MAY BE ELECTED THE
 CHAIRMAN
Maricopa Wants Nothing But Endorsement of kibbey's
 Administration. |

From Mohave to Yuma and Apache to Cochise they are here-the Republi- cans from every county of the Terri tory. And for the most part they are for Cooper for delegate to congress and for single statehood.
 The delegates from Yuma and San ta Cruz counties are coming in for tfie' greatest amount of interest, owing to the fights that are expected to come up in the convention between the con- tending factions from these respective counties.
 Maricopa delegation is here to ask the sole favor of an unanimous en- dorsement of Gov. Kibbey's admins tration. Aside from this Maricopans claim that they are out for nothing more and will seek no further fayors at the hands of the convention. Speak ing of the feeling among his delega- ton, a prominent Maricopan last night said: We are open to consider any proposition from the convention and want nothing more than Gov. Kibbey's endorsement and single statehood"
 In reply to question as to whether Copper would be opposed by a nom inee from Maricopa. the delegate had the following to say: T know of no other aspirant for the honor."
 Pressed as to whether Morrison would be put forward Si9 opposition to Cooper, this gentlemaf stated that he had been informed that Morrison would not go before the eiconvention as a nominee for any office.
 Cochise Republicans have already put themselves on record as being un- qualifedly in favor of the endorsement of the Kibbey administration.
 Col W. S. Sturgis. of Tucson. win in all probability gain the support of the Republican convention for the chairmanship. At an early hour last evening, no opponent had been chosen to run against him for the honor. but 1t was not altogether out of the ques- tion that Robert E. Morrison might be put forward.
 Thomas E. Campbell, of Yavapai, is being prominently mentioned for secretary and thus far there seems to be no material opposition to his eiec- ton to that office.
 Ex-Judge E. A. Hayes stands alone of the siy. delegates from Santa Crrz for single statehood Opposed to Hayes is Allen T. Bird, notorious throughout the entire Territory for his views on jointure. Bird carries with him the proxies of four delegates besides being himself a regularly elected delegate. Hayes Is a tried fighter in the politiacl arena and that Birds campaign in favor of jointure will not go unchallenged is fore gone conclusion. .s -0p,

While Governor Kibbey and Attor- ney General Clark are neither one in attendance upon the Republican Con- vention today they will receive a fat. tering endorsement at the hands of the Republican party of Arizona.
 For the past two years Gove-:lor kibbey and his Attorney General have been in the lime light owing to the increased assessment placed upon the mines of the territory by action of the Territorial Board of Equaliza- ton.
 Three weeks ago it was reported that Governor Kibbey and his terri tcrial administration would not be en. dorsed by the Republican convention, but friends of the governor and sev- eral prominent leaders of the party put stop to this effort on the part of a few. It is the program that the resolution endorsing the territorial administration shall come from a member of the Cochise county delega. tion. Governor Kibbey is at present in the east but he has already placed his stamp of approval on the Republi. can program which will be carried out in this city today.

Wilson last night seated in front of the Copper Queen hotel T have been to many Democratic con ventions in the Territory. during the past ten years, but don't think I ever saw the Democrats more closely unit ed and in more perfect harmony than they are on this occasion"
 "Coconino County is here solid for Mark Smith and single statehood, said Henry F. Ashurst, chairman of the delegation from that county. This is going to be a Democratic year by increased majorities in all counties in the Territory. The Democratic and indeDendent voters of Arizona are with the Democratic party in Arizona this year on the statehood issue, and that is the paramount issue in the ap- preaching campaign"
 .,Old Graham will be found in line with increased majorities for the Democratic party" said Hon. George Oiney. a delegate from Graham coun- ty. Graham will give Mark Smith not less than five hundred majority in No yember."
 The two prominent figures in both territorial conventions did not reach Bisbee yesterday. Mark Smith, the unanimous choice of the Democratic convention. was detained in Tucson. but will arrive at 9:30 o'clock this morning Col Sturgis. the National committeeman of the Republican party for Arizona is also absent but is due to arrive this morning Several inn portant questions regarding the Re publican platform are being held up pending his arrival.

ki z M Ea'' HOT CONTEST |S PROMISED IN
 YUMA C0..
Nine Contenders Will Fight for Seats in Today's Rep.
 Convention.

