ALEXANDER STEWART (Rep.) was born September 12, 1829, in York county, Province 
of New Brunswick, and received a common school education at that place. In 1849 
he removed to what is now Marathon county, and settled where the city of Wausau 
is now located, engaging in the lumber business, which occupation he has ever 
since followed. Aside from his selection as a delegate from his district to the 
National republican convention at Chicago in 1884, he has neither aspired to 
nor held public office of any description. He was elected to the Fifty-fourth 
Congress in 1894, receiving 22,741 votes, against 14,910 for Thomas Lynch, 
democrat; 2,187 for John F. Miles, people’s, and 785 for John J. Sherman, 
prohibitionist. In 1896 he was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress, receiving 
30,438 votes, against 17,705 for William W. O’Keefe, democrat.
