The first public printer was John d.
Defrees, OF Indiana. who was appointed
early in ls6I by President Abraham
Lincoln. lie held the Office until
August u. 1850. when he was removed
by President Andrew johnson, an6
Cornelius Wendell was appointed. but
MS tenure of Office was very brief. The
congress was at that time in contro-
versy with President johnson. and in
the winter following the congress
changed the method of appointments
and on March ]. 1869. Mr.. Defrees was
restored to Office by the senate under
the title of congressional printer.
On April u. ls69. \. VI. CIapp. of New
York. was appointed and held the po-
sition until June l. 1871, when John d.
Defrees was appointed by President
Hayes During his second term Of
Office Mr.. Defrees did a great deal of
work in the matter of organization,
and he held his position until April IA.

appointed by President Arthur.
President Cleveland appointed
Thomas Z. Benedict. of New York. ON
April -. 1ss6, and President Harrison
appointed Frank W. Palmer, of Chica-
go, to succeed him. On May 7, 1894.
Mr.. Benedict again became public
printer, and held that position until
he was succeeded at the beginning of
the Mckinley administration by the
appointment of Frank W. Palmer. who
now holds that position.
The original building erected for the
use of the public printer in 1856 was
purchased by the government in 1860.