When the committee on credentials of today's Republican convention gets down to work. it will come to snag when the credentials of the Yuma del- egation are presented. There has been serious difference of opinion down by the banks of the Colorado and beside the regularly CD appointed delegates. headed by Thomas E. MOiloy. there will be clamoring for admission to the convention nine sons of Yuma county, who contend that they were euchred out of fair chance for representation to this convention, and who will back their contentious by affidavits and credentials galore to show that Malloy handled the appointment of delegates in a high-handed manner and did not act within the letter of the law in some of his moves to beat them. The contesting delegation is headed by Burt Dunlap and Mayor De Mund of Yuma
 What reply will be made by the Malloy following is difficult to con- lecture, but it is an assured thing that he warmest fight of the convention will take place on this point unless some one backs down and does 1t at the opening of hostilities.
 The Malloy crowd are charged with some fragrant transgressions of the fighter in the political arena and that foc Q bitter fight. It is said of the Moiloy delegation. as the Yuma regulars" have been known, that they have usurped every known right of the county central committee to further their ends. that they have indiscrimi- tried and true Republicans. only to put in their stead men from outside the party and without the confines of the territory.

The ground work of the actisn of the Democratic Convention today was partially mapped out at meeting of the prominent Democrats of the Ter ritory held in the pariors of the Cop per Queen Hotel last evening.
 Col. ]. F. Wilson, of Prescott, twice the leader of a Democratic victory in this Territory, is to be made perman- ent chairman of the convention. Del egate Roper. of Maricopa county, will he the secretary of the convention, and Frank Baxter, of Yuma, and R. s. McClay, of Douglas, will be assistant secretaries.
 The Democratic convention today gives promise of being regular old fashioned Democratic love feast. The party is unanimous in it's opposition to joint statehood, and 1t is not likely that a dissenting voice will be heard in the opera house today when the convention adopts plank in the Ter ritorial platform condemning the pol fey of the Republican party of the United States in its effort to join Arizona and New Mexico together as one state.
 All of the old democratic leaders or the Territory are here. From the north comes Henry Ashurst. John Dillon. Reese Ling, Col. Wilson. Dr. Whiteside and score of others From Maricopa there Is Sam Webb, Bullard. Brady O'Neill, Dr. Hughes From Graham, George Olney, Ben Crawford. Will Webb, w. W. Pace. VIII Parks and many others who are familiar figures at every Democratic conven. ton for the past ten years.

CONVENTIONS 5 WILL MEET AT
 F O'CLOCK
Will Convene at Pythian Castle and Demo- crats at Opera House A Stormy Session for G. 0. P.

All day yesterday delegates poured into the city on every train. The street were crowded with representa- tives from every county in the territo- ". and the hotels and lodging houses of the city are crowded to their utmost capacity.
 The Copper Queen hotel presents an animated appearance. Banners are strung around the lobby announcing the headquarters of the various com mittees. of delegates and cnairmen of delegations, and little knots of deie- gates are grouped around the lobby and about the street corners.
 Both territorial conventions are well attended. Many have come from a distance to see the sights of the greatest city of the territory and expressions of surprise and admira- tion for the business activity display ed are heard on every hand.
 Both conventions will meet today at twelve o'clock noon. The Repub- hcan convention will be called to or. der in the Pythian Castle. on O. K. street, opposite the Review office Mayor Caven will deliver the address of welcome at the Republican conven- tion and Hon. F.. E. Elfingwood will welcome the, Democratic delegates on behalf of the City of Bisbee.
 Territorial Chairman w. s. .Sturgis will preside at the Pythian Castle and from indications last night the Terri ktdrizl Republican Convention gives promise of stormy session from the beginning. Contesting delegations are here from two counties, Yuma and Santa Cruz, the regular delega- tions being avowed joint statehood men. The threat Is openly made that the joint statehood delegates arc to be unseated by the Republicans Du. Bird and Archibald promise vigor. ous fight.
 The Democratic Convention will meet at the Opera House and will be called to order by Chairman Ellin' wood. Territorial Secretary. J. P. Dillon will read the call. and there IS every indication that the Democrats are getting together today for m old. fashioned love feast.
 Short sessions will be held by both conventions and immediately follow ing the report of the committee on credentials, a recess will be taken for lunch and the speech making VII rot be commenced until late in the af ternoon and may last until the nish' session
 Delegates who remain in Bisoee on Friday will be taken for sight seeing trip about the city. including the mines and public buildings. and excursion rates are on for Cananea and Douglas should any of the dele gates desire to take side trip.

