In tho maijnlflcont nnd capacious Coliseum In Jnckson Park, beneath clear sklos, with a cool, Invigorat ing brcczo snapping nt tho flags and trap pings and tho blue waters of Lake Michi gan Btrotchlng nway to tho north, tho Democratic national convention met yes terday. After a brief but decisive battlo In tho arena tho silver men Indicated their supremacy. They wrested from tho hands of tho gold phalanxos tho control of tho convention and gathered tho reins of power into thoir own hands. There was a remlnlscenco of that other great Coliseum whoso fall marked tho de struction of an empire, where men wcro butchored to mako a Hainan holiday, TUB CHICAGO COLISEUM. about It all. A champion who has so often entered tho lists to do battlo In DcmoC' racy's ciiufo, amid tho ringing shouts nnd tho wild acclaim of his party, was put to tho sword that silver might bo 6uprcmo. It was with roluctanco that many of tho friends of Senator David Bonnctt Hill turnod their thumbs downward, as tho ar rogant patricians of tho empire that ruled tho world did when tho populace cried for mercy, lint, llko tho gladiators who cm tored tho arena to tho blaroof tho trumpet nnd tho clang of steel, tho silver mon beat back their sympathies nnd hardoned their hearts that tho lssuo might 1k squarely drawn and decided, oven though It In' volvod tho doom of ono whom they had delighted to honor In tho past. By ono of those strange, fateful coinci dences it was bonator John W. Daniel, who four years ago, at tho Wigwam, nom inated Mr. Hill for tho presidency, who was seloctcd to give the fatal blow to tho man whom ho would havo exalted to tho first placo In tho republic. No more elo quent commentary on tho revolution which has dlvldod tho party and mado this oonvention so memorablo could bo needed. It was not without a wail of agony, however, that sonio of tho specta tors who could not fathom tho mysteries of political maneuvering and tho necessity of grinding men beneath tho heel saw tho old champion, whoso slogan nnd proudest boast was "1 am a Democrat," go down. Evon after Sonator Daniel had roachod tho platform and assumed tho gavel thoy called loudly for tho defeated leador, but tho oxporioncod general, who has tasted tho blttornoss of defeat Imforo, as well ns the swootnoss of victory, only smiled grimly.

They will dictato tho platform by practically tho sumo voto as that which elected Senator Daniel, of Virginia, over Senator Hill, In the contest for tho tcmnorarv chnlrmnnshln. That voto did not discloso a two-thirds majority, necessary for the choice of a can didate, but tho Commltteo on Credentials will control tho permanent roll, and it will, should tho occasion bo deemed to demand it, unseat enough gold Democrats to render tho balanco impotent. Tho program of tho frco silver men is to hold but two sessions to-day and havo u final adjournment to-night. 1:15 p. m. Twenty-four of tho Pennsyl vania delegates havo decided to cast their Vote's for Bland. :01 p. m. Whitney has succeeded In holding tho New York 'delegates together.

POSTMASTER MELLET CALLED UPON The Postal Authorities at Washington Ask Him to Olve Facts Bearing Upon tho Feasibility and Probable Advan tages of Such a System. Iteccntly the Schuylkill Traction Company mado application to tho United States Postal Department for tho right to carry tho malls between tho several towns on Its lines of railway. This would not interfere with tho regular railroad mail sorvico in any way, but would simply glvo tho towns on tho electric lino a quicker and more frequent mail servlco that would bo greatly appre ciated by tho business people, especially. Tho benefits of such a mail system is at onco apparent to overybody. At Hazlctou and at points in tho Wyoming Valley tho mail is carried on tho trolloy cars to all points along tho system on specially arranged mail cars, aud it is found to work to tho greatest advantage) to the business people. Tho question has frequently been discussed hero, but this tho first timo any decisivo steps havo been taken. Postmaster Mellct is in attendance at tho National Democratic Convention in Chicago. but Assistant Fostmastcr Michael Tiorney stated this morning that a letter had been received from tho postal department at Washington, D. C, asking for particulars as to tho feasibility and tho benefits to bo de rived from a trolley postal scrvico between Shenandoah and Girardvillo. Mr. Tiorney said en answer would bo forwarded recom mending tho establishment of tho system and its extension to Locust Dalo and Maha noy City. When asked what tho innovation would accomplish Mr. Tiorney said it will result in a great improvement to tho postal scrvico in tho Malianoj' alley. At present three malls aro sent daily from Shenandoah to Locust Dalo and under the trolloy system tho number could easily bo increased to six. Four mails aro sent daily from Shenandoah to Mabauoy City, but only thrco aro delivered on tho samo day, tho fourth not reaching Mahanoy City until after soven o'clock in tho evening. Tho trolley service would increaso the number of mails on this lino to six. Mr. Tiorney is very enthusiastic over tho idea and no doubt tho answer to tho govern ment will lie very strong iu favor of a trolley mail scrvico. Wuldron's Horses Havo Arrived at the Merchants' Hotel Stahles. Waldron, tho great Canadian horso shipper. arrived hero last night with his horses.

Then there aro business horses, express and general purpose horses, in fact tliero aro some of all kinds, roadsters as well. Tho local judges hero pronounce them tho best lot that has ever been brought hero for a public auction. Tho simplo fact that thoy aro Canadian bred should mako them desirable, becauso It's conceded by all that for bono, strength and durability the Canadian horso has no equal and outlives any other horse on earth Waldron said every horso must bo sold to close them out, no matter what they brought, and that tho salo would open at ono o'clock p. m. to-morrow if It rained pitch forks with the points downward, as it must tako placo; so, if you want a horse, bo at tho Merchants hotel stables, and buy ono at your own price to-morrow.
