1t has suited the Republican for wears.

the DEMOCRAT containing any such in

attend to our own business and our own
paper, and are quite willing to let the
Republican continue to neglect its own
and attend to others.
The DEMOCRAT special did not saw
what is attributed to it by few inter

only one error in the special and that
was the "battle of Pittsburg Landing

Eckley was at his home in Carrollton
for six weeks or more during the Siege
of Corinth, and started for the front

A HAPPY SOLUTION,
OF the Difficulties Besetting the
Henry George Movement,
Is Found, Say Prominent Men of That
Party, in the Withdrawal OF DIR. Ed
ward McGlynn-How the
Case Stands.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-ISpecial IL
is said by the friends of Henry Georo,
that Dr. McGlyn's desertion will prove
very beneficial to the George movement
Dr. McGlynn's activity in the move,
ment caused many Catholics who
would otherwise have favored it to re-
fuse 1t support. This largely
accounts for the falling off ia
the George vote last fall. The previous
years election occurred before DR.. Nc
Glynn was denounced by the church.
and Catholics therefore being atliberty
then to cooperate in the cause with
which he was identified. Now that DR..
McGlynn has withdrawn from the
George ranks a very happy solution of
the difficulty, from the point in view
by Georges friends has been reached
George is relieved of the burden of an
ally who was obnoxious to most Catho-
lies, and yet has observed all obliga-
tlons of friendship and is not to blame
for the breach. The land tax theory
will now appeal to the public for sup
port on its scientific merits, untram
melled by religious prejudice which un-
fortunately has become mixed up with
1t. They also state that more friendly
relations will hereafter exist between
the X. of l.. and the Henry George peo-
pie than hitherto. The number of
Catholics in that powerful labor organ
lzatlon is very large, and it was impos-
5lble for the leaders of the order to
sanction the land tax movement while
an excommunicated priest was one of
Its leaders. Insiders say the George
land doctrines are quite popular among
The knights, but for the foregoing rea-
son there has never been an effort to
take up the movement as one of the
objects of the order. Now that the
lindrance is removed it is expected
.hat many district assemblies will make
declarations favoring land tax.
