He said "As I take it. we are assembled here to colebrate the occasion Of Mr Casey's leaving Ogden. If that is true, it would be strange to say that I am glad to be here for that purpose, and I do not want to be discourteous. It seems to me we are haing these kind of celebrations entireh too often P is about time we were putting some kind of an embargo on Salt Lake, at least an embargo as to some kind of! men. There are a good many that we could spare very much better and very much caller than we can spare frit-nd Casey. I am not mentioning any names I can go farther and say that I can think of some men we would like to send to Salt Lake. Personally! I don't approve of Mr. Casey's action. It is simply a case of another good man gone, too. "Here he is. another one of those blamed Hooslers who comes here and endjean himself to all who know him.i and show s us how imaluable he is to j Ogden and to us, and then, like a 'fly by night, such as he has been called, he folds his tent like the Arab and -i lently steals away. And here we are, celebrating that occasion. What's the use rubbing it in. Casey's going Yes.! Casey's gone. Casey has the job It reminds me of the Casey story. Has he It?" "Seriously I know Mr. Casey leaves' us with the good will and the good; wishes of all who know him, and I bespeak for him eminent success in' his new field, and am willing to bet my white alley that the Herald-Re publican, under his management, will be a full-fledged newspaper in every sense of the word and more than that , it will be absolutely on the square while Jim Casey is at the bat:' City Commissioner Miles l Jones also spokf of Mr. Casey's fair dealing and (Jgden's loss in his departure.
