 Reporter General can you give any explanation Of the manner in which this story originated?
 Gen. Rosecrans-No, sir, can not. IL was evidently manufactured out of whole cloth. Some explanation had to be offered, and they probably se lected me as the best scapegoat from the fact that l was so far away, and probably because l have been friendly 10 Garfield.
 Reporter-Then there is no foun- dation io the story that you sent the letter East?
 Rosecrans-No, sir; the whole charge is absurd and wilfully false. l never sent any such letter, and l pronounce the story an infamous lie.
 Reporter-DO you notice that the telegram insinuates that you know ingly lent your aid to the scheme of forgery?
 Rosecrans-Yes, sir; I cannot ex- press my contempt for men who would stoop to so low and infamous an outrage, and just want 10 say one word about that foolish little fudge fudge speech which Garfield recently made at MeLtor. l never yet attacked Garfield; but l do now, and l pro- nounce him fraud-an unmitigated fraud.
 The General throughout the inter- view labOred under great excitement, his vehemence causing him to tremble violently. He denounced all the parties connected with the charge of complicity in unmeas ured terms.
