THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND PARTY.
Prominent at the reception was Lieutenant Gov

OF the administration His large AngloNorman
figure. youth, ox-eyes full OF reflection and fun,
and ripe colors were not reduced by the prema-

At the Lieutenant Governors elbow we see Mrs.

democratic manager OF the western end OF the
State. There also. Is Harry Richmond, son Of the
great Dean Richmond, whose fondness for public
life keeps him much OF the time at Albany. The
Lieutenant Governor Is IN an affabe mood and
fresh as lark Tor one not chicken In politics.
HIc JACEr LIB REP
"ThIs, Mr.. Dorsneimer, Is what remains of the
liberal republican movement ~
''Wel yes, )" said the Lieutenant Governor, good
naturedly. 'srhe possibilities OF the liberal repub-
lican movement or 1872 were allowed to 60 by. I
think they logically led to the democratic party.
and Governor T1lden gave his support to that
theory"
Mr.. Dorsheimer ran ahead Of the ticket last
autumn. and ne was nominated without concert
OF action to conciltate. the democrats OF Western
New York. Mr. Tiden readily concurring.
"What il the political or other motive to this
reception, sir ~
"A general motive, think" said Mr.. DORIS.
helmer. Governor Tilden Is very liberal demo-
crat and an old friend Of Mr.. Bryant. He appre-
cia,es the good poets abnegati0n OF ONCE through
very long life, In the course or which he has been
delicstey rendered foreign missions and, indeed,
might have had almost anything. 1t Is proper
that the State OF New York should greet . great
citizens Jour score with this compliment. We
want . tone for the democracy Of the future such
as 1t had in the days when James Kirke PaulGing,
George Bancroft, Nathaniel Hawthorne and wash
ington Irving were h0nored BY democratic Presi-
dents with official position. The republicans
supported by the literary professors generally
have not been slow to repel men like Motley and
to 60 past men OF intellect on almost every occa-
sion Tor the benent OF very common party ma
terial."
THE CENTURY CLUB.
1t may be said that the Century Club OF New
YORK was particularly honored at this reception.
Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer Is a member Of
the club. end Mr.. Bryant Is its President. IL is
said that no member Of the club has previously had
equal political and sem.political honors

Legislature or on1cial body in America has ever

morrow. This event has no great significance. It
is mutual respect. At WASHINGTON city the literary
people and editors are LEFT on the receptions s,
as we near. Now Albany Is at the present
time the national capital OF the democratic
party It suits the Governor. who is man OF cul.
ture, to see Mr. Bryant honored BY the Empire
State. He hopes to raise the level OF the party
ABOVE sectional chickering's and old issues 20 the
contemplation OF o social pleasantly where the
elected rulers honor the best citizens"
ARCADIANIsMS.
Mr.. Joseph Warren also expressed the idea that
the reception OF Bryant by Tilden was an invita-.
ton through Mr.. Bryant's personality, to all the
people OF the state to assist In lifting up the plane
OF politics from the mere resentment or issues to
appreciation Of the best product OF O republic, q

MIR. Dorsueimer also said:-"Governor Tilden
