THE OFFICES OF EECOKD.





Elections, in a general way, are almost en¬
tirely "Without our province ; but so far as the
several offices of record in the counties of New
Tork and Kings are concerned, no persons are
more vitally interested than our subscribers as
to the men chosen to conduct them. And we
allude-to the coming election only because
such a choice is to be made in each county;
New York electing a Clerk, and Kinsfs a Clerk
and Register. Of coui-se we do not pretend
that a JDerson of any uncommon qualifications
is required to fill any of these positions.
The incumbent should have some acquaint¬
ance with the details of his office, however,
and be capable in selecting honest, careful,
and courteous subordinates, for it is with them
the community are thrown mostly into con¬
tact. Lilie master, like man, applies with
peculiar force to political affiliations, and this
might be beneficially remembered in making
a selection from amongst the candidates who
will offer themselves.

In New York but one organization—Tam-
many_lias so far presented a candidate for
the Clerkship.

This gentleman, Mr. William "Walsh, is a
native of Ireland, but his father removed to
this city when the subject of this sketch was
three years old. He is, tlierefore, essentially
a New Yorker, having since resided in the
lower wards of this city.' He is about thirty-
seven years of age, was a member of the Legis¬
lature in 1860 and 1861, and in the Fall of
1861 was elected to the Board of Aldermen,
and in 1863 President of that Board. From
that time until the reorganization of Tammany,
in 1872, he has been connected with Demo¬
cratic organizations opposed to Tammany^
In 1864 ho was nominated by the McKeon
Democratic organization ^for Congress against
Morgan Jones, and made a strong run. Since
the reorganization of Tammany he has been,
one of Mr. Kelly's assistants and co-workers in
controlling and shaping the policy of the
organization.

In Kings the nominations are full, the Re¬
publicans having nominated Mr. Nelson
Schaurman for the Clerkship against the Dem¬
ocratic candidate and- present incumbent,
George H. Herrman. We can only say for
Mr. Herrman that his administration has been
T«r7 satisfactory, aad if lie is defeated it will





be simply because of a stronger personal in¬
fluence on the part of his adversary, and can
in no wise be considered a criticism on his
official career.

For Register, the Republicans name Mr.
Silas B. Dutcher, a gentleman eminentl}'
worth}'^ the strong support he receives from
that party, and if, in alluding to his opponent
on the Democratic side of the house, Mr.
William Barre, we express ourselves more dis¬
tinctly, it is for the reason that, as deputy Reg¬
ister, it has been our lot to come into contact
with him more or less almost daily duiing the
many years the Real Estate Record has
existed. We can vouch for his fidelity to bus¬
iness, his universal affability toward those
seeking information from him, and his general
earnestness in conducting the aflairs of the
office, so that the petty annoyances too often
confronting one in public places have been the
exception iu tbat office.
