DRIsKILL's HOTEL.

Alderman Platt, OF the special COM
mittee on Mr.. Driskills proposition to
purchase the lot on which the engine
house of Washington company is stu
ated, for $1,000, allowing the fire COM
pany the proceeds of the sale of the
building, as well as occupancy
until preparations for building the
new hotel were commenced, reported
verbally in favor of the proposition
and spoke earnestly in its support.
Aid. Schuber thought this would be
giving the property to Mr.. Driskill;
that the city had paid upward of
$4,000 for the lot, and the house was
worth $4,000, and that the property
was now worth fully fifteen thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Mas was In favor of selling
the property to Mr.. Driskill, If he
would provide them suitable position
centrally located, for the removal of

the chair decided that any action
on the matter was out of order, as no
written report was before the coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Platt urged that action be
taken, and commended that the cree
ton of this hotel meant an increase
in the value of city property every
where; that parties having money to
spend would not stay in Austip. on
account of the absence of Grst-class
hotel accommodating. He stated
| that San Antonio was willing to do

Alderman Hill was opposed to foo
great haste, even if Mr.. Driskill was
thinking of going away. He thought
the fire committee should be heard
from with reference to the value OF
the property, and their ability to pro.
vide another location.
The chair insisted that action could
not be taken except on written re
port.

a Black Republican Party Suggested
Savannah News.
Mr.. NOrcross' white Republican party
does not appear to have attracted much
attention in this or in any other Southern
State, but it has called out some rather
bitter criticisms on the Republican method
of dealing with the negroes from the ne
gro organs of the North. The New York
Globe. for instance, which has been very
Independent in tone for year or more,
tells the Southern negroes to accept the
conditions which Mr.. Norcross is endeav-
oring to establish, and to organize an
out-and-out Black Republican party.
The Globe feels certain that the negroes
can get along much better without white
Republicans than the Republican party
can get along without its negro allies.
1t points out the fact that the negroes
gave the Republicans Ohio and Indiana
in the October elections Of 1880, and as
serts if these States had not gone Repub-
lican in October of that year the Repub-
ican party could not have carried them
in November. It goes further. and SAYS
that the Republican victory in the two
States named in October gave New York
to the Republicans in November The
/ statement of the Globe is not wild. There
! are about Il. 900 negro voters in Ohio and
about 10000 in Indiana. They voted
with the Republicans and enabled them
/ to carry those States. In fact, it would
not be too much for the negroes to claim
that they were instrumental in giving
the Republican party two Presidents, be-
cause Hayes majority over Tilden in
1876 was only 1915, while, as already
shown, the negro vote in Ohio, which
was given to Hayes, was nearly twice
that. The Globe thinks that the negroes
hold the balance of power, and that if
they are shrewd they will organize indie
pendently and throw their vote to the
party that will do the most for them. 1t
Is noticeable that some of the Republi-
can leaders are afraid the negroes will
act on the advice of the Globe, and they
are advising that in States where the ne
goes have large number of voters they
be allowed a certain number of delegates
to Chicago. The negroes have no par
ticular reason for clinging to the skirts
of the Republican party. The crumbs OF
patronage that fall to them amount tC
very little.
