APPLICATION MADE OR A CHARTER-THE MGLfSN
FACTION STILL Confident
The split in the United Labor party continues
to widen. Between Dr. McGlynn ana henry
George the gulf seems fixed and so far aS couic DC
asocrtancd yesterday there had not been the ieas'
ort made by the friends Of either SIDE 10 oriueo
it, On the contrary each faction appears W oo
bent on keeping aloof from the other' tno"sm
more in sorrow than in anger. Each side VIII
labor alone even in the great task OF aooii'h"s
poverty.
There is no quarrel, the leaders say, OF person"
Character. It is simply difference OF opinion on
orestions of policv or principle. Some OF the
smaller fry indulge in PERSONAL ORGANIZATIONS
accusations of bad faith and insincerity. but the
leaders are dumb on such matters discountcnahc-
ing any attempt to make the fight personal one
40 FRpY TRADE FOR Tnr M'GIYNN MN.
Secretary Barnes, one Of the guiding lights OF
the United Labor party and DR.. McUlynns mos.
trusted friend declined yesterday to say one worn
rejecting upon Mr.. George or his motives inc
whole matter" he added, hinges on tbis-thao
we propose to stand on the platform adopted NJ
Syracuse instead of wheeling around to support
the Democratic party simply because TVS oe"O
Cleveland came out with free-trade mahiies'o'
We maintain that this Syracuse platform Is M
tional in its scope. Indeed don't sec no" any
one can doubt it when he reads its declarations OH
spcb questions as a Government telegraph, the
ownership Of the railroads and telephones oy Vhe
Government. the single tax on land values etc
To dcpv that these are not National subjects Is
utter nonsense. Every one at the convention
understood that it was the platform on when
we should enter the National campaign
Our position is perfectly plain. We do not
propose to NEEDLE with the tariff issue at oil, re-
garding il as too trivial when compared with the
great reform on the land question. And on TINS
point wish to call attention to signed editoral
of Mr. Georges printed in " The Standard on
August 20 denouncing Patrick Ford for ABANDON
inc the canse OF the land reform because ours was
