The Milwaukee Exposition

The Third Annual Exhibition by
the Milwaukee Industrial Exposition
Association, which opens or Septem-
Der 9th and closes on October Goth,
promises to be far ahead of former
years, extra efforts having been made
by the management to secure new and
novel exhibits for the same, aud the
magnificent building will be filled to
overfowing with an unprecedented
display. The Art Department will be
up to the usual high standard, claim
ing the attention of visitors by the
choice pictures adjoining the walls,
many Of the most famous artists of
the world having contributed to the
galleries The machinery exhibit
promises to greatly exceed anything
yet presented, the demand for power
being SO great that the Exposition
Association have been compelled to
put in two extra engines in addition
to the large "Corliss" which has done
ali the work at the last two exhibit
tons. This year the exhibitors gen.
orally, wherever practicable, will run
their manufactures in the building,
thus demonstrating hoU an article is
made. This will prove a great attrac-
ton, and cannot fail to please as we'll
as instruct. The conservatory will
contain a fine horticultural display,
and be laid out as a beautiful garden.
Gold and silver medals are offered by
the Association for exhibits in this
department, the success of which is
already assured. The finest museum
in the country has been secured, at an
enormous expense, and will be on ex-
hibition this fall
Altogether, the Milwaukee Exposi-
ton this fall will be we'll worth visit
ing, and no one should fail to take
advantage of the low railroad rates
offered for the occasion. The prices
of admission remain the same :
twenty five and fifteen cents, one price
admitting the visitor to all parts of
the building, as there will be no extra
charge to any of the departments,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Exposition Association has been to
enormous expense in many instances
to secure desirable attractions

Colfax, Logan, Grant, L. B. Cas-
well, John Sherman and ST. John (of
Kansas received one vote each.
Twelve republican papers declined to
express their choice Two Of the
papers were for Fairchild. every time;
one for Grant and one for John Sher-
man.
1t is evident from the above that
Gen. Fairchilds is almost the unaui-
nous choice of this state for President.
That the Wisconsin people are wise in
their selection of men to FIJI the offices
of trust, at their disposal, is evident
from the present able corps Of officers.
If they had the privilege Of choosing the
president, they would chose the only
man in the U. S. which most resembles
the life and character of our late
lamented Garfield, Hon. Lucius Far
childs. In most every Republican
newspaper IN the State you see the
name of Gen. Fairchilds favorably
mentioned in connection with the
presidency.
The Fargo D. 7. Republican speaks
as follows in favor of Gen. Fairchild:
president Arthur is fairly in the field
as candidate for the Presidential
nomination by the Republican party
IN 1884, and is having a gentle boom.
It may be possible for him to secure
the prize, but inasmuch as the west
has become the political power of the
country, it would De more reasonable
to suppose that the standard bearer
will be selected from some one Of the
western States. There is a western
statesman who could be nominated
and elected, and that is Hon. Lucius
Fairchild, of Wisconsin. He holds a
position In the front rank of American
statesman. He has a clean record.
There is not a blot upon it, and il
made President, his would be the
most popular administration since the
DAYS of Lincoln. All factions of the
party could and would unite in his
support. 1t may be inopportune to
get up boom for him so early, but
the Republican believes him to be not
only the most available candidate thai
could be selected, but one of the best
and purest statesmen of the present
time.
The Madison Journal speaks Of hin
in the following language: 1.-The
voice of the republican masses is en-
phatically for Gen. Fairchild, whose
record, military and civil, is without
blemish. On the day succeeding the
call of the president for seventy five
thousand troops TO quell the rebellion
Mr.. Fairchild rendered his services tt
the governor of the state. He served
under the three months service, anc
then re-enlisted for the war. At tht
battle of Gettysburg, he was in th,
ehickest of the contest, and lost an arm

.The Water Supply.

Ten days ago the water supply by gravitation
was cut off from the Lake, and, until the COM
pletion OF the work in September, all water
used must be pumped into a sluice and deliver
cd to the pipes. During the years 1880 to 1882
about $500 feet of brick conduit was taken nm
and relaid, leaving, to be laid this year, about
21O0 feet. The size of the new conduit is four
and half feet wide by four and half
feet high, and being laid into the lake at a
greater depth than the former one will furnish
supply of water at the lower. gate house for
the pipes without the aid of pumps. Hereto
fore, when the water was low in the lake, the
company had to put in pumping machinery in
order to supply its pipes, The water is taken
from The lake through brick conduit 5000 feet
long to tho lower gate house, from whence the
twenty and twents-six inch main pipes convey
the water to Portland

The Auburndale Thermometer.

r. B. Swift is agent for the Auburndale me-
tallic Thermometer. In the mercurial ther-
mometer the temperature acts upon single
metal; in the metallic the power is derived
from the difference of the expansion and con-
traction of two metals. The novelty lies in
and its application by machinery which cannot
err, to an index which marks the temperature
upon dial similar to that Of a clock or watch.
The instrument is under complete control; ex-
cess of action can be reduced, or want of snf-
ficient action can be inc, eased, so that the ac-
tusl change of temperature. no more and no
less, must be shown by the index.
