Born in Lennoxville, Canada East, the son of Thomas Coke Alcorn and Martha A. Bartlett, he was educated at the Toronto Grammar and Model Grammar Schools. A lawyer, he was admitted to the Bar in 1871 and was created a King's Counsel in 1890. He practiced law in Belleville, Ontario and Picton, Ontario. He was president of the Prince Edward Liberal-Conservative Association.

He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the Ontario riding of Prince Edward in the 1900 federal election. A Conservative, he was re-elected in the 1904 election but was defeated in the 1908 election.
