has offered to cure her of her malady for

when the BUgie came out, it was filled
with accounts OF my previous history that
would have curdled the blood of II Digger
Indian. a susceptible public was in
formed that | was not fit for the office,
that | was II fool, and besides had come
West under very suspicious circumstance
es. l had starved my old grandmother
to death, and then sold her remains to II
soap factory. had stolen hand organ
from poor blind cripple and run away
with the proceeds. had sold the coffin
Of my grandfather for Sl4 and buried the
old gentleman in boot box. In utter
desperation | rushed round to headquar-
tiers, withdrew my name and swore sol
emn swear that never would indulge in
politics again, and | never will.
