not think that any succeeding Presi-

ing the bitter, indicative and vicious
abuse that was heaped upon Wash.

Never has history repeated the.
wild scenes of excitement and tumult
which prevailed all yer the country
in 1898, because Washington desired
to maintain a neutaal position be-

revolution in the government, and
even John Adams had"to fortify his
house to protect his life.
So bitter had the persecution of
the administration become, SO per-
s~istently was it abused and vilifed,
that when Washington sought to re-
organize his cabinet, after the retire
ment of jefferson and Hamilton, he
could find no man of prominence
willing to accept a position in the
cabinet. Mr.. Randolph for a short
time discharged the duties of Secre-
