The Legislature assembled at Albany, January 2, 1798. Dirck Ten Broeck, of Albany, Federalist, was elected speaker of the Assembly over William Denning, of New York, Republican. The Council of Appointment consisted of Ezra L'Hommedieu of Suf- folk, Republican, and William Thompson of Orange, Moses Vail of Rensselaer, and Dr. Joseph White of Otsego, Federalists. This was an interesting year in State politics. After an exciting cam- paign John Jay had been reelected Governor by a flattering indors- ing majority over his devoted friend of many years' standing, Chan- cellor Livingston. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Scott, Major Daniel Hale of Albany had been appointed Secre- tary of State by the Council of Appointment against the protest of Governor Jay, who had successively nominated several persons who were as successively rejected by the Council. Robert M'Clal- len of Albany, who five years later was discovered to be a defaulter to the State to the amount of $33,000, was appointed State Treasurer.
