The Governor Question.

Mr.. Editor:-At the last Gubernatorial
Convention, nearly one halt OF the Re-
publican delegates voted for Hon Sidney
Pcrham. rs the nominee for Governor,
Gen. Chamberlain having then occupied
the position the usual period. Mr.. Per-
ham, il is well understood, did not seek
the position, and made no personal efforts
10 secure the nomination. He was made
candidate, without regard to his person
nj wishes. BY the people of Maine. In
the result of that Convention, Mr.. Per
ham and his iliends, not only 'acquicsced,
but he, and they. gave it their hearty
support, and certified at the election, the
promise made by YOU, ~ the friend of
Mr.. Perham in that Convention, that he
aud his friends would use all fair and
honorable means to secure the election OF
Gen. Chamberlain Everybody knows,
that any holding back OF the part OF the
declared minority of that convention, or
even lWke'CGrm support Of lis nominee,
would not Only have been highly damag-
ing To Gen Chamberlain, but il would
have made the Third party powerin the
State That efforts wcro made by those
opposed 20 the reelection of Gov. Cham
bcrlain. TO induce Mr. Perham TO 'Damn
him with faint praise, may well be in
terrcd, for such WAS the fact That those
efforts were futile, and that Mr.. T., dis
regarding everything. except fealtyto tho
great union Republican party, marched
steadily on in supper, of It's nominee is
equally true. 50 much for the last can
vSSs
N0lC the question assumes new phase.
Gen. Chamberlain declines to be candi-
date OF any party for Governor-and the
nomination is conceded to lie between Mr..
Perham and Gen. Herscy, of Bangor.
Under such circumstances what is the
duty of Gov Chambcrlain's friends? As
one of them. unhesitaiingly answer
The qualifications Of the candidates be-
ing equal (and that is no great concession
on the part of Gen. Herscy's Iricnds) it is
Our duty to Mr.. Perham and his friends,
to repay TO him aud them. the generous
support afforded Us in the last canvass.
