VICTORIAN POLITICS.
WHY A DISSOLUTION WAS GRANTED. STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR. Received February 24. a.m. MELBOURNE, February 24. Sir Thomas Gibson-Carmichael, the State"Governnor, has furnished Parliament with his reason for granting Sir Thomas Bent, ex-Pre-mier, a dissolution. He was, he says, convinced that neither the Leader of the Labour Party (Mr Prendergast) nor Mr Murray could form a Ministry of real stability, and there was nothing to lead him to think that Mr Muiray rather than Sir Thomas Bent should appeal to the country, while the . debate on' the censure motion indicated that possibly the House desired a change of Premier rather than a change of policy.
