(l'.\ Tflecrai'h ' ■• The TrH»':ne.]
Chicaprt. Sept. 24. 'tto t. Bannard, who was

•'I obviously cannot <tit--r upas) a detail
BjasteSßCat of my position a« this inom.-nt." said
Mr B:»iin:;rd. "I have not l>«-.-n officially notified
C mv nomination; I have not had the oppor
tunity to study the platform which was adopt
ed- Tammany has not shown its baaki r^Kardin.-j
Its candidate for Mayor and its proposed course
of action, and the Independent forces, which I
fcor* will SBppOfi me, nave not had the chance
tv declare lhe*r position. All that 1 can say
Aeflsftely srtth re»»rd to the isinpslgn is that
I liav. asforssed Mr. Parsossi and the Etepub
lican leaders In Kew V.rk that they can count
cr, met., gstfce the nsosl determined sort of flght
■which is sVithin my p-^er.
•In awm way." be added, "the issue in
New York is slniple. It seems to l>e merely a
naSdsa as to (be ability of Tammany Hall to
riaintain in power an administration which has
brought the city to c disgraceful financial con
dition. New York, has the chance to put Tara
many sown and out."
Mr Baaaard said that has advices from New
y,,rk uurs that his nomination would prove
■Sllfa. inn to all the anti-Tammany elements.
The sssniin of the Hearst forces, of course.
i« peculiar." he said. "I have beea and am now
en uunntffsium BepuDUcan. The Hearst rep
resentative quit the ooofersakoe committee which
vas illiiaaffang to "gree to a ticket and a
declaration of staaclples In the face of his
withdrawal, considering the rsasons which he
escribed, it is | cult to imagine his snpputtlng
me. There is no political or pructical possibility
t irit the Hearst interests can Biippnci the Tam
many nominee, whomsoever he may be. The
Hearst people may have to go it alone, in which
case |r. H•;lr^t might become a candidate for
Bjafur h:m«lf. BtrangW things have happened
in Hew lerk.
HAS LITTLE FEAR OF GAYNOR.
"Persons lly, I should welcome a duel between
Juitir. Gaynor. as the Tammany nomlr.ee. and
myself. I would have little fear of the reßult
lr. that case Murphy may not name Justice
Gaynor. Hi? only reason, as the political lead
ers understand, is that Tammany throws a sop
to Brooklyn, in the expectation of securing the
rest cf the ticket and the control of the Board
'ef E*tiiri.'.u. which is all that Tammany wants
tsd aJI Tammany ever has wanted.
' The real issue U down to one big dominating
joint: Is Tammany to be ijermitted to continue
it* control oi the contracts, through the Esti
bmu Board, and Is the patronage of the Con
'tro!ler's office to remain the- chief asset of the
s*simany organization?"
JJr. Bar-r.ard did not wish to give his views In
Inail on particular local issues In New York,
3e eald that to BJ6 so at this tlm* would not be
air to himself or to the convention v.hlch nom
at*.s him.
"All I can cay at this time." be said, "is that
: purpose to stand on the j>latfcrra which the
Bepablican convention formulated. I am ad-
Tisfd from Kew York that I sjaed have no f«-ar
fc making euch a s-tat^rr.ent. although I have not
