the provision of the constitution which
prohibits a supreme justice from be-
coming a candidate for any other Office

elected. While Judge Temple resigned
from the supreme bench. the term for

The outlook is that Budd is far in the

THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST.
The contest for the championship OF
the convention narrowed down early
yesterday to q fight between Thomas J.
Clunie and ex-senator Del Vslle. The
sx-congressman made his first appear
gnce in the lobby of the hotel early this
afternoon, but his spirits did not appear
to be keyed up to the usual pitch, and
word WAS passed around that he was
losing ground in his fight. Clunie's
supporters said that his political friends
were also the political friends of Del
Vale, and it was merely a question of
which should agree to give way.
Del Valle'e constituency, however, kept
on increasing and his friends did not ap-
pear to coincide with the Clunie view OF
the situation. They said that the south
ern candidate did not consider Clunio
the proper man for chairman. He WAS
a seli-confessed Buckley and railroad
henchman, and they propose to oppose
him to the bitter end. In short, they
were out for blood.
Last night Gould was declared out Of
the contest in favor OF Del Vale. Clay
Webster Taylor is expected to follow the
same course. A canvass OF the dele
gates last night showed that Del Vale
will probably be given the nomination
by aeclsmation.
