Republican Achievements

Gen. Ben. Harrison, in speaking of the
achievements of the Republican party at
Terre Haute, on Friday last, concluded
as follows: 1--WE do not claim to have
made the crops grow, but we do claim to
have restored sound currancy, and with
it that business confidence which has
found new markets for our surplus and
stirred into joyous activity every idle
wheel. We do claim to have greatly re-
duced the public debt and the annual
interest charged upon it to have wisely
cared for our home manufacturers; to
have set the public credit upon high
and safe basis to have given homes in
the West to many thousands of the in
dustrious poor; to have enfranchised A.
600, 900 of slaves, aud, best of all, to have
saved the flag, stainless and whole, from
the clutch of a Democratic rebellion"

SeasOnable Statistics.
A VERY CLEvERLY GOTTEN UP AND MOST
VALUABLE TEXT BOOK OF POLITICAL
INFORMATION, GIVING ALL ONE
WANTS TO KNOW IN A
lErOm the Chicago Times. ]

NUTSHELL.
From the Chicago Times.l
Railroad advertising is becoming more
and more an art, and no road is demon
strating it to a clearer purpose than the
Baltimore & Ohio. To combine quiet
and unobtrusive advertising of the ad-
vantages of line with information of
such value as to make one forget the
fact tnat it is an advertisement, is indeed
clever thing, and it is just this that is
accomplished by the B. 4 o. Red Book.
Various roads from time to time have
essayed the publication of political sta
tistics, but as a rule they have been the
work simply of copying. 1t has remain
ed for the B. & o. to prepare and issue
little work which, for exhaustive infor-
nation, for concise statement of results,
and for handy and instant reference, is
unequaled to-day by any Of the more
pretentious and complicated political
text books. 1t gives for each State just
what man wishes to learn at glance.
The vote of each party for President in
1876, with total vote, majority and cleo
trail vote. The vote of each party at the
latest State election, with total vote and
majority. The political complexion OF
the Legislature. Senate and House in
each State, and if U. s. Senator is to be
elected it IS SO stated. The result in ev-
cry Congressional District is set forth,
and in foot notes facts and figures are
given in such shape as to admit of a per-
feet conception of the situation in the
different districts. To wind up with the
population of the State in 1870 is shown,
and the vote for President in 1879 given,
with the ratio of the total vote to, the
population of 1870. The latest obtaina-
bic facts from the Census Bureau are
noted and an estimate made Of the prob
able vote of each State this fall. It is
evident that much time has been spent
upon the compilation and general de-
tails, and as it was the labor of former
we'll known journalist oflarge experience
in political statistics, its correctness is
beyond question. The is not the slight.
est vestige of partisan bias in the book,
figures and facts being stated without
coloring or comment. The little work
is gem geographically, being from the
press of Knight & Leonard, of this city.
The cover is an exquisite thing, the de-
sign and engraving being by the Ameri-
can Bank Note Company of New York.
Throughout it is an exceedingly elegant
and artistic book, the fine and perfect
taste displayed being certainly we'll wor-
thy Of emulation. The Red Book is not
on sale, but can be had for the mere
trouble of making the request for it to
G. X. Lord, Baltimore, Md. A postal
card or note to that gentleman will be
followed by the prompt receipt of the
book, which is beyond all comparison the
handsomest and most comprehensive po-
litical textbook of the campaign.
