TOO FAMILIAR, Nrw York, Deo. 21.—Gaybert Barnes, secretary of the Land and Labor party, has received an invitation from S. L. Douglass, of Indianapolis, secretary of the Industrial union, to take part In a national convention to be held .at Cincinnati next February, to consist of delegates from Knights of Labor, agricultural societies, soldiers' organizations, Greenbackers, anti-monopolists and ail who have lost confidence in the old parties. Mr. Baraas has replied to Mr. Douglass, saying that the convention promises to be made up of incongruous elenftnts. He does not think the farmers and workingmen can have any common motives with soldiers' organizations, for instance. He adds that common rumor has it that there is danger of the convention' being packed and captured by the enemies of labor, and asks if U would be possible to thus "capture" a convention composed of delegates elected directly by meetings of the fnAmtriil masses. He thinks such a convention, which has b*«a proposed bar the Land and Labor party, will better represent labor, and he hopes the real friends of the oaase will support the lattjr proposition. He further says that, , though he and otter Henry George man have 1 own iiiv!lad to: the Cincinnati convention, 'Mr.' Heath,'of.'Chicago, one of the promoters of, that,Cfipx«i»ttop,. hay ,• denounced Mr. ]•»- »- political sqhemer.
