The Premier's Letter.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. Wellington, yesterday. A Press Association telegram was received from London yesterday saying Sir D. Bel 1 had received a letter from Sir-.,8, Stout in which the writer anticipated that the Govern, msnt would be defeated in the present election; Sir B. Stout denies, the truth of the telegram, and states that he hijver wrote to the Agent-General officially qir the subject. He sent Sir Dillon Bell a private letter informing him of the events of the session, and of the appeal to the country, when he told him it was impossible to predict what would happen, that both sides were confident of success, but the Government would be defeated if the people listened to the abuse of the Opposition Press. Sir B. Stout says he is amazed that the contents of a private letter even in a garbled form and utterly incorrect, should be made public.
