Judge Frank W. Lawler of the San Francisco Superior Court rode the westbound train last evening. He voiced little enthusiasm for Cleveland’s nomination and criticized the Stockton Convention for limiting the delegation’s options. The rest of the delegation may pass through today or tomorrow, possibly via Salt Lake if they do not stopover. The Santa Cruz locomotive has been repaired and is back in service after a recent trip. Tomorrow Sept Berry will travel to Oneida to accommodate New York visitors connected to Moran Brothers who have not yet seen the line.
