## Opinion text

McKinstry, J., concurring:
I concur in the judgment. In my opinion the act of May 7th, 1881, in so far as it may operate to extend for a definite period the terms of office of the officers named in section 9 of article xi of the Constitution, contravenes the last clause of that section.
Thornton, J., concurred in the opinion of Mr. Justice McKinstry.
