THE GOVERNOR QUESTION this week presents
no new phases. The Harris Estey contest
is conducted with vigor in Windham lOunty,
but without sending any deluging tidals
over the State. The public generally ha ve
made up their mind that however successful
Deacon Estey may have been in accumulat-
ing wealth and doing good, bis tastes and
general attainments are not such as 10 re-
commend him very highly to the Governor

fer that a man knowing nothing of the art
of navigation should. after taking the
ships rudder, learn the points of one who
can steer. As to Colonel Mead. the people
have not yet relieved themselves of the pre-
conceived opinion that he is working clan
destlnelY for the Office. That be has friends
warmly attached to him and who would re-
jOice to see him nominated, no one pre-
sumes to deny, but We have authority for
believing that he is not himself personally
engaged in the canvass. While neither the
Grange nor the order OF Good Templars is
political in its nature, there is no reason
why Granger or a Good Templar may not
act in Il civil capacity Their suifrages and
their preferences are as much to be respect
ed a. If they were not members OF secret
order. and Yet a mans connection with
an organization whose proceedings are I'M
known, serves to create distrust IN him

That loafing Bill Hacks, of course. who
seemed to think that because she hadn

however, had applied several times Tor

Her would-be boarder laughed. and

she might put him where she pleased; and

As the old house afforded no accommo-
