in May. 1892. is to some extent an an.
swer to some of the statements which
have been made from time to time.
When all the facts in the case are
arranged, there does not appear to be
any mystery surrounding either the
retirement of Washington or of the
authorship of the historic address.
Briefly. as the letter quoted in fac
smile indicates, Washington had de-
cided to retire from public life before
the tide Of opposition to him had set in.
and had determined to prepare what
he himself entities a valedictory ao-
dress. 1t is probable that no ques-
ton regarding the authorship of the
address would ever have arisen had
not the untimely death of Hamilton,
who was slain in the duel with Burr,
thrown his private papers into the
hands of persons who we're not ap-
prised of all the facts In the case.
They. or some friends of Hamilton.

happened upon a draft of the address
in the handwriting Of Hamilton, and
Immediately spread the intelligence
that Washington's secretary of the
treasury was the real author of the
paper #.Ig:r
Some historians, having in mind the
wave Of opposition to Washington
which arose during his first term OF
Office, and which became more bitter
during his second term, have init
mated that the retirement Of the tirs1
president was merely the act of a
man who saw that he had lost mis-
popularity and had enough common
sense not to linger where he had be-
come uncomfortable In 1892 Washing
ton still was the popular idol There
has been no disagreement on that
score among the historians, and it was
on May 20 of that year, during this
period of good will. that the Father OF
His Country decided to retire from
public life. 1t was also at this tims
