OUT OF IT.
Declines the Shepard Nomination
for County Register.
Enlisted for Schieren's Term and
Feels Bound to Serve II Out.
Cotton Broker Henry Hentz Substl-
tuted for Him on the Ticket.

The Shepard wing OF the Democratic
party in Kings County last night lost
q nominee on their third county ticket
In the person of Frederick w. Hinrichs,
the present Registrar of Arrears.
Mr.. Hinrichs was nominated by the
Shepardites for County Register to run
against Granville W. Hartman. Republi-
can, and Michael ]. Cummings, the reg
ular Democrat.
Mr.. Hinrichs has sent the following
letter to Charles ]. Patterson, Mr.. Shep-
ards right-hand man, which gives his
reasons for declining to run. In it he
says; .,, t. ,,.. .,o ,.,,, -. eu,.
which would suit my temperament, am
quite clear that ! ought not to accept
the nomination. The Republican organ
ization has signally failed this year in
its duty to the city and the present
though why 1, a Democrat, should fail
as well. 1t looks now. unless good citi-
gems resolutely do their duty without
return to the old order of things next
year, and that, alas. by reason of the
savage appetite for all the offices which
+, :" If such folly succeed with the pub
lie, then all friends of good government
must lose heart. The folly is hardly To
In complying with Mayor Schieren'
request to accept office, | bound myself
think, to him and to Brooklyn, to con.
tinue with his administration to the END
of his term, provided that the Mayor
should so long desire my services anG
advice. He has certainly sustained ms
in all that have sought to do.
Now, 1t seems to me that it would
not be right to accept this nomination Sc
same time, retain, my present office
Many of those who know me well anc
understand what work l have accom-
e. plished and am still to accomplish II
the Department of Arrears, might indeed
find no fault in my remaining Registrar
OF Arrears, even during the campaign
me- but the public at large would no
approve. 1t, is true that need no
neglect my duties because of my can
vass, as such duties are not as continint
as those of a deputy (and l am thinking
now of Deputy Harman's case), but thu
public would not distinguish; and Ger
tainly must in this, as have sought t.
do In every relation of life, avoid even
the appearance of wrong.
II reluctantly decline the very grea
honor which the County Convention has
sought to confer. l shall assist you ii
every way in my power in your effor
TO secure a clean business administra
ton for or city and county, and shall
do my best to promote the election o
any honorable man who may be named
in my place. We deserve to win, an,
there is, believe, enough public spiri
!. in Brooklyn, even this year, to give u
4 the victory"
