HINR|CHS OUT OF IT.
Declines the Shepard Nomination
for County Register.
Enlisted for Schieren's Term and
Feels Bound to Serve 1t Out.
Cotton Broker Henry Hentz Substi-
tuted for Him on the Ticket.

The Shepard wing of the Democratic
party in Kings County last night lost
a 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

administration. That is no reason
though why. I. a Democrat. should fail
as we'll. 1t looks now, unless good citi-
gems resolutely do their duty without
regard to party; as If the city would
return to the old order of things nest
year, and that, alas. by reason of the
savage appetite for all the offices which
the Republicans in their folly have this
year exhibited.
If such folly succeed with the pub

must lose heart. The folly is hardly to
be credited. But so 1t lS.

tinue with his administration to the end
of his term, provided that the Mayor
should so Icing desire my services and
advice. He has certainly sustained me
in all that I have sought to do.
Now, 1t seems to me that 1t would
not be right to accept this nomination so
generously rendered to me and at the
same time rerain my present office;
understand what work l have accom-
plished and am still to accomplish in
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 not
approve. 1t is true that / need not
neglect my duties because of my can
vass, as such duties are not as combining

public would not distinguish; and GER err
tainly must in this, as have sought to
do in every relation of life, avoid even
the appearance of wrong.
IT reluctantly decline the very great
honor which the County Convention has
sought to confer. / shall assist you in
every way in my power in your effort
ton for oar city and county, and shall
do my best to promote the election OF
any honorable man who may be named
in my place. We deserve to win, and
there is, ] believe, enough public spirit
in Brooklyn. even this year, to give us
the victory"
