| CHICAGO, Tuesday Noon, Msy Is.
There is an immense crowd here, and mons
coming. The Convention will far outnumbes
that at Charleston, and will be the most multi
tudinous ever held in the city.
Grea: and general confidence is expressed in
success before the people. This increases ths
difficulty Of nominating.

confusion is after the n,qnaer Of the Democracy

Stewards friends are exceedingly earnest, de-
termined and powerful. Seward stands in the
same position to this Convention, that Douglxs
did to that at Charleston. His friends are ran4
ged in solid column, and have altogether tho
best tactics. His opponents are divided; and
without any programme CT operations. his
! friends are at work systematically-ha plen-
tv of music, brandy and cigars, and are accused
of having $4,000 to invest in delegates ;
Among the distinguished men at work for him.
are James Watson Webb, Moses H. Grinneu
and Tom Hyer.
One hundred and nineteen totes are required
to nominate Seward. He will have on the hrst
ballot at least 80. He has from California 4.
Connecticut 2, Iowa l. Maine 8, Massachusetts,
Z, Michigan s, Minnesota 4, New York 35, Ver-s
mont s, Virginia Is, Wisconsin S, Texas g.
There is much growing among his opponents
about the delegations from Virginia and Texas.
If the Kansas delegation is admitted, it will b
! for him.
The Bates and Mclean strength is to be turn
ed over to Senator Wade. The most devoted
friends of Chase consider him slaughtered by
the Wade movement.
| The throat of Chase has been cut in the houss
OF his friends. majority Of the Ohio delega-
tion are believed to be for Wade, and our Ohio
folks are in deep tribulaton. Corwin, DelanO,
and Others will not give Chase even compli4
mentary vote without bargaining that when
Chase is dropped, the delegation will vote as o
unit. This means that Chase is to have merely
a sham complimentary unit vote and Wade the.
real vote Of the delegation. 1t is said Cover
nor Dennison avors the unit vote The most
ardent friends of Chase oppose it. Efeaa
! The Ohio vote will be thrown alternately for
Lincoln, Wade or Seward. Chase's friends con-
slider themselves as holding the balance Of pow.
er and will mostly go for Lincoln as against
Wade. few are for Seward. as&
My present impression is that the test fight
will come between Seward and Lincoln, with q
chance for Seward. The opposition to Seward
is however intense and clamerous. His oppo-s
nents miscalculated his power. His friends are
cool and confident. Their position is that the
nominee will be elected, and that Seward is the
statesman of the party, and will show vast
strength in quarters where his weakness is most
loudly proclaimed. Greely and the Blairs ara
hot against him. Greeley says Bell would beat
Seward in Pennsylvania and that the campaign,
with Seward for nominee, is the next thing to
hopeless. o+
There is a chance that If Seward be siaugh4
tered Fremont may be brought out, and sweep
the field. There is authority here to produce
: him in certain contingency.
There was hot time in the Ohio delegation
over the seat contested by Dom Piatt,--from
Logan county. Dom got the committee to re-
port in his favor; but the report was overruled
by the delegation. So Donn don't get into the
| Convention.
The spokesman OF Ohio, in the Convention,
will be Cartier, of Cleveland 7 A
The crowds and excitement here are hourly
increasing. Delegations are marching to their
hotels, headed by bands of music. Two hum
dred Pennsylvanians arrived in body to day.
Some New YORK fellows, IN a spree last night
alarmed the moral Republicans. They sung
several songs not found in the hymn book, and
Donn Patt says threw the Western Reserve
into prayers and perspiration. NJ. H.s
LATER. 2s larsr
The Ohio delegation had three hours ses-
sionthis afternoon, and warm time. There
were forty three delegates present. three not ar.
rived. An informal ballot on first claim for the
Presidency was taken. The result was, Chase
twenty four. Lincon nlne Wade s., Seward /,
Bates l, Mclean 8. The real strength of Ctase
was not more than 90. ballot was then ia
ken to ascertain the vote OF the delegation; pre-
vided Chase were dropped. The result was,
Wade o. Lincon 16, Bates /, McLean3, Sew
ard 2. .-..- .--.t e
( There is no chance for the vote OF Ohio to be
cast as unit. II the delegation was a unit for
Chaoe, many believe he would be nominated, as
a heavy part ofSewards strength would even
tually go to him. Also, if Ohio would go solid
for Wade, he would win, but being parcelcd
out, the vote OF the Stats has no influence.
Giddtngs is for success rather than Seward.
He says that Seward's strength is greatly over
rated and will speedily subside. "..ru
1t is thought by some Of theifriends Of Chase
that the Wade movement is plot and pisce OF
trickery. The evidence of trickery does not ap-
pear but it is grossly absurd for theconservatives
to concentrate on so radical and rough spoken
man as Wade.
Spooner, Eggleston and others who are for
Wade as their second choice, repudiats the
charge OF unfriendless toward Chase. The pre-
tended friends OF Chase who have slaughtered
him. are pointed out as from the Northern part
of the State. 9*aj5 s3a ssf4
The slaughter OF Chase in tho Ohio deleea-
tion produces great surprise here. Even Spoo-
ner is accused ofjoining in the Wade movement.
Cartier, Of Cleveland Chairman of the Ohio
delegation, certainly dose SO, likewise the
Hamilton County delegates, with the single ex-
ception Of Hassaurek. You can discover the
state of the case from the fact that Barrett. OF
the Gazette, will represent Ohio on the Plat
form Committee. "i s3
lam inclined to believed that the result Of
this convention will still mora disgust the peo-
