favor. That it is deserved IS eyince
by the unfagging enterprise mani
tested in its preparation and publ
= cation. The latest exhibition of
: determination to meet even tn,
most exacting demand is the issuin,
OF the Ohio election less than ,
month following the election in tina
State. Ordinarily those who ar,
prone to studying the official figure
of a political contest have to wal
for months before receiving them
in comprehensive form, and then dc
all the comparative figuring them
themselves. Here is the B.
81 o. Red Book for Ohio not
only with the election results
In every county tabulated in the
clearest manner, but comparison
with past results all figured out and
explanatory remarks which are of
the greatest interest. AS a speci.
men edition of the Red Book the
contents are worthy of note. The
Presidential vote by counties for
1876 and 1880, with majorities, losses
and gains, total vote, etc., while the
side-nOtes give summary of ali
the Presidential elections in the
State since its admittance into the
Union.
The Congressional vote of 1878
and 1880, by counties and districts.
with full details of the changes
made by the new reappointment.
The Gubernatorial vote of 1883 COM
pared with that of Secretary of |
State, majorities, gains, etc., and |
side notes covering all possible data
as regards results. Comparative
table showing Democratic vote for
Governor, for 1877 to 1873. showing
gains and an interesting study of
the Democratic vote as compared
with the vote for the prohibition
amendment. A similar comparable
table based upon the Republi.
can vote for Governor for the same
year and comparison of the vote for
the prohibition amendment with
the Republican vote for Governor.
1888. Another most interesting
table IS that devoted TO compari.
son of the vote of both parties and
the total vote of each year from
1850 to 1888, inclusive; this by
counties, and showing great care
IN computation. Full roster of the
United States Senate, Forty-eighth
Congress, and full roster Of the
House OF Representatives, Forty
eighth Congress, arranged so that
comparison can be made with tho
fuli roster Of the Forty-seventh
Congress. List of Governors of
States. expiration of term, date of
next election in each State and of
meeting of Legislature.
Certainly q very cIeverly con-
structed book to contain all this, and {
lt IS by no means a large one
either. Very handy az to size, beau
tIfully printed upon fine paper and 4,
handsome cover, the Red Book is
characteristic of all the B. & O.
is exceedingly artistic !
and attractive.
OF course, it is an advertisement.
else it would not be sent free upon !
application by letter or postal to C..
K. Lord, Baltimore; but so unObtru-
slve is the advertising matter and
so valuable the mass of information .
The book contains, that it would un-
doubtedly sell like hot cakes if put
upon the market. However, there
is no desire manifested to sell it:
all who wish, get the Red Book by
return mail even with the postage
paid upon it. The remarkably COM
plete makeup and perfectly UNI
biased presentation of results in
Ohio may be taken as conclusive
that the Red Book for the coming
presidential year, will in its different
be in great demand. Il is
understood that several new fea-
lures in connection with the in.
formation which will be so earnestly
sought after next year, are already I
in course of preparation, and those
who are down on the mailing lists
OF the b. 81 o. will certainly re-
ceive books worth keeping.
The policy of the b. & o. is to
render its advertising matter SO
valuable from the information to
which the largest portion of space
is given, that the demand for it will
much more than compensate for the
largely increased expense in the
preparation and publication. Large
sums have been offered by outside
concerns for advertising space in
the Red Book, but no money can
buy it. The publication is beyond
question the finest and most effective
issued by any railroad company, and
the B. d o. has 10 notion of de-
creasing its value.
Hardly a newspaper Office in the
country that does not keep the diff
ferent editions of the Red Book
always at hand for reference, while
to State committees and other poll
teal organizations it has become
indispensable. Praise has unstint>
ingly been bestowed upon it bJ
