much Most Interesting I'm for-
nation Just now Greatly
Sought After.
Mai. Pangborn, the well-known
compiler OF the b. and o. Red Book,
which has become the standard polit.
ical text book of the country, is now
engaged with large force Of assist
ants in preparing a special edition
of the 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
1882" IA
Within the most artisically en-
grayed covers by the American Bank
Note Company will be embraced the
official results Of the election just
held, and arranged SO perfectly and
intelligcntly that the veriest amateur
in such statistics cannot fail to com
prehend them. The figures will be
given on State ticket and on Con-
gressional ticket in separate tables,
the former by counties and districts.
In both tables comparisons will be
made with the vote at the last pre-
ceding election in each State, the re-
turns of which will give in full in
order that the understanding of the
situation may he complete. In States
where the Congressional districts
have been changed since 1880, the
districts will be shown as now con-
stituted, thus demonstrating what
the result would have been two years
ago had the same counties composed
the districts then as now. 1ndepend
ent, Prohibition and Greenback fig
ures will be given in addition to the
regular Republican and Democrat,
and in each county the vote of each
party will he shown with gains and
losses, and mojorities, both years, to-
gether with total vote of county, con
gressional district and state. Sta
tistical tables will also be included
in the book, showing upon full and
comprehensive scale the vote for
President in 1875 and in 1880.
In no publication Of like character
are such clear and exhaustive tabu-
lar statements attempted as in the
B. & 0. Red Book, and the forth
coming special edition will eclipse
any previous edition in extent and
interesting character OF information
furnished. Included in the remarks
accompanying the returns will be
the details of the changes in con-
gressional districts. the congressman
elect, and the unsuccessful candi-
dates in each State, as well as the
members of the next Congress com
pete, and the changes in that body
as compared to the last Congress-
Much other data will be given, and
in the way of thorough understan
ding Of exactly How Twas Done"
it would he difficult to imagine a
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 G. X Lord,
General Passenger Agent B. & O. r.
R., Baltimore, Md.
The Red Book is as a matter OF
course an advertisement of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, but it COM
bines so much of general interest to
the public with comparatively go lit
tie about the road, that it is fal
more valuable than nine thenths the
publications Of the character placed
on sale,
The B. & O. Red Book is by heavy
odds the handsomest political work
from typographical standpoint is
sued in the United States, being al
ways printed with exquisite taste or
fine paper and bound in the bcs1
manner. 1t certainly is worth the lit
tie trouble occasioned in writing fol
it, and it is hazarding nothing tt
predict that the new special edition
to the election which has just taker
place will be e-eminently the text
book of 1882.
| AS there will doubtless be an i'm
mense demand for the book, it would
be well for all desiring copy t.
write at once to Mr.. Lord, as til,
edition will he sent out to thos,
making application on the principl,
of first come first served. Envelopes
will be addressed as applications com
in, so that there may be no delay il
mailing when the work as it is re
ccived from the binder.
