Using the hint, our plan is to first find a finite open cover, followed by a finite compact $G_delta$ cover and finally a Baire partition.
Let $varepsilon > 0$ and $x in X$. By continuity of $f$, we can find an open $U_x$ containing $x$ such that for all $u in U_x$ we have
$$|f(x) - f(u)| < frac{varepsilon}{4}$$
This implies for all $y, z in U_x$ we get
$$begin{align}
|f(y) - f(z)| &le |f(y) - f(x)| + |f(x) - f(z)| \
&< frac{varepsilon}{4} + frac{varepsilon}{4} \
&= frac{varepsilon}{2}
end{align}$$
By order preserving property of supremum, we obtain
$$sup_{y, z in U_x} |f(y) - f(z)| le frac{varepsilon}{2} < varepsilon$$
Next, since $X$ is locally compact Hausdorff, we can choose a compact neighbourhood $K_x$ and open $V_x$ such that $$x in V_x subseteq K_x subseteq U_x$$
Now by lemma 3 of this question (please check!),
we can pick a compact $G_delta$ set $G_x$ such that $$x in V_x subseteq K_x subseteq G_x subseteq U_x$$
Observe that ${V_x}_{x in X}$ is an open cover for $X$.
By compactness of $X$, there is a finite subcover ${V_{x_1}, dots, V_{x_n}}$. Since each $V_{x_j} subseteq G_{x_j}$, ${G_{x_1}, dots, G_{x_n}}$ is also a finite cover. Hence ${G_{x_1}, dots, G_{x_n}}$ is a finite compact $G_delta$ cover. Besides, since each $G_{x_j} subseteq U_{x_j}$, we have $$sup_{y, z in G_{x_j}} |f(y) - f(z)| < varepsilon$$
Finally, let $$begin{align}
mathcal{P} = {&B_1 cap dots cap B_n mid \
&B_j = G_{x_j} text{ or } X setminus G_{x_j} text{ with } B_1 cap dots cap B_n neq emptyset}
end{align}$$
We can see that $mathcal{P}$ is a Baire partition. Fix $B_1 cap dots cap B_n in mathcal{P}$. We have $B_1 cap dots cap B_n subseteq G_{x_j}$ for some $G_{x_j}$. If not, we would have $$B_1 cap dots cap B_n = (X setminus G_{x_1}) cap dots cap (X setminus G_{x_n}) = emptyset$$ contradicting $B_1 cap dots cap B_n$ being nonempty. Hence $$begin{align}
sup_{y, z in B_1 cap dots cap B_n} |f(y) - f(z)| &le sup_{y, z in G_{x_j}} |f(y) - f(z)| \
&< varepsilon
end{align}$$
Done!

Using the hint, our plan is to first find a finite open cover, followed by a finite compact $G_delta$ cover and finally a Baire partition.
Let $varepsilon > 0$ and $x in X$. By continuity of $f$, we can find an open $U_x$ containing $x$ such that for all $u in U_x$ we have
$$|f(x) - f(u)| < frac{varepsilon}{4}$$
This implies for all $y, z in U_x$ we get
$$begin{align}
|f(y) - f(z)| &le |f(y) - f(x)| + |f(x) - f(z)| \
&< frac{varepsilon}{4} + frac{varepsilon}{4} \
&= frac{varepsilon}{2}
end{align}$$
By order preserving property of supremum, we obtain
$$sup_{y, z in U_x} |f(y) - f(z)| le frac{varepsilon}{2} < varepsilon$$
Next, since $X$ is locally compact Hausdorff, we can choose a compact neighbourhood $K_x$ and open $V_x$ such that $$x in V_x subseteq K_x subseteq U_x$$
Now by lemma 3 of this question (please check!),
we can pick a compact $G_delta$ set $G_x$ such that $$x in V_x subseteq K_x subseteq G_x subseteq U_x$$
Observe that ${V_x}_{x in X}$ is an open cover for $X$.
By compactness of $X$, there is a finite subcover ${V_{x_1}, dots, V_{x_n}}$. Since each $V_{x_j} subseteq G_{x_j}$, ${G_{x_1}, dots, G_{x_n}}$ is also a finite cover. Hence ${G_{x_1}, dots, G_{x_n}}$ is a finite compact $G_delta$ cover. Besides, since each $G_{x_j} subseteq U_{x_j}$, we have $$sup_{y, z in G_{x_j}} |f(y) - f(z)| < varepsilon$$
Finally, let $$begin{align}
mathcal{P} = {&B_1 cap dots cap B_n mid \
&B_j = G_{x_j} text{ or } X setminus G_{x_j} text{ with } B_1 cap dots cap B_n neq emptyset}
end{align}$$
We can see that $mathcal{P}$ is a Baire partition. Fix $B_1 cap dots cap B_n in mathcal{P}$. We have $B_1 cap dots cap B_n subseteq G_{x_j}$ for some $G_{x_j}$. If not, we would have $$B_1 cap dots cap B_n = (X setminus G_{x_1}) cap dots cap (X setminus G_{x_n}) = emptyset$$ contradicting $B_1 cap dots cap B_n$ being nonempty. Hence $$begin{align}
sup_{y, z in B_1 cap dots cap B_n} |f(y) - f(z)| &le sup_{y, z in G_{x_j}} |f(y) - f(z)| \
&< varepsilon
