GEORGE AND M'GLYNN.


Likely to Result Therefrom.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE Times says that
the speech of DIR. McGlynn at Pythagoras Hall,
Thursday evening, breaking away entirely from
Henry George, and declaring that he longer
wanted him presidential candidate, has
caused great excitement in the ranks OF the
United Labor party, and from the opinions ex-
pressed it is not improbable that split will
take place in the party. some taking sides with
Henry George and others with DR.. McGlynn.
The Socialists simply delighted over the
quarrel between the prophet and priest of the
United Labor party, and remark jubilanty, ''we
told you so" Mr.. Jonas, of the Volks Zeitung,
said that be hoped the different labor organiza-
tions would now unite in politics. The friends
of Henry George, while they are astounded at
the suddenness with which Mr.. McGlynn has
broken away from his friend, seemed
to have been prepared for split
between the leaders and they ascribe it
to more than one reason. Generally they
lay the blame upon Gaybert Barnes. the secre-
tary of the Land and Labor party, whose head
quarters are at the Cooper Institute, and where

Barnes, they say, is itching to get into the
service of the Blaine crowd. and to make all the
capital he can out of it. He wants to make the
United Labor party tail to the Blaine Repub-
licans. He knew that he could not use Henry
George. because the latter's free-trade princi-
pies were in direct opposition to the high pro-
tective tariff doctrines of the Plumed KING ht
and upon which issue the Republicans intended
to make the fight. He had done some work for
Henry George in reading the proofs of his
work. Protection and Free Trade" and he
knew well his positive nature. But with Dr.
McGlynn it was different. DR.. McGlynn was a
priest. unacquainted with practical politics
and the ways of the world, and he could
manage him moro easily. So he made up his
mind to estrangement between the
two leaders, and, if possible, to get Henry
George thrown out of the party. He insinuated
himself into the graces of DR.. McGlvnn and
gradually instilied subtle poison into him How
does DR.. Barnes intend to deliver over the
United Labor party to the Blaine crowds Why,

Democratic party ia doubtful States. It
