showed that one man living In the vicin-
ity OF the Burke place peddled a petition
demonstrating against the granting OF
license, not for the public good, not for
the bettering of the community, not for
The purpose OF keeping the evils OF the
rum shop out OF the neighborhood, as the
remonstrance and the subsequent petition
for an investigation declared, but for the
purpose of punishing one man-Mr.
Burke And why this bitterness and this
hurrying and scurrying to get up that
petition? Simply that this one resident OF
that eighborhood might revenge himself
on MIR. Burke because the latter had sued
the tuft hunters son TO collect an honest
debt and had succeeded In getting part
of his money. Here is the bottom fact,
the fundamental and animating cause OF
this great Goo Goo investigation, upon
which the peoples money is now being
squandered. This Is the basis upon which
has been framed an indictment against
honest, reputable and faithful public SER
wants and in response TO which they have
been hailed before a Goo Goo committee
to be made the target for abuse, misrepre-
sentation and insinuation. III the Goo
Goo government now in the saddle can

cuse IL for its course in lending itself to
such ignoble work, IL has a fund OF self
complacence larger than Nature ordinarily

After the desth of his wife, Is months
ago, he had his gold and silver plato
melted and cast into sacred vessels, which
he presented as n memorial To st. Francis
Aavier's church, this city. Since the ex-
congressman's return from abroad his old
political friends have seen little Of him.
Ho has been a stranger in places which he
formerly froqContod, and this has given
rise TO much speculation.
Cochran was born In the county Sligo,
Ire. His parents intended him for the
church, and with that end he was care
fully educated in schools In his native
country, and in his early youth was sent
10 n Catholic college In France. At the
age Of IL he decided that he was not suited
for the church.
With sctrccly enough money TO pay for
weeks board after purchasing his pas
sage, he sailed for this country. He
taught school in this city and Mt Vernon
for a number OF years during which time
lac studied law In 1870 he was admitted
20 the bar.
lie allied himself with Tammany Hall,
and was elected TO congress in 1891, and
reelected two years later. In the fall OF
1893 controversy arose between Mr.
Cochran and Richard Croker, which led
to Mr.. Cockran,s final withdrawal from
Tammany Hall about year ago.
