Meetings of the Opposition and Government supporters were held last night, -and subsequently both parties attended a joint meeting. Mr. Philp, on behalf of his party, announced that they unanimously agreed to coalesce'with the Government. Mr. Kidston said : that his party were not unanimous. He said that he had taken the unusual course of asking them to a combined meeting. His justification was the unusual position in Queensland public life. The position! of parties- was such that- no party, could carry on without the assistance of other parties. The best thing for the country was a reorganisation of parties'. As a result of the meeting, Mr. Kidston will, have a free hand in forming a new Ministry, and 44 members will support it.
