Hamilton vs.. jefferson.
Scarcely had he been chosen 20 the
position OF chief executive OF the
United States. when factiOnal dissen'
sion blazed forth in his cabinet. The
leaders in the controversy were Alex.
ander Hamilton. secretary Of the treas.
ury. and Thomas jefferson. secretary
OF state. This controversy was soon
aired in the newspapers Of the day.
Hamilton was frank and o~utspoken
IN his position. Not so much can be
said OF jefferson. He employed a
translatlng clerk in his department, a
newspaper man by the name OF Ere
neau. who at one began TO lambast
Hamilton through the columns of MS
paper. The fight soon waXed so warm
that this editor occasionally fired hot
shots al Washington himself, much %

Country.
In the meantime. Hamilton. through
other papers. maintained his side OF
the controversy and Washington had
the very unpleasant duty OF smoothing
out the differences between these twc
irreconcilables and holding his cabinet
together in the face OF serious dangers
that threatened the nation from
