WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-The Posts Gin
cinnati special says: Last night the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee completed its
convass of Hamilton County. The poll is
the most complete ever made by any poiiti-
cal organization. and was astonis hingly far
reaching in such information. The poll is
all the more interesting from the fact that
the friends OF Governor Campbell seem con-
fident of his reelection, providing the Re-
publicans do not carry this county by an
overwhelming majority. According to this
Republican poll, counting all the Demo-
Gratis as voting for Governor Campbell and
giving him far the best tas to the doubtful
voters, Mckinley will carry this county by
about 1900. 1t will be understood that these
calculations are based upon expressions of
Republicans that they intend voting for Nc
Kinley and of taking it for granted that all
the Democrats will vote for Campbell. AS
to the latter that remains to be seen. In
making the polls the Republican Com
mittee employees were more than

county two years ago for Campbe Il, that
gentleman's plurality in the State being
about 5000 in excess of what he received in
this county.

1t is expected that there will be a post

reason given for this is that there will be at
least two of the Justices absent and posi-
bly, three. Justice Gray, who has been i'll
with the typhoid fever, will not be able to
attend, and the Chief Justice is expected
to remain away on account of the serious
illness of his daughter IN Chicago, whose
conditi on is critical.
