statistics cannot fail TO comprehend them.
The figures Will be given on Slate ticket and
on Congressional ticket IN separate tables, the
former by counties and tho lattor by counties
and Districts In both tables comparisons Will

The d. &. o. Red Book Is by heavy odds the
handsomest political work from n topograpi-
