Hamilton’s successor at Treasury was not “Gallatin,” as the puzzle implies (3 Across), but Oliver Wolcott, Jr. Hamilton resigned in early 1795 and Wolcott, his deputy, was appointed by Washington yo head the department . Albert Gallatin was Jefferson’s Treasury secretary, starting in 1801.

You are correct, Mr. Newton was kind enough to point that out as well. It should say – a successor.
