LETTER TO Mr.. CLAY.
New HAVEN. Nov. 18th. 1914.


SIR: 1t is with much pleasure that we
execute the duty assigned to US by the
Wings Of this city, of transmitting to you
the enclosed proceedings of & meeting
held by them on the evening of the l4th
'nsl.; but this pleasure is mingled with
The deepest regret that we cannot hail you
as we had fondly hoped, as President of
these United States. The deplorable re-
suit OF the late election has here, as every
where, filled the hearts of your Wing
friends with pain and modification; and
this feeling has not been confined to the
roterS only, but has extended itself
through every age and condition OF society
We were not aware, until we saw our
anticpatons Of your success blighted,
how strong a hold you had upon our at.
ectIons. and we now feel that you are
PRESIDENT in the hearts Of a vast MAORI
ty of the intelligent and patriot citizens OF
me country, where you can never be de-
ieaied and where the poisoned shafts of
eaIumny can never reach you. Had you
been called to assume the responsibilities
OF mo oiiice of Chief Magistrate Of the
Union, we feel sure that the most eminent
success in the discharge fits duties could
not have increased your fame, or led us
to cherish any warmer feelings than we
now entertain for your character and pub.
lie services.
We are proud, Sir, Of our city for the
vote she has given you, which is larger
than was ever given before TO any csndi.

SEN.
New HAVEN, Nov. l6, 1874

New HAVEN, Nov. 10, 1874.
SrR--In accordance with the vote Of a
general meeting of the Wings oil the City,
convened on the evening Of the 18th 10.
slant, we herewith transmit to you copy
ofthe proceedings Of that meeting.
The Wings Of Connecticut, although
mortified aud disappointed at the result Of
the late election, we're never more united
than a: present, nor more determined to
persevere in their efforts to carry out
those great measures OF public policy
which they have adopted as their politl-
cal creed, and on the success OF which
they believe the welfare OF this country
depends. Although defeated for the
time, We are not cast down. We know
our own strength, ard FIVE have not ma
jority OF the legal voters, we have with US
the great body of the intelligent, reflect.
ing people of the Union, aud under such
circumstances we feel that there is no rea-
son for dependency. Such party and
such cause must ultimately prevail.
In assuring you at this time, when you
are not before the public as candidate
for the Office in which we hoped 10 have
placed you-the second only in the gift
o. the nation--you can have no reason to
doubt that the respect and admiration
which We entertain for YOU is for the
man, and not for the candidate for the
Vice Presidency.
We beg you, for ourselves and in be-
half of those whom we represent, to ac-
cept our best wishes for your health and
happiness.
Your obedient servants,
P. S. GALPIN,
JAMES F. BABCOCK, ; Com.
