Sufficient Explanation.

Wo think onr Rensselaer cotemperary is magnifying a mole hill into a mountain. One of the candidates for the office of Circuit Prosecutor, from a county outside of Tippecanoe, was in the city several weeks since, and called theatten tion of the Judicial District to the ii.A ter. That committee, in Jheir t c*U, subsequently issued, specially recommended that candidates before the primary- elections be given their representative strength in the contention according to the vote they received. So far as we know there will be no attempt to enforce a rule which was made more through inadvertance than intention on the part of the County convention. To insist upon a nomination thus made sgaiiift the protest of the other counties of the Circuit, would do an candidate any good;- for the dissatisfaction which it would produce would surely defeat him. We think Tippecanoe County is disposed to set fairly, and that our Jasper County friend will find it so.— La* lay rite Daily Journal. All this County wants is fairness, and as it is conceded by the Journal that the rule adopted by Tippecanoe county will not be enforced in the Judicial Convention, we have only thia to say, it that is the case, a .id it is carried out in good faith, whether the nominee be Test or Vinton for Judge, or Thompson, Justice or Everett, for Circuit Prosecutor, we will support him with all our pjjght, ‘■'fbc Journal does o<>t hold itself re»-' t :i!e lor the oplicqiis of 1 its rof p. fulfilt>."— JnJ.
