Congressman Landis' Opinion of Roosevelt.

In his paper, the Delphi Journal of November 18,1880. in speaking (>f the members of theyivi] service commission, Congressman CB. Landis expressed his views in the following forcible manner: “Theodore Roosevelt is the moving spirit in this commission. Ha is a young dude. He is by nature a mugwump, and consequently a democrat. There is not a pure drop of republican blood in hia body. By what right is he elevated to the dictaorship of ‘he republican party no one pretends to explain. His chief claim to prominence is his close affiliation with George William Curtis and toe other pure and unsjxitted cusses who defeated Blaine, and worked, with the energy of desperation against Harrison.” The pupils of Brushwood School, I nion tp., will give a literary entertainment and box social on Saturday evening.
