Ah soon as the mists of the last primary election bad sufllclently cleared to foreshadow ttie nomination of Judge.I. II. Karle lo Unit' ed States Senate, some ol his strongest supporters in and around here determined to celebrate the event with a banquet in his honor, and last Monday night was agreed upon as the time for the jollification. Invitations were sent to many ltel'ormers and Conservatives, the most of whom were present. It was as foreign to the wishes and intentions of those who contribute to as well as those who participated in this Catherine of citizens, t.hat it should be anything else than an antifactional one, as anything could possibly he, and it is much to be regretted that others took a different view, for it was honed to be strictly a family allalr, in which all would join in making it. an enjoyable occasion.
