HINRICHS OUT OF IT..
Declines the Shepard Nomination
for County Register
Enlisted for Schieren's Term and
Feels Bound to Serve It 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 j. 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 1t he
says:
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
ad i That "i is no no reason reason
though why l, Democrat, should fail
as WELL, 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 arNt
year, and that, alas, by reason of the
savage appetite for AL the offices which
year exhibited.
II such folly succeed with the pub
lie, then all friends of good government
must lose heart. The folly is hardly to
be credited. But so 1t is.
In complying with Mayor Schieren's
request to accept office, l 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 and
advice. He has certainly sustained me
in all that 1 have sought to do.
Now. It seems to me that 1t would
not be right to accept this nomination SO
same time reIain, my present office;
Many of those who know me well and
understand what work l have accom-
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 l need not
neglect my duties because of my can
vass, as such duties are not as combining
as those of deputy land l am thinking
now of Deputy Harman's case), but the
public would not distinguish: and / GER
tainly must In this, as | have sought to
do in every relation of life. avoid even
the appearance of wrong.
u reluctantly decline the very great
sought to confer. / shall assist you in
every way in my power in your effort
TO secure clean business administra-
ton for OR 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
hefs ee eSen hs year. pu to sve e us
