Maj. Pangborn. the we'll known compiler
Of the B. 4 o. Red Book, which has become
the standard political text book OF the coun-
try, is now engaged with large force of as
sistants, in preparing special edition Of the
Red Book, which promises to be quite a
unique thing in political literature. It is TO
be issued under the taking title of How
Twas Done: The Political Revolution of
lss2''
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-
fectIy and intelligently that the yeriest am
atuer 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 latter 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 understand
ing 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 demon
strating what the result would have been
two years ago had the same counties COM /
posed the districts then as now. Independ /
ent, Prohibition and Greenback figures will
be given in addition to the regular Repabii-
can and Democrat, and in each county the
vote of each party will be shown with ma
jorities, gains and losses, both years, togeGh- /
er with total vote of county, congressional /
'district and State. Statistical tables will
also be included in the book, showing upon
similar fall and comprehensive scale the /
vote for President in 1876 and in lSS0.
III no publication of like character are
such clear and exhaustive tabular state
ments 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 furnish
ed. Included within the remarks accom-
panying the returns will be the details of
the changes in Congressional districts, the
Congressman elect, and the successful can
didates in each State, as well as the men,
bers of the next Congress complete, and the
changes in that body as compared to the last
I Congress. Much other data will be given,
and in the way of thorough understand
ing of exactly How Twas Done il would
be difficult TO imagine more interesting
and reliable source of explanation than
will be this new edition of the B. Il o. Red
Book. Like its predecessor. il will be sent
without any cost whatever to all who make
application for it to c. X. Lord, General !

The Red Book is rs matter of course an /
advertisement of the Baltimore & Ohio /
Railroad, but 1t combines so much of gen
eral interest to the public with compare
lively so little about the road. that it is far
more valuable than nine-tenths the publ
cations of the character placed on sale.
The b. & o Red Book is by heavy odds
the handsomest political work from typo
graphical standpoint issued in the United
States, being always prlnted Win exquisite
taste on fine paper aud bound in the best
manner. 1t certainly is worth the little
trouble occasiOned in writing tor it, and it
is hazarding nothing to predict that the new
special edition devoted to the election which
has just takcl place will be pre-eminently
the text book Of IsS2.
As there will doubtless be an immense
demand for the book, it would be well for
all desiring copy 10 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 ad-
dressed as applications come in, so that there
may be no delay in mailing when the work
is received from the binder
