The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1882-11-16

Maj. Pangborn. the well-known COM
piler of the B. and O. Red Book. which
has become the standard political text
book of the country, is now engaged
with large force of assistants in pre-
pairing special edition of the Red
Book, which promises to be quite
unique thing in political literature. 1t
is to be issued under the taking title of
How Twas Done: The Political Rev.
olution of 1882"
Within the most artisticslly engraved
covers by the American Bank Note
Company will be embraced the official
results of the election just held, and ar
ranged so perfectly and intelligently
that the veriest amateur in such statis-
tics cannot fail to comprehend them.
The figures will be given on State tick
ct and on Congressional ticket in sepa-
rate tables, the former BY counties and
the latter by counties and districts. In
both tables comparisons will be made
with the vote at the last preceding elec-
ticn 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 Con-
gressional 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 COM
posed the districts then as now. Inde-
pendent, Prohibition and Greenback
figures will be given in addition to the
regular Republican and Democrat, and
in each county the vote of each party
will be shown with majorities. gains
and losses. both years. together with to-
tai vote Of county, congressional dis
trict 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.
In no publication of like character
are such clear and exhaustive tabular
statements attempted as in the B. & o.
Red Book, and the forthcoming special
edition will eclipse any previous edition
in extent and interesting character of
information furnished. Included with
in the remarks accompanying the re-
turns will be the details of the changes
in congressional districts, the congress
| men-elect, and the unsuccessful candi-
dates in each State, as we'll as the mem
bers of the next Congress complete. and
the changes in that body as compared
/ to the last Congress. Much other data
| will be given, and in the way of a thor
ough understanding of exactly "How
Twas Done" it would be difficult to
imagine more interesting and reliable
source of explanation than will be this
new edition of the B. & 0. Red Book.
Like its predecessor, it will be sent
/ without any cost whatever to all who
make application for it to c.. K. Lord,
General Passenger Agent, B. & O. R.
R.. Baltimore, Md.
TIE Red Book is as matter of course
an advertisement Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, but it combines so much
of general interest to the public with
com paratiyely so little about the road,
that it is far more valuable than nine
tenths the publications of the character
placed on sale.
The B. & D. Red Book is by heavy
odds the handsomest political work
from typographical standpoint issued
in the United States, being always print
ed with exquisite taste on fine paper and
bound in the best manner, It certainly
is worth the little trouble occasioned in
writing for it, and it is hazarding no.
thing to predict that the new special
edition devoted to the election which
has just taken place will be pre-emi-
nentlY the textbook of 1882.
AS there will doubtless be an i'm
mense demand for the book, it would
be well for all desiring copy to write
at once to Mr.. Lord, as the edition will
be sent out to those making application
on the principal Of first come first served.
Envelopes will be ADDRESSED as applica-
tions come in, 80 that there may be no
delay in mailing when the work is re-
ceived from the binder.
