IN HILL COUNTY.
Chairman Fields Interviewed on the
Present Outlook.

Present Outlook.
Hillsboro, Texas November Sin an
interview with Post correspondent
Chairman w. A. Fields of the democratic
executive committee gave his opinion on
the political outlook in Hill county as
follows: THE democrats are stronger in
this county than ever, and the most in
tiuential populists are tending toward the
democratic ranks and many of them will
apply for admission into the primaries,
provided the test is not too restricted. 1t
is not yet known whether the test for 1898
will be maintained and strengthened or
whether a new one will be formed, ex-
GLIDING all who did not vote straight
democratic ticket in that year. Another
question that will be given due considera-
ton is whether or not the negro can be
admitted into the primaries. Should oc-
casion demand my casting a vote on this
question, | shall oppose it.
The congressional race will be prln-
cipally between R. L. Burke and John
D. Pitts-provided Ham Gossett does not
enter the race-and Hill county will pos
s'bly instruct for Mr.. Pitts.
There will be a large list of candi-
dates for all offices. and quite lively
race Is expected. Candidates are an
nauncing earlier than ever known in the
county's history and the race for county
judge, district judge and county clerk
will doubtless be holly contested

Mr. Charles u. Sloat. general passenger and
ticket agent of the Chicago. Rock Island and
Texas railroad calls attention to the need
of increased port facilities on the Texas
coast and thinks Houston should push her
deep water ciaims at the next meeting OF
congress He says: There is disposition
to export live stock through Gulf ports. and
when you take tho enormous bulk OF heavy
freights In the shape OF corn wheat. oats,
flour. meal. cattle, hogs, beef. pork, lumber
and cotton produced in the section OF country
tributary to Houston. it appears that any
claim you would make upon congress for as
sistance would DO considered reasonable"
Representatives of nearly every transporta-
ton interest take this view OF the matter
and testify to the necessity of giving Houston
deep water outlet. The citizens OF Houston
are alive to the Importance OF continuing the
fight that was given such an impetus by the
congressional appropriation last winter. aud
II is gratifying to know that other leading
railway men of Texas so strongly indorso
their claims 1t is generally understood that
the Rock Island intends to make Houston its
terminus, and thus add another to the dozen
railway lines that arc demanding deep water
at this point.
