Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 July 1895 — His Conscience Clear. [ARTICLE]

His Conscience Clear.

The Comptroller of the Treasury Is an autocrat whose decision overrides even that of the chief magistrate of the nation. Some years ago, the then Incumbent of the office refused to sign a warrant for money which General Grant thought It proper to expend. “That Is right," the President said; “I admire your firmness. Where your conscience is concerned, never permit yourself to be coerced. You may consider yourself clear In this affair, for I shall appoint a new comptroller tomorrow.”

The flowers are streaming In the dew, And ice cream now abounds; While “Is It hot enough for you?” Goes on its annual rounds. —Atlanta Constitution. - *
