Of the 3. and o. Red Book, which has become
the standard political text book of the coun

the Red Book, which promises TO be quite ;
unique thing in political literature. 1t is tc
be Issued under the taking title of Hoil
'Iicos Done: The Political Revolution Of 1882
Within the most artistieally engraved
covers by the American Bank Note Company
will be embraced the official results of the
election Just held, and arrang I'd so perfectly
and intelligently that the veriest amateur in
such statistics cannot 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 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 understanding
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 demonstrate
ing what the result would have been two
years ago had the same counties composed
the district then as now. Independent, Pro-
hibition and GreenbacS 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 msjorities,
gains and losses, both years, together with
total vote of county, congressional district
and State. Statistical tables will also be in
cluded in the book, showing upon similar
full and comprehensive scale the vote for
president in 1876 and 1880.

such clear and exhaustive tabular statements

The Red Book is as matter of course an
advertisement of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, Dut IL combines 30 uuCu VI ScucI al
interest to the public with comparatively
so little about the road, that it is far more
valuable than nine-tentbs the publications
of the character placed on sale.
The B. and o. Red BooE is by heavy odds
the handsomest political work from typo
graphical 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 occasioned 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-eminentlY
the textbook of 1882.
As there will doubtless be an immense
demand for this book, it would be we'll 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

be no delay in mailing when the work lie
received from the binder.
