A Few Reasons Why the Augusta, Maine
Edition VIII Outsen All Others
Ten to One,

Ist. Because il is the authentic edition Published
from Augusta, the home Of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge OF his
whole life.
/ 3D. Because Mr.. Blaine and his friends co.operat.
ed with the author and publishers in order that II
work might be most complete and correct in all
particulars.
Sd Because Col ConwelI is better fitted for writ
! ing such volume than any other man in America
/ all his earnestness knowledge, and ability will be
| found in the volume.
4th. B, cause in its manufacture it i. the largest,
| best and handsomest book ever published Tor the
price that il is sold for. Let no one think of work.
ing for any other edition; DO for dollar
what you can just well receive $1,000 for YOU can
| sell ten books of the Augusta edition where You
would hardly sell one of any other.
18th. Because volume is pictorial biography.
and illustrates the most interesting scenes in the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life OF the distinguished statesman and is
familiar with the career of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
MIN them this is an intensely interesting portion Of
the volume.

A VERY CONSERVATIVE But SAFR MAN
on political questions. and was much struck
with his cautiousness and candor, and sagac-
ity besides | could not repeat all that was
said, but can give in substance, his ideas OF
the campaign, in which he is TO take leading
part. He began by saving that Maine gu ghf
TO, and probably would look out. mostly, Tor
herself this wear, with her fayOrite IN the
field. He estimates no maJorlties there, al
though he has been 10 the State. but gives II as
his opinion that the majority for the republican
ticket will be sufficiently decisive IN Septem-
Der, and more so in November. Many, he
saws. will vote for Governor according 10
their party bias. who will vote straight tor
Blaine in November. Massachusetts he does
not now regard doubtful. especially since
Butler has announced his intention TO run on
his various platforms; 10000 pluralItF IS
about his estimate for the republicans in that
State; Buffers vote being estimated from
=. 900 % 10000 in the STATE. Connecticut
he thinks will be close but sure. as II most
generally is in Presidential elections. As TO
New York he is remarkably confident, and
has no hesitancv in saying that since Buffers
announcement, that State is sure for the re-
publicans. Regarding New Jersey he is
silent for the good reason that he had not
posted himself thoroughly as 10 her present
political status He SAYS the prospect IN
West Virginia is exceedingly encouraging
