CHICAGO. May 19.-The city is more densely
crowded tonight than 1t was at the time Oh o''n'i
sse Lincoln Convention of 1860, or the McOi0iian
convention of 1854 Not only is every hotel ana phi
.ta boarding house full. but many of the private
.saences contain guests. The Soldiers Convention
bicb met to-day contributed to this crowds but the
,rrtrv for hundred miles around the city has also
mt its delegations to help canvass for Wade snd
olfax. The train from New-York this morning
d. ,lareed the outside delegation from that State
or Gov. Fenton, and at least thousand

The last of the Southern deegations-that of South
rarolina-arriyed to-day, and they were Immediately
beset TO know whom they would favor. All the
.,tber DELEGATIONS have been visited by committees
rom the different States, urging their respective
,andidates. NEWCOMERS work the hardest, and If
heir avOrte is not chosen, 1t will not be because Oh
D lack of industry on their part.
This morning the interest was increased by q pa

adelegate who will propose Gen. Carl Scurz as tenn
porary chairman. This gentleman appears to be the
unanimous choice for that position. Then commit
the consisting of one from each State, is to be APP
pointed on rules, permanent organization, and plat
form after which the Convention will probably adj

a Permanent Organization. and probably Platform,
Ill report after which an adjournment until this
Say may be Effected. --r
For permanent President, Gen. Hawley, of Con-
aecticut seems tonight to be the choice, although
John H. Bingham, of Ohio, and Gov. Fletcher OF
missouri, are named for the position. The West do
aot seem in earnest in pressing a gentleman from
sber own number They talk and act as though
AAey would rather that the East should
have it, Hawley will get the Con-
aeeticut delegations support and that of other
Eastern States, and New-York and Pennsylvania
each promise to support him, provided Connecticut
after the first ballot will throw her vote for Gov
fentOn, OF Gov Curtin. The friends of both gentle
saen are certain that they will have Connecticut
when they want her. Some one, therefore, is
sare to be cheated. A strong desire is mani
Tested to make Gen. Siokles the permanent
President, and Cen. Van Zandt of Rhode Island lie
s mentioned; but the friends of neither gentleman
are so well organized as Hawley's supporters.

End everybody desires to meet the question boldly
Aad honestly The platform of this kind most accep-
table is that which was adopted by the illinois Re
publican Convention few weeks ago. The reso-
lations. are very unacceptable to the repudators in
this section, and. therefore, Are more likely to be
adopted by the Convention tomorrow, In spirit If
not in word. They are as follows
That denounce all forms of Reputation national
and that the national honor requires the payment
the public Indebtedness in the utmost good faith, to

That Il Is due to the labor Of the nation that taxation

main in the Treasury after economical and necessary
appropriation should be applied 10 the reduction Of the
aeipai Of the public debt by purchase IN the open
That the burden Of the National debt should be ex
e Ided fair time before redemption and IL Is the
suy Of Congress- 20 reduce the rate of interest on such

There is some division of sentiment about the

orkiug leaders generally are in favor Of denouncing
ohnsOn, applanding the action of the House in iln-
aching johnson, and the Managers for the ability
istth which tLev e,nnortad the artcles aoine4 tho
President, and expressing the regret that the Presi
'snt was not removed. An enormous outside pres
is in favor Of reading Chase, Trumbull Grimes,
sssenden Fowler Ross and Van Wrinkle out of the
rty. This latter feeling, which does not seem to
sc intensity by age, may force the more cautious
leaders TO suceumb but they profess TO be able to
stem the current. s..,..,sFs --es.- ssys
