He studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1845 and commenced practice in Chicago, Illinois. He moved to Potosi, Wisconsin the same year and continued the practice of law. He served as member of the 2nd Wisconsin Constitutional Convention in 1847. In 1848, Cole was elected as a Whig to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district. In Congress, he sided with the anti-slavery Whigs and refused to support the fugitive slave provisions of the Compromise of 1850. He ran for re-election in 1850, but was defeated by Democrat Ben C. Eastman. He resumed the practice of law in Potosi until 1855, when he was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, largely because of his opposition to the fugitive slave laws. In November 1880, Cole was appointed by Governor William E. Smith to fill the vacant Chief Justice role created by the death of Justice Edward George Ryan. He was elected to a full term as Chief Justice in April 1881. At the end of his term in 1892, he retired to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he died on May 5, 1903.He was interred in Forest Hill Cemetery, in Madison, Wisconsin. His former home, now known as the Carrie Pierce House, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4] He married his first wife Julia A. Houghton in 1848. They had two children, Sidney, who lived to adulthood, and Orasmus, who died as an infant in 1853. Julia died in 1874. He married his second wife, Roberta C. Noe Garnhart, the widow of John H. Garnhart, on January 1, 1879, at Madison, Wisconsin. She died June 17, 1884.
