LETTING IT OUT
STOUT THE CASUISTIC ONE
Wellington, to-day,
A Preaa Association telegram was received from London yesterday .saying Sir D. Bell had received a letter from Sir R. Stout in which the writer anticipated that the Government would be defeated in the present election. Sir R. Stout denies the truth of tho telegram, and states that he never wrote to the Agent-General officially on the subject. Ho sent Sir Dillon Bell a private letter informing him of the events of tho session, and of tho appeal to the country, when he tolj him ib was impossible to predict what would happen, that both sides were confident of success, but the Government would bo defeated if the people listened to the abuse of the Opposition Pre3S. Sir R. Stout says he is amazed that the contents of a private letter, even in a garbled form and utterly incorrect, should be made public.
