but never soiled his honor or compromised

literary honors of his class, which are US

After the war he settled in Savannah
ana formed q cO-partnership in law with
Claude Wilson, whose brilliant career
was cut short by death. Thereafter Col.
Lester Went into politics and was soon
elected 10 the state legislature without
opposition. There. as elsewhere, his per-
sonal popularity was soon established, and
tul members. He was repeatedly elected
to both houses. and became president Of
the Senate. His career in the legislature
was so eminenuy satisfactory to his con-
stituents that they soon called him to
represent them in the national congress
at Washington, and the unanimity with
which they have returned him session aft
er session. is the strongest evidence that
his work his been faithful and acceptable
to his people.
His courteous manner and close atten-
tion to business, his temperate habits,
and genial nature, his devotion to the gem
eral welfare of the country at large and
to the interests Of his immediate constit-
uency, have made his not only one of
the most popular and influential menu
bers of that distinguished body, but have
given him a perpetual lease upon his po-
sition. In evidence of this we have but
to cite to his recent unanimous renoni-
nation by his district and his late sgnal
appropriation for the harbor of Savannah,
over combined and persistent opposition.

known as the model congressman, and he
