Mr. MAHOX'S RECORD.
The re-election of Hon. Thaddeus M. Malion,
of which there can le no doubt, will be .1 logi
cal outcome and recognition of hi.s faithful and
efficient service in the halls of congress. Com
iug up from the people, ho is a man of the
people with an established professional ability
and probity commanding the respect of alL Id
sympathy with all clashes, generous to the poor,
accessible to all who need his help, thoroughly
devoted to the interests of his constituents, he
deserves the support of people he so ably repre
sents. From the start, as in the legislature thirty
years ago, Mr. Malion has held a commanding
position on the floor of congress and as a member
of the various committees to which he has been
assigned. Identified with the agricultural, in
dustrial and commercial life of his district, he
is in touch with its needs and conditions, and in
a position to have them recognized. The recog
nized friend and advocate of the veteran, no one
lias labored more effectually in the interest of
his comrades of the civil war, or of the soldiers
of the Spanish-American war.
Mr. Mahon's famous speech on Pensions gave
him prominence in Grand Army circles every
where. It was one of twelve, and the only
one on jeusions, that was selected by the Re
publican Congressional Committee for general
circulation by the National Committee in the
Presidential campaign of 189G. Helms voted
for every public and private pension bill. In
his own Congressional district he had over 1800
claim? of pensioners called up and advanced
Many pensioner who were stricken from the
list during the Cleveland administration he has
had restored.
Upon all legislation relating to the public
welfare Mr. Mahon's vote and championship
have been on the right side in the intest of the
people. When others waveredhe stood by Mc
Kinley and his war measures. He has voted
for all tariff legislation and to rejieal the war
taxes. He has voted for all legislation in the
interest of laW, the farmer, the manufac
ture! and workingmau, and in debate in their
behalf has frequently liecn heard from forcibly
and elequently contending for measures promo
tive of their advancement.
Mr. Mahon's service on some of the imiiort
ant committees of the house and as chairman ot
AVar Claims committee is marked by the same
vigilanoN which has attended his entire career as
Congressman. It has given him a standing with
colleagues whieh has had much to do with the
shaping of wise legislation. No man in the
Pennsylvania delegation wields a more salutary
influence. His knowledge of ihe departments
and popularity with their heads have made his
service of value to his state and constituents.
The new member gladly avails himself of the
assistance of the member of 18th (now 17th)
district in bis tour of the departments. ' Some
one has said and he evidently knew whereof
he spoke. "To Bend a man to congress for a
single term, or maybe two, and expect bini to
benefit his constituents, or do credit for himself,
is very much like pending a green boy to school
during a single winter, and then expect him to
display abilities that will qualify him to take
place of the head of a great university.
Marked characteristics of Mr. Mahon's career,
from the anvil to the halls of Congress, have
been a will and parpos to go straight at things.
In much of the work undertaken by him, he
accomplishes promptly that which would baflle
other men. As has been said of our member
"There is a rugged honesty altout Malion that
carries him the respect of his strongest enemies.
He isa fair fighter, as his record in many a skirm
ish in the house shows, but his blows are not
little love taps. When a youth he learned the
trade of blacksmith, and his style of argument
is yet largely that of the siedgehamera
Talbert, of South Carolina, the great objector to
pension legislation, has discovered how hard he
can hit..
As with other men in public life, Mr. Malion
has had a fair share of enemies and detractors,
but there is the unanswering fact to all of duty
well and faithfully lverfoimed. His nominations
for Congress have come to him with unanimity,
and his election in every instance by uenqualed
majorities. . 11 is public ami private
lite are irreproachable, and he has been faithful
to every trust conhded to him.
As was shown in recent issues of the "Opinion"
the Republican newspapers, reflecting the senti
ments of the masses in the Seventem-th district,
are a unit for Mr. Mahon s return to Congress,
The voters, to whom his standing and industry
as a member ot Congress are so well known,
should see to it that his election is assured by
a rousing majority Chambersburg Opinion.
