Cochran "saw" Croker he had the fright
of his life thrown into him. 1t was at
Croker S rooms at the Arlington hotel
in Washington. Croker had Just re
ceived word from Albany that Cochran
had been coquetting with the senatorial
nomination and rather encouraged sew
eral 'independent" Democrats in the
New York Legislature in the stand they
had taken to vote in the caucus against
Edward Murphy the Organization I"
candidate. When Croker took Cochran
to task for what he deemed his duplicity,
and, forgetting their respective years
and dignities of their positions, "shook
him vigorously Cochran cried out in
alarm. Cochran $ candidacy for the SEN
atorship died ont on that day, as did also
his friendship for Richard Croker.
