and getting the better of him once or
twice. The men stood exchanging heated
arguments, totally ignoring Col. Jouaust,
who was twice obliged to ask them not to
speak to each other and to remain calm.
Gen. Roget especially was excited. par
ticulaTly when he found that he was max

on the contrary, scored off him. Roget
was unused to this treatment, as hither-

Finally, on Roget declaring that Drey-
fus might have written Il am going to
the manouevers." because he could have
asked special permission, which is In
variably granted, NJ. Demange asked him
if there was any proof that Dreyfus did
ask such permission. To this Roget re-

COMPLETES IT'S WORK.
The Kentucky Democratic state Con-
vention Finishes Its Selec-
tiOn OF Candidates.

Louisville. Ky, June 29.-The demo-
cratic state convention adjourned
Wednesday night after nominating the
rest of its ticket. The Goebel slate was
not even niched. Sometimes there was a
strong fight, in some cases more than
one ballot was necessary, but the re-
quired votes were always in readiness
when the time came to swing them. The
full ticket is as follows:
For governor William Goebel OF Kenton
county. Lieutenant governor, j. c. w. Beck
ham. OF Nelson county: secretary of state,
Brcck Hin. OF Clay county; attorney-gen-
eral Judge r.. G.. Breckenridge. OF Boyle
county: auditor, Gus Coulter, OF Graves
county; treasurer. Judge S. w Haeger. of
Boyd county, commissioner OF agriculture,
/. II. Nall OF Louisville: commissioner OF
public instruction, IL. " McChesney, Of
Livingston county.
William Goebel dominated Wednes-
days proceedings, as he did those OF
every day since the convention began.
Coming here with less than one-fourth
of the delegates instructed for him and
with the smallest number Of such dele
gates accredited TO any Of the three
candidates for governor, ne leaves the
convention holding the nomination for
