bottle! Cause: two robbers attempted
to dope" him some years ago.
We found Saxten, of the Glenbrook,
as genial and hospilable as ever the
lake comparatively smooth: the crowd
at Comedian Hot Springs large tinclud-
ing James w. Marshall, discoverer of
gold in California;, and the road there
from to Truckee anything but smooth.
Truckee is rather lively. The rail
road hotel there is about on a par with
all such monopolies; You are at the
mercy of everybody connected with
it, from the landlord to the loafers
about the bar room. In consequence,
Charley and / crossed the railroad and
dined at the Capitol Chop House, a
first rate place, at half the hotel
prices.
The contest for the Lake Bigler
travel is going to be a warm one be-
tween the rival lines. The fare over
the Hot Springs stage lire is 81 (as we
know by sad experience). That ove
the Tahoe City line is the ame The
former is the shortest and by odds the
toughest road. The Tahoe City line
follows the gorge of the Truckee river
up to the lake, and passes much grand
and some infinitely beautiful scenery.
By this route, four miles above
Truckee, is the trou pond of Conner
Il Co., where there are over 200, 900
trout of all ages and sizes-a sight we'll
| worth the seeing. Two miles further
up the beautiful stream is the cele-
brated Ice Spring, a great natural
curiosity. Then there are the great
pyramids OF igneOus rocks on the
left, the lofty mountain peaks wrapped
in now and long yellow cliffs of gran,
lite rising on the right. and the Tahoe
Water Works dam, for which Won
Schmidt has been damned SO oft. The
fast steamer Emerald with
this line and runs thence to Glenbrook
and back each day.
OF the trip across the mountains
by railroad it is scarcely necessary to
speak, AS most of our readers are ia
miliar with the scenery. 70 the n
6ersigned, however, il was new. Sun
rise on Bonner Lake was particularly
grand and beautiful. A steamer was
put upon this lake on the l7th instant.
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
This is the largest assembly of the
kind that ever convened on the coast,
there being 81 delegates present.
Physically, it surpasses any body of
men l have ever seen. and intellec-
tually it is up to the highest standard.
The Convention met in the Assembly
IChanber of the new Capitol at 12:20
p. M. yesterday, and was called to
order by j. p. Hoge. j. w. Coffroth
was chosen temporary and suisse
Quently permanent President, and
Harry George Secretary. After the
| appointment of a Committee on Gre
dentials a recess was taken for one
hour. On reassembling, a motion was
made hat Gov. Bradley who appeared
in the lobby be invited to a seat with
the Speaker, which was carried amid
a storm of applause. Cot1roth intro
! duced him in a brief and eloquent
speech which was repeatedly inter
rnpted by applause. A call was then
made for Bradley to speak. The old
man excused himself. \ delegate
I'VE want the President of this Con-
vention to say what he knows Cover
nor Bradley would say if he felt like
talking" "Hear! heart" and APP
plause.1 Coffroth then launched
forth into one of those long, swinging.
eloquent, musical sentences which eX
cite men to the highest pitch of en-
lhusiasm, and brought up amid a
storm of applause.
In the afternoon session a long de-
bate and considerable exceeding sharp

the house moved to amend t o one |
memberfrom each county, to be named

fight was lost-ayes, l53; noes, 165.
The anti Haight or San Francisco side
then fell back upon judicial districts-
for one committee man from each, TO
be named by the delegates from the
district. Here was a chance for candi-

were alarmed.
The evening session was consumed
with committee reports and skirmiSh-

This morning j. ?. Hoge reported

document and was received with great
enthusiasm and unanimously adopted.
