He has no office.
His headquarters is the County Courthouse bootblack stand.
There he receives his constituents, transacts his general business and pours forth his philosophy. Plunkitt has been one of the great powers in Tammany Hall for a quarter of a century.

He is one of the closest friends and most valued advisers of Charles F.Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. William L.Riordon A Tribute to Plunkitt by the Leader of Tammany Hall SENATOR PLUNKITT is a straight organization man.
