In THE F1ELD.-As several gentlemen have
been named as candidates for different city
offices, TO be filled in January next, we take
occasion to announce that our accomplished

candidate for reelection to the Office of City
Attorney. Mr.. Casey is young man of
very considerable talent, and as he has held
the Office but one term, we think that re-
election is due him. Mr.. O. has no OPP
ponent, as yet, and we do not believe that he
will have one-a re- election being generally
conceded to man when he has filled the
Office with satisfaction to the public, as in the
case of the present incumbent.
