RADICAL CHICANERY-Iti is invariably the
case that just before important State elections
are to be held, the Radical leaders resort to
every infamous scheme of viainy which hu-
man ingenuity can devise to mislead the people
and create dlstrust in the minds of the ign"r-
ant masses rs to the objects and aims Of the
Democracy. The Ku,Klux cry answered their
purposes, for the time being. after the forcible
and fraudulent adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment. but this becoming worn out, some
thing new was required to again revive the an
imosities engcndered by the war, US by keep
ing alive those feelings of bitterness and sec
tional hatred can the Radicals alone hope to re-
tain their hold on the public Offices Accord
ingly an anonymous pamphlet has been pub
entitled Concession, or how the Lost Cause
can be Regained and the Independence of the
South Secured" Radicals charge that it EN-
anated from Democratic source, and attrib-
ute the authorship to Hon. Alex. II Stephens
of Georgia. Mr.. Stephens felt constrained to
deny through the public press that he either
wrote the pamphlet or knew anything about
it; and on September 9Th the National Demo-
cratic resident Executive Committee ut Wash
ington City held a meeting and adopted res"-
lutions denouncing the pamphlet being circu.
lated as though from Democratic source. as
Il fraud. They aver that the sentiments at the
pamphlet are antagnnstic to the principles
and purposes of the Democracy, and declare
their unanimous belief that the document IN

literally verified, as instanced in the case of the
Louisiana Radical State Convention. wher.

the affairs of party contention fell like n
thunderbOlt among conservative Republicans
the entire country. They recalled
the prophetic utterances of Frank Blair which,
three years ago. they had secuted as vile slaH-
