SPEAKING of Gov. Mckinley the
New York Sun says: 1.-The personal
popularity of William Mckinley in
Ohio is without precedent in that
state, and almost without parallel
elsewhere. He seems to grow strong
er with the voters every year. His
denomination for governor by acclama-
tion is now conceded, and it is believ-
ed he will have from 10000 to $4,000
majority. There is a dearth of de-
mocratic opponents willing to take
the nomination against him. Nc
Kinley, like Randall and other pop
ular advocates of the protective
system, is poor man, though its
opponents declare that protection is
a device TO enrich the few at the ex-
pense of the many. These opponents
are, for the most part, rich men, Imade
opulent by fees, franchises, inheri-
tances, or foreign investments"

where the water comes from we shall have
to go to the pump house, a little way to
the south, but just without Machinery

and stop short in sheer amazement, just
as we stop at many other places in this ex-
position where they have displayed such
mighty dimensions and forces.
There are four huge pumps here. They
are astonishingly large. One IS assigned
especially to the service OF the fountains,
though the other three, any or all Of them,
may be used for this purpose; and this one
is the leviatAan OF the lot. It rises before
the eye like six-story house. By actual
measurement it is fifty-one feet high, and

as a vertical compound low duty pumping
engine The high-pressure cylinder IS two
and half and the low pressure cylinder
five feet in diameter. The stroke, Sc 70

pumps are located near by, and the power
of all together may be turned on the
water mains in case Of fire. How much
water do you suppose these four monsters
