ing and at the same time elegant advertising
matter. Recognizing the elevation of taste in
matters OF an advertising character and the
demand us we'll for something of more value
than the mere setting forth Of the advantages
of the road, tho b. & o. has lust issued what
1t terms the "RedBoolS" IL Is beyond all
comparison the clevercst thing Of the kind
ever Issued by railroad company and not
only this, but as specimen Typographical art
1t is perfect gem. The cover, designed and
engraved by the American Bank note Com.
pany, and the book itself from the press Of
Knight & Leonard very many persons will keep
II for its beauty alone. But while the artistic
has been the aim In tho external
appearance, tho contents of tho little
work will be found of the utmost value from
now until the close Of the present political
struggle. Without pretontions, and simply
setting forth facts, the b. & o. Rcd-Bo is
ncomparably the hsndicst aud most compact
political Textbook of the campaign. Com.
piled, results reached and arranged by an old
journalist Of many years experience in politi-
cal statistics tho states are so placed aud the
details so carefully attended to that at a
glance one comprohcnd3 the situation In each
state. First, the vote Of each party for prtsi-
dent in 1876 IS given, with the total vote Of
the state, the majority and the electoral vote.
Noxt come the details of the latest election for
state officers, followed by the political COM
pexion of the legislature, with the fact noled
that United States senator Is to
be elected this winter, If such be the
case. Then comes the result in each con-
gressional district, with foot.notes so cloar
aud concise that the situation in tho different
districts Is at once apparent Finally, the
population of the state in 1870 is noted, fol-
lowed by the vote for president in 1872, with
the ratio of votes that year to the population
of two years before. This is made the basis
Of u calculation of the total vote of each state
this year, the figures given Of the population
in les0 being from the latest obtuinable iu-
formation from the census bureau. As these
statistics cover every state in the union, aud
the book is so indexod as to permit of Instant
reference, the great value of the little work
may readily be appreciated. 1t is not on sale,
nor will it be distributed without regard to
use All wishing u copy have but to drop
note or postal to c. K. Lord Baltimore, Nd,
aud 1t will be promptly mailed TO the address

Mr. Ball, from the committee on work Of tho

mittee had received lot OF work on Friday,
and that he would be glad of more assistance

Suggestions were made rs to the best way Of
utilizing the volunteers who had offered their

qucsting that two from each club be detailed
each day TO aid In the work.
A letter was received from Fairfax Court.

Fairfax Courthouse Hancock club.
1t was moved that roster OF volunteer as.
sistants be hereafter kept in book and not on
slip of paper, The motion was carried.
Mr. Gardner, tho secretary, who has also

said there was great deal of feeling existing
in the ranks Of the different democratic clubs
Of the District in regard to representation
upon the central committee. He thought that
their claim to representation on this committee
was well founded, They had presented this
claim both rightfully aud modestly. II was
democratic doctrine. that of representation
Ho therefore suggested the appointment Of
a committee on the part Of the central com.
miitec TO meet similar committees Of the
clubs with Wow ofgiviug representation to
