Correspondence of The Tribune.

AURORA, Feb. ~, 1911
The Wings Of CAYUGA had great gathering al
Auburn Yesterday. Notwithstanding the bad con
diton of the roads, the Wings came pouring IN from
every section OF the county. The delegation rom
the Southern towns entered Auburn in procession
with fine display of banners. The banner OF Tue
Scpio Clay Club bore on one side fine painting oil
Henry Clay and underneath was inscribed, :" he
peon,e,s Choice" and on the other, "Sciplo Clay
Club" with spread Eagle. The Ledyard Clay
Club banner had on one side a view OF the Slashe5
of Hanover, and on the other tul length portrait
of karistagia the last Sachem OF the Cayugas with
the inscription sThe Cayugas are on the war-path.
Several other Clay Clubs had appropriate banners,
and among them the Geneva Clay Club, with por-
1rat of Washington. 4 four-horse team, filled with
Locos. ambitious TO make q display, brought up the
rear OF the procession with dirty and tattered flag,
on which were inscribed the names of Van Buren,
and Johnson. That flag will be borne at the tail OF
every procession OF the friends of Protection 10 Anne
rican Industry. The Clubs assembled at the Court
House at two o'clock, and were addressed briefly
by H. S. CoNGER, Esq. Editor of the Cortland
Wing His remarks were appropriate, and he gave
strong encouragement that the Wings of Cortland
would redeem themselves next November.
Gov. SEWARD, being present, was loudly and
earnestly called for. He took the stand amidst pro-
longed cheering, and spoke for about an hour and
half with more than usual earnestness and eloquence
hope he will consent to write out his remarks Tor
publication. Among other things he said there were
in the Revolution only two great partes-the wing
party and-the other party. So there were only Two
parties now, and through one of them the People
must look for all measures OF Reform. tie SAID,
that of all our distinguished and worthy men none
had been so much illuminated as JOHN QUINCY AD-
ANS and HENRY CLAY. He described the character
and eminent services of Clay in strains OF exceeding
beauty and eloqucnce. In expressing his determl-
nation to devote his energies to the election OF the
Wing nominee of the Baltimore Convention, who
could be none other than Henry Clay, he reused up
the feelings of every Wing present, and he was re-
sponded to by an Earthquake shout" for Henry
| Clay.
Our Cortland friends sent us good delegation
and Col. Mathews was President of the Convention.
Sixty delegates from Cayuga and forty from Cort-
land were appointed to the Young Mems Conven-
ton to be held at Baltimore.
The Convention was hardly exceeded in numbers
in l94O and at no time there such enthusiasm
as now pervades the Wings Of Cayuga. The Wing
fires burn brightly and all feel confident of Clays
success. The work will be done.
After the Convention many Wings called at the
studies Of our young artist, Charles Elliott, to ex-
anime the full length portrait Of Gov. Seward, which
is now nearly finished belive all who saw Hard
ing's painting, excellent as it is, consider Ellots
decidedly the better likeness. 1t will be exhibited
in the Spring at the Academy in New York and |
hope the artists who are competing for the prize
from the Common Council, viii permit MIR. Elliot to
become competitor with them.
Truly yours H. W.
