Former President Grover Cleveland was the featured speaker, who warned the audience: “We have fallen upon a time of such unrest and awakening that a disposition to tear down and uproot seems to prevail on every side. This has grown to be a manifestation of intense resentment on the part of our people…in the heat of our righteous indignation, that whatever may be pulled down or uprooted, something better must be put in its place.”
