Get as much of it off as you can. Get a stripper and apply it to the table. Scrape off the stain. Stain it again.

True stain has to "soak" into the wood and effectively dyes it. Most of the time there is a clear finish applied over the stain to give you a shiny look. The new stain can't soak thru the shiny coating. Wipe it all off with a rag. and start over by sanding it down to get rid of the hard shiny coating. once your down to wood you can stain it again.

Did you sand before? THe varnish might be too smooth for this to work. It might not have anything to adhere to so it is pulling off and pooling.
I would sugguest taking the stain you put on off, maybe with some mineral spirits or something similar, sanding and starting over.
Stripping would really be ideal--but it's a huge amount of work and the chemicals are caustic.

Wipe off as much of the stain as you can. Then, strip off all of the stain (the original stain, too) and start over.

How long has the stain been on? It usually takes at least 24 hours to soak in.

The Stain is not pentrating the Varnish, thats why it does not dry, wipe it off- to dry, then use very light wet rag with turpentine.
