A DEMOCRAT FROZEN OFT.
The Party Has IN Fight ON It's Hands
at Rushville.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RUSHyIIlLE, Ind, April l6.-The Demo-
Gratis of Rushville have been OF the notion
for some time that they could capture two
OF three councilmen to be elected at the
May election. But an unlooked-for incident
in their own stronghold. the Second ward,
has dissipated their hopes. Councilman
Philip Heeb. who has represented the Sec
ond ward for six years, was a candidate
for denomination Richard Purcell. young
man, came out against Heeb about two
weeks ago and developed great strength
The aspirations of the hoy candidate
were at first looked on a joke, but last
night as young Purcell marshaled forty of
his supporters at the Big Four depot and
marched them double file to the Council
chamber, in which the convention was held
II was evident that a hard fight had to be
made to beat him. On the first ballot
young Purcell led Heeb by one vote. Then
the Heeb managers began challenging the
Purcell voters, and a big row ensued. For
a time an old-fashioned Kentucky conven-
ton held the boards. Purcell finally sprang
up and said: Mr.. Chairman. i withdraw
my name. You can have your blankety-
blank nomination, but I'd like to see the
man who gets II VIM
Purcell and his followers then left the
Council chamber and the convention adj
journed in an uproar.
