The Doctors Debt to Melvin.

{. o. Melvin, of Worcester county,
is spoken of for the position of Sub
Treasurer To his influence and work,
more than to that Of any other man, is
due the advancement Of his party in
Worcester county in the past six
years. And the present Congressman.
elect from the First District cannot
fail TO appreciate the debt Of gratitude
he is under to Mr.. Melvin Ii is well
known by every one that without him
he could not have been nominated at
Easton and in view of this fact, his
claim on the Congressman support in
any position with his gift or control
ought to he irresistible CrisfeM
Times.
TThe Times does an injustice to Boss
Barnes when it claims that t. Melvin
is due the advancement of the Repub-
licans in Worcester. Ii also forgets
the potent influence of Boss Gillett.
Melvin may enter the claim that he
opposed Wellington at the Easton
convention but Boss Barnes can go
him one better and point with pride to
the files of his paper which contain
the "Shantytown George" editorials.
As between the three bosses Gillett
should have the plums.
