Mr.. Phelps was born in New York city in
1889 and was graduated from Yale College in
1850 He continued his studies in Europe,
and was graduated at the head of his class in
the Columbia College Law School some years
later. He practised law long enough to prove
his aptitude for that profession and to secure
from Governor Fenton the offer of a judicial
position, which he declined. His fathers death
left him in possession of very large estate,
and he gave up his practice, and,
changing his residence to New Jersey,
where he became the possessor of large tract
of land between Hackensack and Englewood,
became interested in politics. In 1872 he was
elected to Congress from the Fifth New Jer-
sey District (which had been Democratic).
He was renominated two years later, but was
defeated by seven votes. He did not seek an,
other nomination, but in 1882 was induced to
take one, and was elected by a good majority,
and was reelected in 1884 and 1886. He re
