 Tribute to Mr. Fyler.
 The following tribute by J Henry Rora- back Fyler is copied from an exchange: "Mr. Fyler's death is loss extendingb b . yond any party or party faction, it is a loss to good government and the state. C was one of the squarest men in both busi. ness and political affairs his generati, n has known in this state. He met both friend aud foe Cn the same footing, tbat of absolute candor and frankness Nc man was ever deceived by O. R. Fyler If he believed as you did you had lis warmest support and if your proposition did not receive his appreciation, even though you were his most intimate friend, he told you so frankly and fear. lessly. He was an uuerring judge of men and events, and his great judgment and influence were always exercised on the side of good government and honesty in political affairs. He abhorred sham and petty cunning and the political hypocrite never found the second wei. come at his fireside. To those who knew him best his death is stunning but his memory will slways be reyered as an ideal in political affairs"
