cussed, and Judge COchrane was OF
the opinion that Judge Wallin's term
did not expire until January, and he
did not qualify until that time. This
was not done on the basis of friend
ship, but squarely upon his view of
the question of law involved. If Judge
Cochrane had thought he should quail
ify in December he would have done
so, as he was a man who had the
courage Of his convictions; and then
if he had desired to permit Judge Wal
lin to draw salary up to January,
every one who knows his generous
nature knows that this would have
been the way in which he would have
settled the question, if he had thought
he should qualify in December"

companion and friend of John M.

to say that our friend Judge Corliss
is mistaken in his statement of Judge
COchrane's OpiniOn.brts.~ ...-''''o + -
