MUNcIE, Aug 10-Upon the face of the re-
turns from the primary election held in this
county, op the first Monday in April last, Mr. j.
N. Templer was nominated as the Republican
candidate for Judge of the Delaware Circuit
Court In accordance with rules adopted by the
mass convention held previous to that
time, Mr.. Mellette, who was but a few
votes short of the nomination, preferred
charges against Mr.. Templer, alleging that he
had secured his nomination by the corrupt use of
money and whisky. The central committee in
vestigated the charges and found him guilty,
whereupon Mr. Mellette in accordance with
rules adopted, was made the candidate Templer
denied the authority of the commit
tee to remove him from the tick
ct, and continued in the race
Sentiment has been greatly divided, and much
bad feeling has existed. until it looked as if
neither gentleman could be elected over the
Democratic candidate In order to restore
harmony in the party Mr.. Melette, now the
recognized candidate OF the party proposes to
withdraw from the contest, provided Mr.. Tenn
pier will do the same. He has addressed let
ter making this proposition to the
Republican central committee, copy of which
has also been transmitted to Mr.. Templer The
publication of this letter to-day has created quite
a sensation In political circles. The proposition
made by Mr.. Melette is regarded as fair and
highly honorable to him, and Republicans gener-
ally insist that the only thing Mr.. Templer can
do will be to accept its terms, and no longer
stand in tie way of success
