The Republican National Platform Pro.

OBJ. Robinson for not eating with
the negro, and who, as a member of
the National Republican Convention,
did not 'say one word in opposition to
the negro plank in the platform, pro-
posing to make the negro an Issue in
the campaign"
DR.. J. j. Mott, formerly Republican
State Chairman; Hon. r. u. Linney,
ex-Representative in Congress, and
other prominent Republicans will not
support Blackburn. And now comes
forward Capt. Charles Price, of Sails
bury, the ablest Republican in North
Carolina, who declares against Black
burn. In an interview in the Salisbury
Sun, Capt. Price says:
II have not heard a single Demo
crat in this county who says he will
not support Newland. A good many
Republicans in this county will not
support Blackburn and at least one
third of them will not be at the cleo
ton. The fatal thing to Blackburn is
his being in Chicago, a prominent
member of the North Carolina dele
cation, and not saying one word in
opposition to the negro plank in the
platform, proposing to make the nc
gro an issue in the campaign. How
can he meet that? Every Republican
in the State said if the amendment
was adopted he would acquiesce in
the result. The man who stands up
in this district and tries to make The
Watts bill an issue in a campaign for
Congress will be Kissed and run off the
stump. He would make himself a fool
This is my opinion. | have not changed

In addition to the above, Capt.
Price declared that he will support
Newland and give his influence to the
Democratic candidate. To the CORE
spondent of the Charlotte Observer,
Capt. Price said in reply to a question
whether the report that he is to take
the stump against Blackburn be true:
mo, L will not, cannot; but If any
body comes here espousing Black
burns cause, L may divide time VITA

A R0nN tn RALEIGH
A BOON TO RALEIGH
The Long Needed Addition of Improved
and Modern Hotel Accommodations
in Siqht---The Marlboro House
Success to be Dupli-
Gated.

Here is a piece of news hot from the
bat which will make "a home run with
Raleigh people:
Howell Cobb, the proprietor of the
Marlborough, has bought the Park
Hotel and will improve, remodel AND
modernize the same, thus giving to the
city two we'll kept hotels under one
progressive management.
Mr.. Henry Page, of Aberdeen, was
here on Saturday last to meet MT.
Cobb. They went over the ground
together, came to terms, and struck a
binding bargain, in accordance with
which S. F. Mordecai, Esq, is now en-
gagged in preparing papers for the
transfer.
While the papers have not been
formally signed, the trade is closed,
the reputation and standing OF the
parties concerned rendering the de-
livery of the deeds a matter of incl
dent only.
The Park Hotel, built some ten years
ago, has had a changeful experience,
having been under several manage
ments, none of which succeeded
chiefly for lack of means-in making
a success of their venture. 1t has been
handicapped both by reason of certain
architectural defects and by the ne
cessity of running in competition with
the long established "old Marlborough
House" which had become a habit
with the people who came to Raleigh
on business. Before Mr. Cobb took
hold. the Marlborough was literally
cussed but always patronized-the
motto of the travelling fraternity
seeming to be with all her faults,
love her still.
Since Mr.. Cobb has remodeled the
hotel, it has been one of the best kept
and best managed hostelries in the
South, and his success in it is fail
omen of that he will make with the
Park
With ample means and the long eX
perience in hotel work to let him know
what is needed and how TO provide
needs. Mr. Cobb will no doubt soor
have the Park as popular as the var
borough, and with two such hotels as
he can run, Raleigh will have taker
another step towards removing re-
proach under which it has long suf-
fercd.
1t is not yet known what price was
paid for the property or anything OF
the details or the cost of the contem-
plated improvements. Possibly, when
the papers are filed, somewhat OF these
facts may be learned in the mean
time it is sufficient to apprise the Raj
eigh people of the two welcome facts
above stated.
