Xlie Presidential Candidates. — 



Among the many interesting publications 

 brought out by the campaign, " The Presi- 

 dential Candidates " is one of the best. It 

 is of the size and style ot Hdrper's Weekly. 

 It contains portraits and sketches of all the 

 twelve candidates, and the portraits of Mrs. 

 Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Morton and 

 Mrs. Thurman. The large pictures of Mr. 

 Cleveland and Mr. Harrison are very strik- 

 ing, and the best we have seen. The many 

 sketches of the lives are exceedingly inter- 

 esting. While all the portraits are ot great 

 interest, those of Belva Lockwood, the Suf- 

 fragist Candidate, and that of Mrs. Thur- 

 man, will attract unusual attention. Alto- 

 gether this is a very valuable publication at 

 this time. It is sold by the newsdealers, or 

 sent by J. A. & R. A. Reid, of Providence, 

 K. I., for 10 cents.
