Rosecrans Receives Another Facer from
General stager.
CHICAGO, june 16th.-General Stager again
denies having ever said to Colonel Darr what
Rosecrans said Darr reported to him. Stager
says the fact is that the four men who were
present at the Stanton interview are all dead
except himself. His recollection of the inter.
view is very clear, and Garfield made use Of
no such expressions as he has been accused of.
Stager also remembers clearly what he said to
Darr at West Point. 1t was in substance
that Rosecrans' attack on Garfield in San
Francisco was q most graceless and base one,
because Garfield had been a warm and con-
sistent friend of Rosecrans; that he had often
spoken in the highest terms of Rosy. and that
he had in Congress delivered the only eulogy
upon Rosecrans that was ever spoken, and
that in his opinion it was far toe glowing.
Stager remarks that as he had just been ap-
pointed by Garfield ss visitor to West Point,
it is not probable that he would improve the
first opportunity to make an open attack on
Garfield, fer whom he had always had the
warmest admiration and friendship, and
especially to a man Colonel Darr) whom he
knew to be devoted partisan of General
Rosecrans.

this time could be intrusted with revolver
and would not kill himself, nor by any
method which cost him pain. II he could
