last.
The president sent to the senate the

ity. legal knowledge and physical
strength to fulfill the arduous duties
expected of him and his nomination
followed
THE NEW PENSION COMMISSIONER
Judge Lochren's reputation as juror is Of
the first order and his military record particu-
larly brilliant He is 81 years OF age and was
born In Vermont, where he was educated in the
public schools and admitted to the bar He
went to Minnesota in 1857 and practiced his
profession but when the war broke out he was
one OF the first men in the state to abandon his
civil pursuits and enlist In the First Minnesota
regiment. His service during the war was Sc
we're, eliminating at Gettysburg, where his
regiment made the famous charge that checked
Piclzett's onslaught OF the 300 men who made
that charge only forty came out whole and
lieutenant of Company E, came OF in command
of the regiment, every officer above his grade
having been killed or wounded.
When the war was over Judge Lochren re-
turned to Minnesota and resumed the practice
of law. He was very popular and was twice
the democratic caucus nominee for a seat in
the United States senate. In 1882 he was ap-
pointed by a republican governor to a judgeship
On the circuit bench and at the expiration of
his appointment was twice reelected to the
same place without opposition. He has never
sought office and his popularity is best attested
by the fact that although he is a democrat his
candidacy for the place indorsed by the
unanimous vote of the republican legislature OF
Minnesota
