 The republican state convention will meet in Hartford tonight at o'clock in the Auditorium on Asylum street, and will be called to order by Chairman Gates. Senator o. H. Platt will proba- ply preside over the convention and will address the delegates. At the close of the speech a secretary and probably two assistants will be elected, perfect ing the organization. Then will come the appointment of the regulation com mittees-on credentials, permanent or ganization and platform and it is eX- pected that committee on rules will be appointed though this committee is not always formed at the convention.
 The committees are made up of one delegate from each senatorial district. After these committees are made up and such resolutions as may be offered are properly referred, the meeting will probably adjourn until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning, when the committees will at once go about their work.
