Itis the general impression that the convention wil be held. in the east, Inasmuch as the nominations for the Past elght years have been made in western cities, Chicago, however, it 13 intimated, will put ina claim to have tt held there on the ground of the Superior hotel accommodations and a capacious hail in which to hold the convention. As far as the hall 1s concerned, it was almost the unanimous opinion of the delegates to the last convention that too large a hall was an objection, as it placed, at Umes, the control of the convention in the hahds of the galleries, a fact. which will be remembered by all who recall the exciting contest in the last Tepublican convention. Philadelphia, it 1s under- stood, will make an appeal to have te convention held there anda delezation will be here on ‘Tues- day to urge the selection of that city. ‘The national convention Which nominated Grant and Wilson Was the last one held there.
