MINISTER TRIES TO BE ENTERTAIN TXG . The Hon. King O'Malltj did his best to bo entertaining while addressing a Marybynrong assemblage a four nights ago. H» declared ihat the history of tin* Labour Party disclosed a vista r,i' mighty Christian performances. A loud Voice: Good old rooster!— (Laughter.) Mr O'.Vfalloy: If a rich mail over entered the kingdom or salutation it would be because lie contributed to the Labour party's taxes. —(Laughter.) The Loud Voice : Good old rooster! Mr O'Malley >;a>d that Mr Fisher's character rose before the people like a faultiest suporstrueture, domod and pinnacled, ard if the party deserted him he would resign. He, himself, if Minister, would resign within 24 hours if his party deserted him. Twenty years from jtow, outside the museum, politicians of Joe Cook's stamp would bo as extinct as the theosaunis and the megalitheruun. Queensland would be swept hv Labour and all but two of the anciert fossilised relies of political a.ntiquitv woud he buried without flowers. To compare AustraJian Liberals with good old Liberals like Cobdoii, and Gladstone was like com pari rg a singed c.it with a Bengal tiger.— (Laughter.) The loud Voice: Good old rooster! Mr O'Malley: Liberals! If they looked at their te<?th they would find the old Conservative notches on < back breech of the gums. This was was the last time he would ever run for politics. He first went in for politics for amusement, after he had made what, hoodie he wanted. The loud Voice: Good old rooster! Mr O'Malley said ho stayed now because tilie work was not yet finished.
