LIVELY HEADQUARTERS.
Campaign Headquarters have been opened by Mr.
Mitchell at No los Park Row whence the Tam

blown for them return to work Even when he
anolocized for keeping them long they said they
wanted 10 hear more. He has arranged to speak 10
the employees of various establishments in their
dinner hour every day this week As far as can be
learned by talking with the residents Of the dis
1rict there is great revulsion Of feeling among
working people who have before been Democrats
The vote in this part of the city will show a big
Republican Increase if only enough educational
work is done among the laborng classes.
In addressing employees Of the Public Works De
nartroent Mr. Mitchell has called attention to the
fact that IT is much better 10 have steady employ
ment under honest government twelve months IN
the year than to have good pay from Tdmmany
Hall one month before election. Many of his hear
ers knew by experience that TanHany used ms
device n get their votes each year. Nh Mitchell
finds that the assemblies which gather 10 hear him
appreciate difference between having the bust
ness of the city and State run by business men,
such as Morton and Strong AMI having II run by
politicians like Hill and Grant. The men say 1t is
the first time Republican candidate for Congress
