Our Candidate for Sheriff.

Henry Pavson. of Montvle, the Republican
candidate for Sheriff of Waldo county, is a
man whose record, civil and military, will
bear the closest inspection and whose charac-
ter coinmcnds him to the esteem and conf
dencc of his fellow citizens wherever he is
known. He is man who not only believes in
what is right but will do what is right, and he
has the necessary business traits and decision
to qualify him for the position to which the
Republicans of this county propose to elect
him on the second Monday of next month. In
1868 Mr.. Payson was at school in Freedom,
peting his course, he went to Montville and
enlisted, as Freedoms quota was then full
He was in the Red River expedition under
Gen. Banks, and shared the dangers and
priyations of that campaign. Later he served
under Sheridan in Virginia and participated in
the many severe engagements up and down
the Shenandoah valley. On his return home
he moved to Montvle where he has since re-
sided. In addition to his farm abors he has
taught eighteen successful terms of school;
and starting with nothing but his brain and
muscle has acquired comfortable home. Mr..
Payson is member of the G. A. H. and of the
Grange, Mason, and an active Good Tenn
plar. He has always been a strict temperance
titled to. and we believe will receive, the unit

The Water Question.

During Il recent visit to the journal office +.
+. Richards. Esq. ot Camden. read the a,lver-
ti>ement calling for proposals for a water sup.
ply for Belfast, and expressed some surprise
at its tenor. In his opinion the first essen
tial is TO provide for supply of pure water
and that is an opinion in which all familiar
with the subject will concur. The money en-
pended in introducing salt water or surface
water would he mainly thrown away, a. no
sooner was either system introduced than
there would be demand for good water. at
any price. Mr.. Richards is a stakeholder in
the new Camden and Rockland Water Com
pany. whose source of supply i, Oyster
Pond. An analysis shows that the water is
neary a. pure as that from the Poland Springs,
and this has caused it to be eagerly sought for
by consumers. The company are now supply
ing Rockland and will extend their service to
the adjoining towns of Camden and Thomaston.

The Granite Industry and Free Trade.

There are no men in Maine who would suffer
more from the carrying out of Democratic free
trade ideas as embodied in Morrisons tariff bill
than those engaged in the granite industry.
And by this we mean not only the employers
but the workmen. Even under the present
tariff we are informed that stone can be quar-
ried and worked in Scotland and landed in New
York for less than the same article would cost
from Maine quarries the higher rates of wages
paid here covering duty and freight charges.
Under the Morrison bill dressed stone is adj
mtted duty free, and should this become a law,
Scotland will furnish this country with worked
granite for buildings and monuments and
Maine quarries will be deserted. And not
alone the granite industry, but all the staple
products Of Maine would be injuriously affect
ed by the Morrison bill, which was no doubt
purposely framed to destroy New England in
tereStS.
