"Mr. Blair was poor--destIufe Of means-but
was furnished with funds by the friends of Gen.
Jackson, about the time rupture with Mr.. Cal
houn was anticipated. He established paper,
which was patronzed by the friends Of the Ad-
mlnistration and became its organ. Through
the influence Of the fostering arm Of General
Jackson, that supported it, the paper obtained a
great and extensive Influence, as well as large
circulation. Through the same influence, other
favors were showered down upon this individu-
al. The profits of printing for the Departments
rolled into his lap, and finally, those of printing
for Congress took the same direction. He rose
rapidly from state of AFFECT poverty to one OF
affiuence. Like most persons suddenly eleva-
ted he could not Withstand the great and sud- |
den change that had been wrought in his pecu-
MARY condition. This individual became
naughty, arrogant, dictatoral. He forgot
that all the good fortune he had experienced was
not owing to any merits of his own, but TO the
friendship and influence Of patrons.
From the time he located himself in Wash
on the Peoples Treasury. He has been fauen-
ing on the hard earnings of the People. He |
has been enriching himself at the expense of the
sweat of their brow. The People will hardly
credit me when | tell them the enormous sums
which he has taken from those, which have
gone from their pockets into the pubic treasury.
They will stare in amazement when | tell
them the items and give them the aggregate
amount. Here give both, taken from official
documents, the accuracy of which, the recipient
will moi venture to question:
Between September, 1891 and 1899, be
received for printing S46,979
Between September, 1888 and 1885, he
received for printing 40,703
Between September, 1885 and 1887 he
received for printing l26, 1863
Between September, 1897 and 1899, he
received for printing 30,364
Between September, 1899 and l84l, be
received for printing 197,i06
And, on the 25th May, 1912, he received
for one job, in one payment, the sum Of 1896
Making a total of 1918 1897
