DISCLAIM PARTISANSHIP.
DEMOCRATIC PHYSICIANS AND DRUG
GlSTS BRING A QUICK DENIAL.

Wholesale Druggists Say That Only Three
OF the HEen Laid on We're Democrats
and That Two Have Been Reinstated.
The story printed in Philadelphia and
New York papers TO the effect that
KeRsbey q Mattison, wholesale manu-.
fscturers Of chemical products, of Am
bier, Pa, had discharged all Democratic
employees who favored the Wilson TRri1
bill, created quite a sensation, especially
among Democratic physicians and drug
gists, who prepared to boycott the firm.
A druggist and Democrat OF this city
wrote to the firm and asked that the
newspaper reports be specifically af-
frmed or denied. The reply reached him
yesterday in the shape of an open letter
sent to the American Druggist, but not
yet printed. The substance of the reply
Is as follows:
I'VE never pay any attention to news
paper reports, as it is a well-known pro
verb that "a lie travels ten-fold as fast
as the truth sent to overtake it, and
while partisan papers are insanely eager
to publish so called news they will not
give place to denials showing their news
to have been incorrect or malicious, for
the reason given us by the manager of
one of the great dailies of the country,
who said II we were 70 admit that we
had been wrong our influence as a news
paper would be destroyed.
in regard to the malicious partisan
report in question. we wonld say that no
man has ever been dismissed from the
service of our company on account Of
ais politics. OF the men laid of on account
of the depression in business, instead Of
them being mostly Democrats, more than
three fOurths OF them were Republicans,
and it seems to us if there is any
great indignation to be arouse d
in this vicinity on account Of
this matter, It should be by the R
publicaus instead of the Democrats. As
matter of fact there is no indignation
that we know Of, as the men understand
perfectly well that they are laid of on
account OF lack of orders, and that the
fact Of these orders not being received is
due TO the exploitation in Congress of the
proposed bill to regulate the tariff
which causes many Manufacturers to
withhold orders at present for even
necessary repairs, not to speak Of new
work for the further extension Of their
business.
Both the New York World and the
Philadelpbia Record went into Mysteries
over the wholesale discharge of the
Democrats in our employ Had either
/ journal cared to examine into the facts
they never would have published the
news, as they would have found that OF
the men discharged bat three were
Democrats (two of them have re-en
tered the compsny's employ all the rest
voting regularly the Republican ticket
aud that no other employees, either
Democrats or Republicans, have sinc'
been dismissed from our works

LAWYER sCANLAN POISONED.
Two Attempts Made to Kill the Proseout-

AWo AtAeupta maue 10 hlil the ErOaocut-
ing Attorney In the Coughlin Case.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3. Hickman Soanlan,
who is the most energetic lawyer on the
part Of the prosecution in the Coughlin
case, has escaped two attempts upon his
life since the trial began These two at
tempts were made while Mr.. Scanlan was
living at l54S West Adams street.
The first time Mr.. Scanlan was poisoned
was the evening Of the day he made his
opening speech to the jury That night he
and his wife ate dinner at O'Clock, their
usual hour Half an hour after leaving
the table Mr.. Scanlan was seized with vio-
lent pains, which almost threw him into
convulsions. His wife was also affected.
Plain symptoms of arsenical poison were
present in both cases, but prompt medical
assistance prevented any more serious re-
suit than a severe headache the next day.
Mr.. Seaman joked his wife that night at
dinner about their illness and seemed to
think no more about IT, Within half an
hour after dinner both he and his wife
were again taken with violent pains, the
symptoms of arsenical poisoning being
more prominent than on the night before.
The physician who was called had some
little difficult In getting them out of dan
ger, and then he advised them that some
thing must be done to stop further at
tempts of the same kind. The police have
strong suspicious as to who doctored the
| food, but st Mr. Scanlnn's solicitation have
made no arrests.
