Will Have No Personal Headquarters in Campaign, but Will Receive Friends at Home. To an Evening World reporter to-day Edward M. Shepard ex- pressed a desire to be allowed to fn statement attributed to the morning papers. 7m quoted as saying,” sald pard, ‘that ‘it is a question whether the Polfce Department ought to be in politics or out.’ 1 think the reporters misunderstood me. At any rate I did not Intend to say that. “What I intended to express was the idea that the administration of the Police Department Is a mat- ter of common morality, without room for difference either of poll- eles or politica. Upon this all good citizens should agree, they may differ upon municipal or political questions.” ‘Mr. Shepard was then asked concern- ing the truth of the charge that he oad advised Seth Low to swear off his per- sonal taxes, “Concerning that,” replied Mr. Shep- ard, “I shall say only this.

The last vestige of reform has van- ished from hie countenance, perhaps never to return. The wiry little candidate of Tammany Hall has shaved his whiskers.

Wherever the Democratic party has headquarters I shall doubtless be found." He was asked to give an expression of opinion on the charge of Justice Jerome that the nomination of Henry Unger wns dictated to Tammany Hall by Frank Farrell and the gamblers’ syndicate, “I assume," he sald, “that statement to be as true aa most of the things I see printed about myself.

Did Tom Grady incorporate them In the platform? Is this another case of Samson and Delilah, with Croker as Delilah? Will the cutting of Shepard's whisk- era have any effect on his election? Time alone can tell When Mr. Shepard was seen last aight t his brothe-'s house, No. 172 Congress street, Brooklyn, he was trying to evade the tirade of queations hurled at him by a regiment of newspaper men.

So now that the last vestige of reform has vanished from his physiognomy we are all any more questions. Wantage, Mr. Shepard held im his left hand a white Fedora hat, and when he became nervous at the rapid fire of Quertions acratched his head with his right hand. He appeared somewhat “rattled,” like a man undergoing severe cross-examination on the witnes! “WII you appeint Bernard Commisstoner of Police if elected?” was asked, “You must oxcuse me, but I can't talk politics," sald the man who hopes to become necond Mayor of Greater New York, using the English ‘‘a” tn ‘‘can‘t." “WHT you oust Devery and Murphy If elected?” “My dear friends, please refrain from putting questions like that, I can't say a word on politics.” All mention of politica was apparently obnoxtous to the candidate—another point of resemblance to Croker.
