OUR NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.
Where the Republican Campaign Managers Will Lay Out the Work.
Within a radius of four blocks around Madison square, New York city, the greatest political battle in the history of this country will be directed. While the Democrats may not claim New York as the actual battle ground, it is here that the generals of the two great political armies will do their planning, and those engaged in the contest in Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut will have to go to New York for instructions and inspiration. As New York is the distributing station of the country in finance, literature, art and general commerce, so will it be the station for the distribution of the sinews of war and army supplies generally in this as it has been in the past campaigns of recent years.
The leaders of both the contesting forces will be favored with comfortable quarters. The Republicans will combine luxury with utility. They have leased an elegant and luxuriously furnished club house in West Twenty-fifth street until November, and is rapidly getting the campaign machinery into running order. It was at first intended to have the New York state and county committees also occupy parts of the building, but the national committee desired to be alone, and so the other committees will occupy the same quarters as in 1884 in the Fifth Avenue hotel. The national committee will have plenty of room and everything necessary for work, comfort and luxury, as the building is completely furnished, and everything is included in the lease. It will be the Mecca of politicians from every state and territory during the summer and fall.
