_State_Legislature), [1889](/source/112th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1890](/source/113th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1891](/source/114th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1893](/source/116th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1894](/source/117th_New_York_State_Legislature), [1895](/source/118th_New_York_State_Legislature) and [1896](/source/119th_New_York_State_Legislature). He was the Republican leader in 1890 and [Speaker](/source/Speaker_of_the_New_York_State_Assembly) in 1895 and 1896.[1]

He was selected in 1903 to serve as assistant [treasurer of the United States](/source/Treasurer_of_the_United_States) in charge of the [Wall Street](/source/Wall_Street) sub-treasury in the administration of [Theodore Roosevelt](/source/Theodore_Roosevelt). Roosevelt's first choice, [Robert Bacon](/source/Robert_Bacon), declined the position. He withdrew his second choice, William Plimley, after objections from several senators and New York bank presidents to the appointment of a political aide who had no relevant experience. Roosevelt then nominated Fish, who was promptly confirmed.[11] He resigned from the Treasury in 1908 to run for the [United States House of Representatives](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives) against [Andrew C. Zabriskie](/source/Andrew_C._Zabriskie).[2] He defeated Zabriskie and was elected to represent New York's [21st district](/source/New_York's_21st_congressional_district) and served for a single term from March 4, 1909, until March 3, 1911. He was defeated for reelection.[1]

For many years Fish was considered to be one of the top Republican bosses in the [State of New York](/source/State_of_New_York), controlling [Putnam County](/source/Putnam_County%2C_New_York).[1]
