Perham vs.. Kimball.

Can any thinking or sensible man give
good reason why Charles p. KimbaII should
be Governor OF Maine rather than Sidney
Perhan? Both OF these gentlemen are
honest men. good neighbors, good citizens,
aud respectable politicians Mr.. Kimbsll.
no doubt, would make very good Cover
nor, but Mr.. Perham we know does do
this, and why should any one, Republican
or Democrat, desire 4 change! A change
for the sake OF a change. is the merest
nonsense. Governor Prrham is more pop-
uiar to-day than when he entered upor the
duties OF his Office. The people OF all
parties see that he Is an honest public
ofiicer, that he has the interest and welfare
oil the State at heart, that he is a capable.
efficient, modest, and safe Chief Magis-
trate, and therefore many men even OF the
Democratic party will be content to let
him be reelected Why should they not I?
What is 70 be gained BY a change? Mr..
himball, as already said, is q respectable
well meaning citizen, but would he make
better or even as good a governor as does
Governor Perham5 He has never been
tried, he has had but little experience in
public life. and so therefore the people OF
Maine for this year at least, will be con-
tent TO let well enough alone. This seems
70 De their verdict as far as we can learn
what their judgment is; and it is q wise
one too.

The Sheriff Question.

Mr. EDITOR The friends of Sheriff
Squirting lay great stress upon the petition
signed by SO many of the citizens OF Ellis
worth in his favor; and perhaps this may
be having more influence in other towns
than 1t is really entitled to. The real facts
are, that the petition was hurriedly got up
before any interest was felt in the matter |;
and while nearly two hundred Of the names
are those OF democrats, the opponents Of
Mr.. Squirting are confident that q large
portion Of the Republicans upon the list
will not sustain him in view Of the danger
to the party, and the manifest objections
70 his re-nomina ion. As proof of this
II Is well known in Ellsworth that those
who oppose M. Squirting are willing, and
propose to select ticket composed In
part, or wholly. Of names found upon Mr..
