Arrangement Of His Itinerary
 in New York
Will Arrive There Oct 16th-Stanch- fields Wobble on Imperialism Justifed-Candidates May Choose Issues-Croker is Disguised.

New York. Sept. 3O.-James K. Me Guire announces that the state commit tee has received from Chicago an answer to Frank Campbells tele- graphed inquiry about the time Mr. Bryan would give to New York state.
 "Ne are to have one week, whole week." said MT Mcclure
 That is three days more than was originally allotted. isn't it?''
 Tt is" said MT. Mcclure. Its a gain of three days. Mr Bryan will get here early on the morning of October 16 He will speak here that night. Then he goes up the Hudson to Albany. down the Delaware and Hudson to the south ern part of the state up the Lacka- wanna to Syracuse, then to Buffalo, and that's all."
 MT. Mcclure enunciated the somewhat new doctrine that a candidate may suit his own convenience as to what should be considered the paramount plank in a platform. This was aprOpos of John E. Stanchfeld, the democratic candi- date for governor, whose position and record in respect tO imperialism are in need of some elucidation. Mayor Me Gure does not agree with MT. Stanch- field In some matters. and the task of explaining the candidates utterances is not very conGeni Il to him. Neverthe- less, he did what was expected of him and found Mr. Stanchfelds justifica- ton in this doctrine of paramountcy at convenience. authority for which he found in the example of no less demo- crat than Grover Cleveland. The dec urine was uttered in the course of the following interview. which Mayor Me GuiTe granted:
 The first question was about Mir. Bryan's trip to New York. MT. Mcclure said that Bryan's itinerary in detail will be arranged hy the New York cOm- mittee.
 MT. Mcclure had something to give out about Mir. Stanchfiields labor rec ord. namely. that the worllingnen's assembly of the state of New York had given ATr. Stan hfield special mention'' two years ago for voting for seven or eight labor bills in the lower house of the legislature. The fact was recorded i7l a publication of the "Workingmen's Assembly," and. furthermore, an aster- isk was placed beside MT. Stanchfield's S name to show that i-e was absent when the vote on the eighth bill was taken. Some one mentioned that William J. O'Brien was president of the Working mems assembly. and that he was now supporting the republican ticket.
 Why make that fact prominent?" Mir. McGuire said. sarclstically. - cOmmondation of a democratic candi- date coming from a man that is sup porting the republican ticket
 But how about MT. Stanchfiald's inn perialistic speech at the Jefferson birth day dinner?" Mir. Mcclure was asked.
 MT. Stdnchfeld says that trusts is the great issue this year." the mayor replied. seriously. ''He has q right to make that the paramount issue if he chooses. The platform does nut make trusts paramount but gives it a very important place. But a candidate is not bound absolutely by the patio m In 1892, for example. Cleveland ignored the platform and formulated one of his own. I don't take any stock in the at tack on the department stores" Mr. MCGuiTe continued. "Department stores are in line with the normal concentra- tiOn of business. You cant stop tha concentration Of large amounts of capi- tai for business purposes. The evil of trusts is in the abnormal raising of prices. Now, Gates, with his wire trust, raised the price of nails $40 per 100. The building trade could not stand this. and building practically ceased. The wire trust acquired a large surplus.
 ''To sell this off Gates one day ord cred a cut of $1 in the price all over the country. That affected all the whole sale and retail dealers. The company of which I am secretary had in stock al the time 4.o00 barrels of nails There you have a case of an abnormal drop in price, one of the evils of trusts"
 Mir. Mcclure said he was booked for two speeches. one at Syracuse and one at Indianapolis. He was asked if t was true that the upstate democrats were complaining because funds were not forthcoming.
 We don't need money; the glorious principles for which we stand are sufIl- cient,' he replied, with a grin. But We take all the funds We can get, though"
 MT. Croker Was not at state head quarters today. He is said to be dis gusted. and his silence is the only eN- pressiJn of it allowed him in public
