CENTENNIAL HYMN,

Iuu ,vuuwin uynn wrllteu UN
Whittier was delivered upon the open
ing day of tho Exposition. One hun
dred and fifty instruments and high
ly trained choir OF one thousand must
clans rendered the hymn under tn,
baton of the accomplished musician
Theodore Thomas. There are some
grand words In II:
Our fathers God from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meot to-day, united, free.
And loyal TO our land and Thee,
To thank Thee for tho era done,
And trust Thee for the opening one.
Here, where OF old, by Thy design,
The fathers spake that word of Thine.
Whose echo IN the glad refrain
or rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time from all
The zones OF earth our guests we call.
Be with US while the Now World grcets
The Old World, thronging MI Its streets
Unwilling all tho triumphs won
by art or toll beneath the sun:
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship OF hand and BRAIN
Thou who hast here In concord furled
The war-flags OF u gathered world,
beneath our Western alyiel fulnl
The 0rients mission of good will,
And, freightod with Loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonauts OF Peace.
For Art and Labor met In truce,
For Beauty made the bride OF Use,
We thank Thee; while, withal, we crave
The auStere virtues 10 save.
The honor proof to place or gold,
Tho manhood never bought or sold
Oh make Thou us through centuries long
In peace secure and Justice strong;
Around our gift OF Frgt dom draw
The safeguards VI Thy righteous law
And, cast In some diviuer mold,
Let thenew cycle shame the old.

This excellent soldier and upright citizen
is among the minor candidates talked Of for
the st. Louis nomination, but the support
he receives can have no other effect than to
prevent q concentration of votes on the
stronger rivals before the delegates have
time to survey the ground and compare
views. General Hancock has no chance for
the nomination, not even as the dark horse
The country has had enough Of military
Presidents. The democratic party especially
has strong motives for taking the civil war
and all questions connected with it out of
politics and abolishing the memory Of that
family quarrel. General Hancock's candida
ture rests entirely on the part he acted as
soldier, and his nomination would make the
war the pivot of the canvass But the sooner
the war passes entirely out of politics into
history the better for the demo-
cratic party and the better for the
country. No new evidence is needed
that the South accept the political
results of the war as irreversible, and it
would be neither delicate nor magnanimous
to keep Haunting in their faces the fact that
they were forced into submission by military
power.
Even apart from the general disgust
with military Presidents, and apart from the
impolicy of keeping alive the memory of q
bloody conflict between citizens of the same
country, there is no fitness in nominating
man for President on his war record SO long
after the end Of the contest just after the
close of war it may be proper enough to
bestow civil honors on . general as mark
Of recognition and gratitude, but the war for
the Union is too long past for this feeling to
have much force even If general Hancock
were the fttest object Of it. five were in
expectation of q new war there might be
some advantage in electing general to the
Presidency, and in such q contingency
there is no man in the army who could be
more safely trusted than General Hancock
to keep the military subordinate to
the civil authority and prevent the
arbitrary abuses and the dangers to lib
erty which are too apt to attend . state of
war. But we are happily exposed to no
such peril. What the country needs is
wise, steady. sagacious civil administration,
such as we can only expect under Presi-
dent of statesmanlike abilities and large ex-
perience. To put General Hancock at the
head of the government would be as impru-
dent as it would be to put Senator Bayard
in command Of an army. General Hancock
might make an admirable Secretary Of War
under democratic administration, but that
is as high civil position as he has any title
to aspire to or as the country would consent
to have him occupy.

tions toward the country. 1t has not gained
the confidence Of the people-therefore it
must speak out more frankly, must promise
more definitely than its opponents need to.
But it has the good fortune that it seeks
Its support in States where the frankest
speech and the most definite promise can
not hurt it; where, indeed, clear and pre-
else committal on the currency, the revenue
and other really important questions will
help it to an important neutrality-suspicious.,
liberal and lukewarm republicans-whichi it
can hope to gain only by such pledges and
by the nomination of statesmen of known
opinions and high character. If the St
Louis Convention is timid, if it tries TO look
both ways, it will undoubtedly insure re-
publican victory. If it offers nothing better
than the republicans then the country will
take the republicans. But if it offers the
country craftsmanship definite pledges, a
we'll defined policy, instead of cant and bum
combe, then it may hope for the support of
the immense number of disseminated voters
who are dissatisfied with the republican ad-
ministration of affairs, do not see much
hope of improvement in another republican
success; but prefer to risk that if they do not
see strong hope of improvement on the
democratic side.

There is a good deal of excitement in
yachting circles in reference to the Cen.
tennial races, and more especially the
sailing for the Queens Cup, in answer to the
challenge Of the Countess of Dufferin We
are glad to see 80 much interest in this noble
sport and we trust the centennial season
will justify the best expectations of the
yachting public. As to the race for the
Queens Cup. we of course trust that the
vessel selected to represent the United States
in the contest will win. At the same time
we are disposed to agree with the London
Field that the possession of this trophy is
like the proprietorship of hornets nest.
The contest in which it was won was trial
between nationalities and models. The
victory was that of the American over the
English model. 1t represented, therefore.
not merely skill in seamanship, in the direc-
ton of race, but skill in ship
building, as should be the case
in every international race. But no
such condition will exist with the Countess
of Dufferin. That vessel is an American
model, and her victory would be the victory
of flag, nothing more. This whole bust
ness of the Queens Cup and the deed under
which it is held are so much Of an annoyance
that if it were not unpatriotic we could wish
that the cup might be carried away by the
English and never returned. If the club
should retain it they might return it to the
donors and say that they do not care to hold
it any longer under the conditions of the
present deed. fit is thought worth while
to encourage international races let the deed
be SO amended that victory will mean some
thing. As it now stands it means nothing,
and the possession Of the cup is an annoy
ance and not triumph.

If the two-thirds rule should render the
nomination Of Tilden impossible Senator
Bayard is the candidate on whom Tilden's
supporters could most easily unite. He
represents the same views on public ques-
tons and is the spontaneous second choice
of probably nine-tenths of the Tilden men.
From the moment that he received any con-
siderable support from the Northern dele
cations there would be an enthusiastic rally
to him by all the Southern delegates. He
would be the first choice of the
whole South if the democrats from that Sec
ton could be assured that he would
receive Northern support enough to secure
his election. Personally he is the most
popular man in the democratic party and if
it should be found that Tilden cannot be
nominated the transfer of the Tilden votes
to Bayard would make him the triumphant
candidate on the first ballot after Tilden
was withdrawn. There is no section of the
democratic party either in the East, the
West or the South that would not support
Bayard, if he were nominated, with the
same vigorous zeal and heartiness with
which all the republicans have rushed to
the support of Hayes The only weak point
in Mr.. Bayard's canvass is his locality if
he were citizen of Northern State no
candidate could prevail against him.