WANTS MORE DEMOCRAT
 DELEGATES
Will Introduce Resolution in Convention Giving Counties Returning Democratic Ma jorities Extra Delegates.

George Stoneman, representing Gila county in the Democratic Territorial carrying in his inside pocket thirteen proxies, will make a fight in the Democratic convention to- day in favor of increased represents ton in conventions for the solid Dem- ocratic counties. This would mean that Gila, Graham and Cochise would be assured of increased representation in future conventions, and according to MT. Stoneman, would be a stni fur ther inducement for the Democrats in these counties, who have led the par ty to victory in campaigns in the past, to renew their efforts in this direction with increased vigor.
 T can not see the fairness" said Mir. Stoneman, "of Maricopa county, for instance, who very seldom gives the Democratic nominee for congress majority, to come to a Territorial convention and have more to say re- garding the platform to be adopted, and the candidate to be nominated, than the Democrats of Graham. Co chise and Gila, who must get out and elect the ticket.
 q believe the Democrats in the Democratic counties should have the majority voice, and l shall introduce a resolution in the. convention provid- ing that one delegate additional shall be apportioned to the Democrats ir counties where a majority of fifty Democratic votes are cast. For in stance, If Gila county should give Mark Smith majority of three hun dred votes at the next election, Gila county would be entitled to six extra delegates in the. next Territorial Dem ocratic convention"
 This is not the first time that MT. Stoneman has introduced this idea into a territorial convention. but just as often has the proposition met with defeat.
 Under the rule to be adopted by the convention, all resolutions will be re- ferred to the Committee on Resolu- tions without debate. and as MT. Stoneman will no doubt be a member of the Committee on Resolutions and Platform he will be afforded the op- portunity to father his resolution be fore the committee. The plan pro posed by MT. Stoneman should meet with approval from the large Demo cratic counties, but its success is prob lematical.
 Besides MT. Stoneman, the only oth- Ter Democratic delegate from Gila county is MT. Si Byrne, deputy sher. if of Gila county, and together with MT. Stoneman they control the Gila county vote in the convention

COL. PICKETT TO
 MAKE NOMINATING SPEECH.

Unless the program of the Demo cratic convention is changed at the last minute Hon. J. H. Pickett, a Democratic wheel horse, or 1omb- stone, the old home of Mark Smith, will have the honor of placing in nom ination the next Delegate to Congress from Arizona. Col Pickett is one of the best public speakers in Arizona and will be heard on the stump in Co chise county this fali. He has been a life long friend of A-izona's dele gate and it is fitting and proper that his lomira'ion should come from a citizen of his old time home in Co chise county.

Thomas outweighed, OUt-reached, out

had him IN such a helpless state in the
tenth round that Spider Kelly, Of
Herberts' corner clambered into the
ring and acknowledged defeat.
Herberts, who has had larger experi-
ence in the professional ring than his
opponent, tried TO get in his best licka
early. Thomas was nervous and awk-
ward. and Herberts sent home a few
body punches.
In the second round Thomas steadied
himself and hsd the better of the mill
ing at All stages. He countered every
time Herberts led, and Jared his man
with stiff left facers and hard right
crosses. Thomas increased his lead
from the third on. Herberts then tried
stand-away work, but Jared no better.
In the tenth round Herberts took a
desperate chance He went al Thomas
