 Everything Is in readiness for the biggest political gathering ever wit messed in the territory. For the first time the Republicans and Democrats will hold their territorial conveaii ons at the same time and place, and Bis bee is to be congratulated upon the opportunity of having within her gates the prominent men of the terri tory of both political parties. The ob- ject of having both conventions meet at the same time is for the purpose of taking vigorous and united action by both parties on the paramount is- sue in the approaching campaign that of ioint-statehood. It need not be surprising if both parties adopt identically the same plank with refer SHCS tO tlllS QuSSQOu.
 Both parties will be called on 10 meet several new issues in the mak- ing of their platforms.
