HAMILTON'S HARANGUE-On July 18, 1795, a
public mass meeting was held in front of the old City
Hall, on the site of the present Sub-Treasury in New
York, to discuss the proposed Jay treaty with Great
Britain. The meeting broke up in disorder, during
which Alexander Hamilton mounted the stoop of an old
Dutch house in Broad Street and tried to quiet the mob.
His attempt was requited with violence, as he was
knocked down and dragged through the streets.
