ANOTHER ACCOUNT
There is a prospect of a full Convention.
The hotels are full, and delegates are crowded
for accommodations. Considerable excitement
exists as to the candidate for Governor. The
opposition to Chamberlain is not fully united.
Perham has many supporters. A special dis
patch from Augusta to the Bangor Whig this
morning announced, substantially, the defeat
oil Gen. Chamberlain. 1t created surprise,
and it is now said that IL was the work of un-
authorized parties, and that it should not have
appeared. The friends of Gen Chamberlain
claim that he will be nominated by large ma
jority. The counties east of Penobscot are re-
ported nearly unanimous for him. Penobscot
Cumberland, Kennebec, Sagadahoc, Somerset 1
and Knox are largely in his favor, Piscata-
quis, Waldo and Lincoln by small majority
Oxford and Androscoggin are largely in favor
of Mr.. Perham. York is opposed to Gen.
Chamberlain, but is divided on candidate.
II would seem that Gov. Chamberlain would
be nominated. fs.s la,a a.siaa b
