The United States Marshalship.

The President last week apnonted Charles r.
Harmon, of Biddeford, U. s. Marshal for Maine.
We had thought the choice might fall on Capt
Charles Baker, of this city. Mr.. Baker was in
Washington recently and had a conference with
the President, who questioned Mr.. Baker closely
in regard to his having been sheriff, and spoke
particularly of the Captains war record. Capt.
Baker was the only one of the numerous candi-
dates who served in the army during the war of
the rebellion, and this fact gave his friends much
encouragement, but they forgot that war record
on the Union side has no weight with Democrat
