The Republican State Committee will meet
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel shortly before noon
to-day. A good many statesmen were on hand
last night. Chairman John n. knapp wearing
his usual immaculate white tic, paid visit to
ex-senator Plat. Senator Iassett wore con-
spicuous white top Goa. lie, too paid visit
to Mr.. l'att. George Is Dunn OF Binghamton
loed on lounge beside his old friend
Deputy Collector Burr, and any number Of
other statesmen, come from Now York city and
the others from the interior. Not one of Thorn
In conversation would admit that thoro was
any particular significance in the call OF the
committee at this time. Similar innocence
prevailed the night before tho committee met
and had tho memorable rumpus over tho
Worlds Fair bill. According to Gen. Knapp
to-day's event will be little moro than an after
noon tea at which the delegates to tho COM
mittee will have a little talk on the ReSistra-
tion and Ballot Reform bills.
From all that could be learned II will he

annals Of tho State will not be appreciated in
Its fullest extent until the final vote for tho
Senator to succeed william NJ. Evarts is cast
at Albany. The new registration law und the
ballot reform law will without doubt be ex-
haustiby discussed. Senator Saxton is eX-
pected to-day. and the committeeman are to

tho Stale Committee will have something TO
say as an organized body against the seven
teen Assemblymen who arraycd themselves
from first ~ last against Senator laSsctt and
tho measures he introduced at Albany last
winter.
Gen, Knapp was seen lowering about tho
desk OF the IwG pretty typewritcrs in the read

furnish the General with stacks If tyre writ

that some of the Generals resolutions today
will be fired ut the seventeen kicking Assem-

Gibbs or their followers will be mentioned by
name. but unless the programme has changed
