NEW YORK, June 13.-'rhe reception
Of the Manhattan Club which was given
last night to Ex-Governors Tllden and
Hendricks and to Gov. Robinson and
Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer not only proved
a great success from social standpoint,
but was OF political Significance, as
shown by the speeches Of Gov. Hen
bricks and Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer. The
Club-r DOM was elegantly decorated for
the occasion, ana BY 9 o'clock in the eVe-
ming was crowded with guests, among
whom were Gen. j. FitZ Porter, q. NJ. J..
Ingersoll, Gov. Badel Of New Jersey,
Judge Clifford OF Maine, Senator Nc
Donald Of Indiana, Senator Herman OF
New York, Gen. Davis and large dele
CATION from all local organizations.
Ats o'clock Governor Hendricks, &C.
companied By Judge Spencer and Hon.
Augustus Schell, entered the CluL-
house, and on being recognized were re-
ceiyed with loud applause. A few
moments afterwards Ex-Governor Tilden
| followed with Lieutenant Governor Dor
sheimer and A. j. Vanderpool. Owing
| to some dome tic trouble Mr.. Belmont
the President of the Club, was unable
to preside, and his place was taken by
Vice President Mr. A. j. Vanderpool.
He made Il short address aud intro
duced Mr.. S. j. TildeD, who was received
with great enthusiasm. He said that he
had thought this meeting was one to
show an app eciation OF Governor Rob-
| inso.,, but that as it had assumed larger
proportions, he was willing to say tnat
| in his opinion the men tnat were elected
President and Vice President OF the
United States at the last election had
been counted out, and the men that at
present held the position were counted
| in. The matter was one OF grave i'm.
portance, not only 10 the individuals but
| to the nation. The main question now
was to stir up such public opinion as
would IN peaceful manner let the
people know that their right at the polls
| would be respected ana their verdict
accepted. 1t was for the people, how.
ever, to take care OF the future, but still
they might remember that wrong was
never 50 apparently triumphant upon
the eve Of lis DOWNFALL.
Ex-Governor Hendricks followed and
created considerable enthusiasm by his
earnest speech. He spoke strongly in
favor OF more unity among the various
sections OF the country ana argued that
its national policy should be as broad as
It's trade and commerce.. He denounced
the action OF the Returning Board, which
was not only scheme, but q nationa
disgrace. What they looked at and con
sidered was not that Governor Tilden
had been wronged, but that the people
had been deprived Of their rights.
Short speeches were then made by
Governor Robinson and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dorsheimer, after which all III
formal reception was. held and suppe
served. AT IL O'clock Graffulis' Bant
