The Workingmen's party in PhiIadel.
phis has been in existence a few weeks,
bat long enough to learn that life is full
Of trouble. It nominated to the district
attorneyship the other day a lawyer
whose claims upon the party were con.
tanned in the fact that be had once hoed
potatoes and churned butter in Mont.
gomery county. Since the nomination
some Of the leaders Of the party have
been struck by the thought that a mar
who worked when be was a boy ia not
necessarily a w~orkingman, and that hoe.
ing potatoes does not of itself ct a mar
for the effective prosecution Of criminals
Therefore they want now to compel the
bucolic person to withdraw from the
ticket, which the said rural individua
declines to do.
