Rerormers from all parts Of the Union
gathered at the reception given by tho Manhat-
tan Cluo lsat evening to Samuel J. Tpdsn. the
future President OF the United Statust The
quests beran to arrive at about 81 o'clock, and
by . tho iargo reception rooms OF the club
house were nlled by men whose names are
Familiar as household words In the cause OF
good government. At 9A the guest Of the evening
entered the front drawing room, and was soon
surrounded by knot OF friends who greeted him
with outstretched hands. The Governor looked
q little careworn, rs though tho anxietics OF the
canvass were pressing him, but his eye was
clear, and his erect bearing and conf
nent air might have impressed even those
who did not know him. IIo bore
himself Informally throughout hislevee. There
was no stereotyped sinking Of bands, with the
principal shaker landing ike a statue In Sc
Iected quarter Of the room. The Governor
moved around naturally, 1rst In one direction
ana then In another, cordially speaking to all
whom ho saw. Among the first who greeted
him wac Senator Gwid Of California, whose
martial bcaiinx ami long white moustachcs
made him one Of the most conspicuous persons
IN the room. Next as u bystander facetiously
eajd, occurred n case Of the lion and the lamb
lying down together. The buFly form Of John
Kelly was observed In close proximity TO the
slender figure of the Governor, and the future
President and the man who did his
best Co defeat his nomination In st.
Louis shook each other by the hand.
After exchanging few more greetings with his
admirers, the Governor wandered out into the
main ball Of the CLUB house, AMI what formaty
there was during the occasion ccaaed from that

tho c0fsiog man was made to WINK ma blink In
che dense atmosphere. lilo did not seom to dis
like It, however, but laughed and ch tied with
those who surrounded him, as thoIgh he hai
been smoked OUT more than once in his col
lego days.
