CAMPAIGN BIOGRAPHIES.

Wait for the Best—-The Official ‘Lives of Cleveland and Hendricks.’ For the information of the public and the party, as text books for campaign speakers and ns work of reference tor journalists, reliable and complete campaign biographies are indispensable. The market is flooded with trash, made to sell, and the very promptness with which some of it is made ready for sale, is indisputable evidence of its worthlessness. Very different from the ways of ordinary bookmaking are those of Hubbard Bros,, the famous publishing house of Philadelphia who aunounce the carlv publication of the lives of the Democralie candidates, together with sketches of all the former presidents and much tabular information of interest and value.

He was long a fellow-citiz-u and professional associate of Mr. Cleveland in Butialo; his personal relation with the Governor and his excluded acquaintance with the scenes mid as-oeiatiom of nis earlier political experience gives Mr. Doruheimer special advantages f r the work. His scholarship and experience as a biographer, bis literary and general culture, are the best guarantee of the merits of the work. The life of Headricks, tor the Hubbard book, has been written by W. U* Hensel. Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania, cne of the editors ot the La master Daily Intelligencer and oi The Post.
