This amendment was passed by the lez- islature and voted on by the people In 1882, and carried by 30,000 majority. Owing to clerical errors the same was annulled by the supreme court and the present prohibitory law was then passed by the general assembly. The temperance alliance, through its pres- ident, still insists the amendment is part of the constitution of the state notwithstanding the decision of the supreme court, the peovle having passed upon the samein their sover- eign capacity, and removed it from the urisdiction of the courts. President Harvey today demanded of Sec- retary of State McEarland a certified copy of the constitution of the state, including this amendment. McFarland refused, and said the amendment wasnot part of the constitution and, therefore, not a matter to bo certified from his ofice.

The president was unwilling to consider the name of any- one for the oMce who had not besn conspicu ous as & judge or & successful lawyer. The name of Judge Crounse was placed on thelist with Judge Cobb, as the president seemed to desire an additional one to consider in con- nection with thatof Judge Cobb, and Judge Crounse appeared under all the circum- stances as they were presented here to be the most available.

The senators have strong hopes of secur- ing at least two of the appointments soon, but which of them they do not say.
