An Admirable Little Work which Gives

now Greatly Sought After.
Maj. Pangborn, the well-known compiler of
the B. ard o. Red Book, which has become the
standard political textbook of the country, is
now engaged with large force of assistants in
preparing special edition of the Red Book,
which spromises to be quite unique thing in
political literature. It is to be issued under the
taking title of IS How'Twas Done: The Political
Revolution of 1882"
Within the most artistieaily engraved covers
by the American Bank Note Company will be
embraced the official results of the election just
held, and arranged SO perfectly and inteIligently
that the yeriest amateur in such statistics can
not fail to comprehend them. The figures will
be given on State ticket and on Congressional
ticket in separate tables, the former by counties
and the latter by counties and districts. In
both tables comparisons viii 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 VIII ere the Con-
gressional districts have been changed since
1890, the districts will be shown as; now consti-
tuted, thus demonstrating what the result
would have been two years ago had the came
counties composed the districts then now.
Independent, Prohibition and Greenback figures
will be given in addition to the regular Repub-
liean and Democrat, ard In each county the
vote of each party will be shown with MAORI
ties. gains and losses, both years together with
total vote of county, congressional district and
State. Statistical tables will also be incl1ded
| in the book, showing upon similar full and
comprehensive scale the vote for President in
1915 and in 1880.
In no publications of like character are such
clear and exhaustive tabular statements at
tempted as in the B. and O. Red Book. and the
forthcoming special edition will eclipse any
previous edition in extent and interesting char
actel of information furnished. Included with
in fhe remarks accompanying the returns will
be the details IF the changes in congressional
districts, the congressmen-elect, and the un-
successful candidates in each State, as we'll as
the members 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 thorough UNDER
standing 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. and o. Red Book
Like its predecessor, it will be sent without any
cost whatever to all who make application for
it to C. X. Lord. General Passenger Agent B. 4

TheeRed Book is as matter of course an
advertisement of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, but it combines much of general in-
terest to the public with comparatively SO little
about the road, that it is far more valuable than
nine-tenths the publications Of the character
placed on sale.
The B. and o. Red Book is by heavy odds the
handsomest political work from Topographic
cal 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 occaaioned
in writing for it, and it is hazarding nothing to
predict that the new special edition devoted to
the election which has just taken place will be
pre-emlnently the textbook of 1882.
As there will doubtless be an immense de-
mand 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 appli-
cations come in, SO that there may be no delay
in mailing when the work is received from the |
binder.
