ILkION. Sent %. 1881.


You remember, Messrs. Editors, when
| was last in Baltimore, that we talked
over Mr.. Edwin Winners prospects, and
discussed him personally and politically.
Mr.. Wilmer is certainly person in
whose acquaintance any one might be
proud. Fl" is not only accessible to all,
but his cordially is from his heart,
which is as open as his hand. He
tranSacts business with the facility
with which you write an editorial on a
lavoritetopc; and he is always up to the
mark, and says distinctly what he will
and what he will not, or cannot do.
This business energy and frankness he,
carries with him in his political relations
in which he always expresses himself
decidedly, and acts accordingly. He is
also gentleman of extensive informa-
ton and enlarged views-and he has
been protesting christian ofthe Metho-
dat church from his boyhood. Add ed
tc all this. Mr.. Wilmer is one of the
b st speakers in our State. | do not
mean mere speaker of set speeches.
bnt an finland debater, up to every
emergency Of the questions which de-
bate calls forth, and ready TO meet his
antagonist at all points. In fact he has
more than this, for he has great control
over the passions OF his hearers, for |
have seen him, on religious and moral
questions, melt a whole audience into
tears. In every relation of life he sus-
trims character not only unimpeached
and unimpeachable, but of lofty emf
hence.
have said thus much of Edwin
Wilmer in your paper, because he is the
very man whom the people of Cecil
county should have to represent them as
their Senator. have lately been good
deal through Cecil county, and have
conversed freely with all parties and
sects, and it gives me pleasure to say to
you, that the best informed men whom
have met, without distinction of party,
have expressed to me the conviction
that our friend Wilmer will be elected.
| know you would be glad of such re-
suit, as would our friends everywhere,
and so have said thus much. who am,
as you know, not given to letter wri-
ting for political effect.
Your friend, F.
Being personally acquainted with
Mr.. Wilmer, we know that our cores
pendent has said no more than this gen.
tleman is fully entitled to, and we are
assured, from other quarters, that his
election is looked upon as almost GER
tain.-Ed. Patriot.1
