Sir Robert Stout will Resign.
The special correspondent of the '•Otago Daily Times", aiid Christchurch "-Press" recently telegraphed tp those journals stating that there would be another ■, election shortly. This, confirming rumours which bave been afloat for some time, acted as a spur to conjecture. The question arose : " Who is about to resign ?" We are in a position to state on excellent authority that owing to business arrangements Sir Robert Stout will shortly give up his seat in the House ot Representatives and retire, for the time being at anyrate, from politics.
This is in consonance with the statement which has been going the rounds during the last few days that Sir Robert had been offered a position worth £3000 a year if he would resign his seat in Parliament. Several names have already been mentioned as likely to contest the seat to be rendered vacant by the "middle member" for Wellington.—" N.Z Times."
