Candidates Who Are Seeking the
Votes Of the People
For the Highest Honor in the Gift Of
the American Republic.
Porhaitures With Short Sketches Of the Lives
Of the Nominees

The Record Union presents to the
people to-day the portraits, With a short
biography, of the candidates for Pres
dent, President, wives of candi-
dates and the managers who are con-
Quoting the campaign.
Portraiture plays its part in all po-
litical campaigns more or less. 1t has
TO special significance, however, fur
ther than to satisfy natural desire to
know what is the appearance of the
countenances of those who aspire to pO-
sitions of trust and seek the suffrages
OF their fellow citizens.
1t is possible that they may aid
some people in forming judgments,
since it is a saying that the face is an
index to the soul. However, that can
scarcely be advised as a standard in
estimating the fitness of one for the
Presidential office, since a portrait,
however we'll executed, cannot satisfy
the thoughtful voter as to the ability of
the candidate to discharge the high
trust that may be committed to him.
However, for whatever value or in
terest there may be in the grouping of
the faces of candidates. the Record
Union this morning presents the cuts
representative of the several candidates
fer the Presidency and the Vice-Presi-
dency, and the portraits of the wives of
these men, also the portraits of three of
the men who are managing the cam
paign, now SO prominently in the public
thought
In addition the Record re-
publishes the platforms of the RepubG-
can and Democratic parties.
