He was born on July 15, 1839 in Harmony, Maine. Tripp was the son of William Tripp (1794–1875), a farmer and Methodist minister who had served in the War of 1812; his mother was Naamah Bartlett (1798–1874), William Tripp's second wife. The family moved from Harmony to the nearby town of Ripley in 1844.
Bartlett Tripp entered Colby College in 1857, but left without graduating in 1861 to travel to California.
He then attended Albany Law School, graduating in 1867. While in law school Tripp met future president William McKinley, who became a lifelong friend.
His first acquaintance with the West came in 1861 on a trip to California, in the course of which he taught at Salt Lake City, Utah, and worked as engineer on the Central Pacific Railroad.
He then returned to Dakota Territory, with which he had been impressed on his western trip, and practised at Yankton, which was his home the rest of his life.
His service as a member of the Yankton school board, an incorporator of Yankton College in 1881, and as a member of the board of regents of the University of South Dakota indicate his constant interest in education.
A prominent member of the Dakota bar, he served as president of the bar association, was in 1875 made a member of the commission for codifying the laws of the territory (The Revised Code of 1877, 1877), and in 1903 served on a similar commission for the codification of the laws of the state (The Revised Codes, 1903, 1903).
In his later years he became a lecturer in law at the University of South Dakota.
Two years later President Cleveland made him chief justice of the territorial supreme court, and he served from 1885 to 1889. When the legislature of the state of South Dakota met to choose a federal senator in 1891 he seems to have been near to election as the Democratic candidate. The election was, however, settled by a kind of compromise, and James H. Kyle was named.
Tripp's services to the federal government began with his arrival in Vienna on June 1, 1893, as minister to Austria-Hungary to succeed Frederick D. Grant.
During the four years before he resigned on June 18, 1897, he was called upon to protest to the Austro-Hungarian government the seizure of numerous naturalized American citizens, natives of Austria-Hungary, for performance of military duty. One of the most important of these cases was that of John Benich in which Tripp persuaded the Austrian government to admit that its administrative officers should accept American passports as prima facie evidence of citizenship. Olney was able to say in 1896, in the only annual report ever made by a secretary of state, that friction with Austria-Hungary over citizenship cases had recently diminished greatly.
In April 1899 Tripp was made the American member of the Samoan commission that was to undertake provisionally the government of the Samoan Islands then on the brink of civil war. Upon their arrival in the islands on May 13, the British and German members chose Tripp chairman. The report of the commission was rendered in July and his own able report to the secretary of state on Aug. 7, 1899. He urged the importance of Pango-Pango harbor to American interests, and it may be significant that when the islands were partitioned later in the same year the United States received Pango-Pango.
After his return to the United States he published My Trip to Samoa (1911).
He died at Yankton.
Bartlett Tripp is remembered as the was a U. S. Ambassador to Austria, Chief Justice of the Dakota Territory Supreme Court, first professor of the University of South Dakota College of Law and first President of the South Dakota Bar Association. He was also the initial consideration for Vice President of the United States by his law school classmate. Tripp County and the town of Tripp in South Dakota are named after Bartlett Tripp. Tripp Park in Yankton was sold to the city for $1 by Tripp's estate; Tripp had intended to give the land to the city, but hadn't completed the transaction in his lifetime.

Although a Democrat he presided in 1883 over the first territorial constitutional convention, which was strongly Republican in composition.
He was the first President of the South Dakota Bar Association.
Tripp was married twice, in 1863 to Ellen Jennings (died 1884) and then in 1887 to Maria Janet (Davis) Washburn (1846–1934), sister of Senator and Governor Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota. Tripp had one daughter, Maude B. , by his first wife. Maude (1866–1894) married South Dakota lawyer Charles Hall Dillon, later U. S. Representative and Associate Justice of the South Dakota Supreme Court.
Tripp's second wife Janet (as she was usually called) had been married to a bookkeeper named Franklin Washburn, and had two children by her first marriage. Her first husband was killed in 1902 in a notable train wreck in the Park Avenue railroad tunnel in New York City.
