Congressman Cable and his colleagues,
In charge of the western branch head
quarters of the democratic national COM
mit.ee yesterday secured their quarters in
Chicago. from which will be conducted
the campaign in the west on the part of
the national democracy. The Chicago
Herald of this morning says in connec-
ton with the selection of the headquar-
tiers ty Mr.. Cable aud his associate s:
1t was tired little Congressman Ben
Cable that climbed into his bed at the
Chicago club last night But it was one
who was to sleep the sleep of just man,
having the sweet consciousness of duty
well performed. He had everything
ready for the opening of the western
branch of the democratic national head
quarters, and all that was needed to
crown his la 5ors was the presence of Don
NJ. Dickinson and E G. Wall. They
will be here this morning, and today the
new headquarters IN the Unity b.ilding
will be opened. and the work of redemp-
ton begun in Illinois. Michigan, Wscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and the far Dako-
of the others to prepare the headquarters
which were to be located in his own state
because he was acquainted with Chicago.
Aud then he knew Dennis Hogan, the
mayor of Geneva. Mr.. Cable sele cted
the whole banking floor of the Unity
| building for the sub-committe
to live in while it manages
the western campaign. and he
has been since Sunday in furnishing it.
| This was another department in which
Mr.. Cable WAS perfectly qualified 10 la
hor. He has delicate and aesthetic
taste. and is probably the best dressed
| man in the national committee.
1t was not until late last night, however
that he had his work done. aud even this
morning some flashing touches will be
| necessary.
When Ben Gable went over to the
Unity building yesterday morning he
| found men and women paving all over
| the floors of the big rooms he had en-
| gagged with scrub brushes in their hands.
| He left them there and went over to the
| state central conmittee's headQ uarters in
| the Sherman house. Buck" Hinrichsen,
the democratic candidate tor secretary of
state, was there, and he was just the
man for Mr. Gable. Buck H.nrichsen
knows more practical state politics, per
bsps. than almost any other democrat in
Illinois. Mr.. Gable Immediately went into
conference with MIR. ularichsen about
the conditions in the state
In the afternoon the Congressman and
Mayor Hogan. who is on the state ex-
ecutive committee. and close to MIR. Ca
BILE. went ont to com plete the purchase OF
furniture for the headquarters. Mr.. Hin
richsen went part way with them. The
headquarters in the Unity building, while
they have marble wainscoting and cleo
trio lamps in brass filagree work. are to
be furnished sImply. MIR. Cable had pur-
chased mating for the broad floors. but
there remained desks and chairs to be OBJ
tanned. which occupied the rest of the az
terneon.
J. The national headquarters in Chicago
will be rendezvous for all the demo-
Gratis in the west. The large room on the
first floor is being furnished as general
reception room. and in it will be kept
files of the newspapers and quantity OF
tariff literature A register will be pro-
vided for visitors. The other rooms will
be used by the force of clerks in prepsr-
ing material for the country newspaper
