body seems to be anxious to have a
special election in the district and all
are willing that Jameson should con-
tinue until the end of his term at the

nomination for clerk of the supre :
court. had as his chief opponents :.
present clerk of the supreme CT =
Colonel Bousquet, and his chief de q
Chris Jones. That was twenty !
years ago. Jones was at that e e
deputy clerk under Holmes b ne
afterwards became deputy unde = ay
for twelve years, then succeed =: lin
for twelve more years. Colonel Bous-
auet had put away his ambition, but
revived it a few years ago and Is now
the clerk Pray was clerk of the court
when the removal was made from the
old capitol to the new. This removal
was made in 1884 and the first rooms
assigned to the clerk were certain
committee rooms on the legislative
floor near where the postoffice now Is,
but later the clerk was moved up to
the rooms over the postoffice. At that
time the court was being held in the
committee rooms in the north end OF
the building, while the court room was
being completed. The decoration of the
court room was completed in the win
ter of 1856 and in the spring of 1885
the dedication of the rooms took place.
1t was an interesting occasion with
Justice Samuel F. Miller. of the I'm
tied States supreme court, as the
speaker. Your correspondent reported
the event for local newspaper and
was placed under great obligations to
Judge Miller for his courtesy.
