COALITION OF PARTIES. THE ONLY WAY OUT. ‘ A NEW MINISTRY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. BRISBANE, October 24. (Received October 24, at 10.26 a.m.) 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 had unanimously agreed to coalesce with the Government. Mr Kidston said that his party were not unanimous, so he bad taken the unusual course of asking them to a combined meeting. His justification was the unusual political position in Queensland public life. The position of panties was such that no party could carry on without the assistance of the other parties; therefore the best thing for the country was a reorganisation of parties. As the result of the meeting Mr Kidston will have a free hand in forming a njw Ministry, and forty-four members will support him.
