HOW TWAS DONE.

An Admirable Little Work which DEM
onsarates Very Much Most Interesting
Information Just Now Greatly Sought
After.
Mai. Pangborn, the well known compiler
Of the b. and o. Red Book, which has be-
come the standard political text book of the
county, is now engaged with large force
OF assistants in preparing special edition
OF tho Red Book, which promises to be
quite a unique thing In political literature.
1t is to be issued under the taking title of
"How Twas Done, The Political Revolution
of 1852"
Within the most artistically engraved
covers by the American Bank Note Com
pany will be embraced the official results Of
the election just held, and arranged so per-
fectly and intellgently that the veriest anna
teur in such statistics cannot fail to COM
prehend them. The figures will be given on
State ticket and on Congressional ticket In
separate tables, the former by counties and
the LITTER by counties and districts. In both
tables comparisons will be made with the
vote At the last preceding election In each
State the returns of which will be given In
full in order that the understanding of
the situation may be complete. In
States where the Congressional districts
have been changed since 1880, the districts
will be shown as now constituted, thus
demonstrating what the result would have
been two years ago had the same counties
composed the districts then as nov. indie
pendent, Prohibition and Greenback figures
will be giren in addition to the regular Re
publican and Democrat, and in each county
the vote of each party will be shown with
majorities, gains and losses, both years, to-
gethtr with total vote of county, congress
sional district and State. Statistical tables
will also be included In the book, showing
upon similar full and comprehensive scale
the vote for President in 1876 and in 1880.
limo publication of like character are
such clear and exhaustive tabular state
ments attempted as In the d. u o. Red
Book, and the forthcoming special edition
will eclipse any previous edition in extent
and interesting character of information
furnished. Included within the remarks
accompanying the returns will be the details
of the changes in Congressional districts,
the Congressman-elcct,a and the unsuceess-
fnl candidates In each State, as well as the
members of the next Congress complete, and
the changes In that body as compared to the
las. Congress. Much other data will be
given, and In the way of a thorough under
standing of exactly "How Twas Done" it
would be difficult to imagine more inter
esting and reliable o source of explanation

Red Book. Like Its predecessor, 1t will be
sent without any cost whatever to all who
make application for it to G. K. Lord, Gen
eral Passenger Agent b. & o. r. r., Balti-
more, Nd.
The Red Book is as matter Of course an
advertisement of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, but it combines so much of gen
eral interest to the public with compare
lively SO little about the road, that 1t is far
more valuable than nine-tenths the publica-
tions of the character placed on sale.
The B. s. o. Red Book is by heavy odds
the handsomcst political work from typo
graphical standpoint issued in the United
States, being always printed with exquisite
taste on fine paper and bound in the best
manner. 1t certainly is worth the little
trouble occasioned in writing for 1t, and IL
is hazarding nothing to predict that the
new special edition devoted to the election
which has just taken place will be pre-
| emInently the text book Of 1882.
AS there will doubtless be an immense
demand for the book, it would be well Tor
all desiring copy to write at once to Mr..
Lord. as the edition will be sent out to those
making application on the principle OF hrst
come first served. Envelopes will be ad-
dressed as applications come in, SO that
there may be no delay in mailing when inc
work is received from the binder.
