Colorado Democrats.
LEADyILLE, August 19th.-Caucuses of
leading delegations were held last evening to
considering the martial law resolution. The
Democrat this morning says: We tell The
Convention plainly, and in the most I'M
equivocal and emphatic terms, that the intro
duction of this resolution, or rather its
passage and adoption, will prove the enter
ing wedge; will so rend and divide the
Democracy that its defeat at the polls will
surely follow. The question is only affecting
the local interests Of Leadville, and the party
throughout the State should not tolerate its
destroying presence in the Convention.

SECOND DISPATCHl
SPRINGFIELD (Mas5.), st. Julien made the
fastest time ever known in Hampden Park
2;15) while trotting the third heat of the
free-foT-all race to-day. The track Is con-
,idered three to five seconds slower than that
at Rochester, so this record is considered
really his best work.
Maud S. undertook to lower her Rochester
record of 2:114 for special purse of 81, 900,
1nt failed signaliy. After going once round
.he track she trotted an exercise heat. Time,
2:27. Shortly after her driver undertook to
ipeed her, but becoming nettled by the loudly
spoken word Go" or by the crowd which
,verlapped the track on the quarter stra c.,
The broke Immediately, and was ordered back
lfter passing the quarter pole, by Captain
stone In the third round she broke on the
bird turn, and the whole heat was SO unsat-
sfactory that the judges took no time, much
o the disappointment of the betting crowd.
twenty minutes later she made final at
empt, and trotted without single break
md very handsomely. Time, 2:19. The
urns of the track are very bad, particularly
he first, so that the flyers can only make
ordinary time while on the back stretch, and
or some reason the mare seemed not herself,
icing quite different creature than when
he showed up at Rochester.
