The Sentinel says that las city con-
troller Mr.. Trusler has made himself felt
as the master spirit of the present adj
ministration," and that if he were vested
with the authority of Mayor there is
no doubt he would use that power as he
saw fit" These are good reasons why
he should be elected Mayor. A man who
is strong enough in a subordinate posi-
ton to make himself felt as the master
spirit of an administration, who has used
the power of his Office SO effectively and
beneficially for the good of the city, and
who has the nerve to assume RESPONSE

best we could. We believe several

that Holmes and his confederates are
guilty of several murders, but 30 far we
