OHIO AND ALL.
The Opinion of an Old and Ex- perienced Political Editor Ba:lked Up by President. Ca
 binet and Governors.

manifested in it's preparation ant
 publication The latest exhibition
 of a determination to meet even the
 most exacting demand is the issuing
 of the Ohio election less than 6
 month following the election in that
 State. Ordinarily those who are
 prone to studying the officlal figures
 of political contest have to wait
 for months before receiving them in
 comprehensive form, and then do
 all the comparative figuring them
 selves. Here is the B. 6 O. Red
 Book te1 Ohio not only with the
 election results Tn every county ta>
 bulated in the clearest manner, but
 comparison with past results all fig
 ured out and explanatory remarks
 which are of the greatest interest.
 As a specimen edition of the Red
 Book the contests are worthy of
 note. The Preside ntial vote by
 counties for 1876 and 1880, with
 majorities, losses and gains, total
 vote, etc., while the side-notes give
 summary of all the Presidential
 elections in the State since its ad-
 mittance 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 compared with that of Secretary of State 1882, majorities, gains, etc and slde-notes covering all possible data as regards results. Compara> tive table showing Democratic vote for Governor, for 1877 to 1883, show> ing the gains and an interesting study of the Democratic vote as compared with the vote for the pro hibition amendment. A similar comparable table based upon the Republican vote for Governor for the same year and comparison of the vote for the prohib ition amendment with the Republican vote for Gov ernor, 1883. Another most inter esting table is that devoted to a comparison of the vote of both par> ties and the total vote each year from 1880 to 1883, inclusive this by counties and showing gre at care in computation. Full roster of the United States Senate, Forty Eighth Congress, and full roster of the House of Representatives, Fortys Eighth Congress, arranged so that comparison can be made with the full 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 6 very cleverly constuct> l ed book to contain all this, and it is by no means a large one either. Very handy as to size, beautifully | printed upon fine paper and hand~ some cover, the Red book as char acteristic of all the B. &. O. pub> licatlons, exceedingly artistic and | attractive.
 Of course it is au Advertisement, else it would not be sent free upon application by letter or possal to c. K. Lord, Baltimore, but so unObtrus- i've is the advertising matter and so valuable the mss 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 re- turn mail even with the postage paid upon it. The remarkably compl etc make up and perfectly unbiased of the results in Ohio may be taken as conclusive that the Red Book for the coming presiden- .ial year, will in it's different ed1- ions, be in great demand. It is that several new features n connection with the information which will be So earnestly sought after next year, are already in course of preparation, and those who are town on the mailing lists of the B, S o. will certainly receive books worth keeping.
 The policy of the B. 6 o. is to .ender it's advertising matter so va l. 1able from the information to which he largest portion of space is given hat the demand for it will muc nore than compensate for the lar yely increased expense in the pre- oaration and publication. Large 'ums have been offered by outside concerns for advertising space in the Red Book, but no money can buy it. The publication is beyond question he finest and most effective issued oy any railroad company, and the B. 6 O. has no notion of decreasing its value.
 Hardly a newspaper office in the country that does not keep the diff ferent editions of the Red Book always at that hand for reference, while to State Committees aud other political organizations it has be- come indispensable. Praise has unstintedly been bestowed upon it by Presidents and candidates for the presidency, Cabinet officers, Cow ernors and other high diguitaries, and it is indeed the popular political textbook of the day.
