Born In Ireland Successful New Yorl- .Lawyer and Politician -An Eloquent Orator. Hon. Bourke Cochran, who was se lected by the cIbbs of '07 as7 their com mencement orator, wasborn In Ire 3and? February 28, 185-7. He received Jiis'prellminary education In his native country, and was then sent to Prance to completo his jcourse of learning. In 1871, at the age7 of seventeen, he came to the United States. Ivir Cochtan at first engaged In the 3rofessIph of teaching In a private acadorrfy, thfen, as principal of the pub lic schools in Westgate county, New "York. Later he practised law in Now "York city. , Here the young Cochran found his best field of usefulness In l)olitlcs. Ho soon became prominent in municipal politics and in 1884 was sent as a delegate to the national .Democratic convention. His uncom promising fight against Cloyoland made him a marked man, but so great was his influence- over his constituents tliat he secured the congressional aiominolion and election in 1887. Ho lield thisofllce for one term, then re turned to private life for two years, until, in 1891, ho" was again sent as Congressman to Washington. He re peated his brilliant fight against Clove land in the Democratic national con--vention of 1892. In 1893, the Con sresBmanship again fell to-hiB lot. He filled tills term as efficiently as before, Tjut the bringing of the issue of freo silver into the Democratic party in 1806 caused him to change his party affiliation. Mr. Cochran's telling work for Mc Klnley -brought him much animosity from the Domocrats,but.this was for- gotten when 1900 found him again In the Democratic party, this time pn the Issue of anti-imperialism. He was elected to fill a specialtorm in the House in 1904, was re-elected In 1905, and will serve till 1907. Mr. Cochran Is a man of remarkable talent and intense virility. His inde pendence of thqtight and the striking "eloquence with which he has defended fhls "positions make him no of the unique .characters in our present-day politics. Chatburn's tecture Postponed.
