Cleveland's Arrogance on Land Grant for Kansas College
The Induster organ argues President Cleveland’s veto blocked a 7.6 percent land grant to Kansas State Agricultural College. Joint resolution No. 14, introduced January 4, 1858 by Hon. John A. Anderson, received strong backing from regents and lawyers, with Chairman W. S. Holman asserting the college is clearly entitled. The speech by Grand Commander Warner at a Topeka camp fire drew praise for its style and substance, forecasting his popularity with the Grand Army.
