Receiving his early edu- cation in private schools, he entered Yale university in the class of 1876, but the wish to fit himself early for the legal profession led him to leave college shortly after his matriculation. He entered Columbia law school, where he was graduated in 1875. Though admitted to the bar of New Jersey in 1877, he never engaged in practice, being occupied in various business enterprises and ardently engaged in Republican political movements. In the latter he made himself so a...ctive that he was elected to represent his district in congress in 1883 and again in 1887, and in 1891-92 was chairman of the Repub- lican state committee. During these years Mr. Kean was steadily becoming a power in his party, and in 1892 he was selected as the Republican candidate for governor. Though defeated in this contest, his activity con- tinued; he was appointed on the committee to revise the state judiciary; and at a Republican legislative caucus in 1899 was nomi- nated by acclamation for the United States senate, and was elected on January 25, to succeed James Smith, Jr.
