though the city election is four months
off candidates are already mentioned for
the respective city offices. The fight
two years ago was not on party lines,
but between two associations, the mer
camille and the citizens union, the lat
ter purity movement This year party
lines will be drawn and lively fight can
be looked for. For marshal on the Re
publican ticket James Cole and c. ID.
Whitcomb are mentioned, while on the
Democratic side the name of W. B.
Reeves is prominently mentioned. 1t is
quite likely that the Democrats, Popu-
lists and silver Republicans will COM
bine as against the Republicans. This
year the city clerk is to be elected for
the first time in the history of the city.

On June ., l775, Washington left
Philadelphia On horseback and tray-
eled in that manner 10 Cambridge,
Mass. Ii is impossible to determine
exactly which are the houses occupied
by the General during this journey
until he arrived nj Westcrheld, Conn,
on June 90, when it is known that the
dwelling he occupied in this town be-
longed to Silas Dean. This old house
Is still standing. The first house oc-
cupicd by the Commanler-in-Cnief ut
Cambridge as his headquarters was It
generous old gable rooted wooden
building located at the eastern end Of
the triangle OF the so.called Harvard
Square, Just where the street begins
to widen. This dwelling was latteriy
known as the Wadsworth House 1t
was built in 1926 for the official resi-
dence OF the principals Of Harvard
College. Walsworth was the first to
occupy it, the house having been com.
pleted the year after his Inauguration.
From Cambridge Washington went
to New York, arriving on Saturday,
April Is. The Generals first head.
quarters IN New York were in house
on Pearl street, opposite Cedar. There
he remained until summoned to visit
Congress at Philadelphia toward the
end OF May. On his return on June 6

House, later known as Richmond

House was the most pretentious dwell

markable for its architectural SYM

masonry.
On July 30, 1880, the General ar.
rived Mt the Robinson House. situated
on the opposite side OF the river, lit

country seat of Colonel Beverly Rob

by Washington, as around it centers
the story of the treason of Benedict

tiers ut the time he was commanding
at West Point and maturing his plans
to betray the fortress into the hands
of the enemy, and thus by one blow
annihilate the hopes of the iudepeud.
ence of the colonies.
On July 6, 1881, the General made
his headquarters at the Applobee place,
about three and half miles from
Dobbs Ferry, on the crossroads from
the ferry to White Plains. Some years
ago this old house was destroyed 1t
stood on an elevation called to this
day Washlngton's Hill. On August
20 the COmmander-in- Chief took up
his headquarters at the house of Joshua
Hett Smith, about two and half miles
below Stony Point. This building,
which is beautifully situated on ridge
ofhills, commanding an extensive view
of the Hudson, is still standing, and
apart from its occupancy by Washing
ton, it possesses other historical in
terest, as it was beneath its roof, on
September %, 1880, that Andre and
Arnold had their meeting.
August 80 the General, having left
the Joshua Hett Smith House, arrived
in Philadelphia. His headquarters
were at the house of Robert Morris
The next we'll authenticated headauar-
tiers in point of date were in the house
of Chancellor Wythe, at Williams
burg, Va, where the General arrived
on September IA, 1881.
This dwelling, which is still stand

mansion, fronting upon a long narrow
common. called the Palace Green.
During the Revolution it was the home
of George Wythe, one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence,
and for more than twenty years sole
Chancellor of Virginia.
Since the days that Washington oc-
cupied it the Wythe House has passed
through various hands. For many
yeers it was the home OF John Page,

Washington left Philadelphia on Feb
ruaTy >, 1879, and returned 20 Mid
dlebrook, where he remained until the
spring Of that year. Early In June ho
set out for New Windsor, on the Hul-
son, where he established his head
quarters in the house Of William
Ellison, on hill Immediately south of
the village Of New Windsor. This old
homestead Was removed many years
ago, and its location has been con
verified into a brickyari.
In the early summer Of 1850 Wash

at this house. which he occupied until
June -, 1871. On the Dist of July,
t779, he made his headquarters ut
West Point The house he occupied
was situated IN what is now called

During this lengthy period his head
quarters were Mt the house of Ben
lamin Chew, No. ITO South Third
street. between Walnut and Spruce
streets.
Leaving Philadelphia on March -
Washington journeyed to Newourg,
n. Y. There he joined the main army,
which had been ordered TO proceed to
that point. The house IN which the
headquarters of the Commandcr-in-
Chief were located was situated on a

This property remained in the pos
session of the Hasbrouck family until
1919, when the title became vested in
the State of New York. In 1850 it was
placed by act of Assembly in the hands
of the Board OF Trustees of the vii
lage, to be preserved as nearly ms pos.
sible as is was ut the time Of its occu.

was al once restored by 4 committee
appointed by the Board Of Trustees,
and the place formally dedicated on
July of that year. In 1860, by the
State authority, the care OF the prop
erty passed to the city authorities,
where 1t remained until 1874, when
the Legislature appointed, by act of
May II, Board OF Trustees to hold
and maintain it.
