SHOWING VERY GOOD JUDGMENT

In Saving Their Money for the Slim Days That Are Coming. -Eight years ago, when the Democrats swept the country in the presidential election, a big barbecue was held in Rensselaer and two fat steers, one donated by Jaw W. Stockton and the other by the Davisson brothers, were roasted and everybody, regardless ( of race or creed or previous condition of servitude, was invited to come and partake of roast beef, sand-wlches.-'pickles and coffee, and thousands responded to the invitation and no Insults were hurled at the defeated by the victors. The Republicans, at their alleged jubilee Saturday night put up a very tame and very inexpensive celebration of the exclusive order. But perhaps our Republican friends are displaying good judgment in saving their money, with the experience of past Republican administrations and the fact that the Democrats will not return to power again for four years.
