Tho New York Age, in its issue
Of the 7th inst, under the caption.
"UndUly Sensitive" says:
Editor John Mitchell, Jr editor of
the Richmond Planet and recently Re
publican candidate for Governor OF
Virginia betrayed an undue degree Of
constituencies over good naturea
reference ITO the correspondence course
OF absent treatment which Tire Age
Ventured to suggest he must have civ
Hn his campaign. lie took over half a
column OF valuable space to cXplnil
why he went to California to attend
the sessions Of the American Bankers
Association Of which he is a member,
and insisted that he did not take tho
party chairman the state committee
or tire other nominees with him. This
undoubtedly showed rare degree o.
consideration On the part Of the ca't.-
didate for Governor.
The representative editor Of the
Planet not content with resenting
what he called "The Ages aspersiuns"
In his own behalf sought to shift the
odium upon his associates who bore
fine burden Of the campaign in this
manner:
When the editor Of The New YORK
Age infers that when the nominee for
Governor went to California. Chair
Hnan ]. r. Pollard and his commit, ee
ind the other Nominees laid down. so
to speak and did nothing. he does
Them gross injustice and he should
bc fair enough to correct tire impress
sion which he has made. They Ably
conducted the campaign in Virginia.
If the. candidate for Governor had re-
manned In this State during the entire
contest the vote might have been more
and It might have been less. Certain
Ay, II we had such type Of leadership
to deal with as that represented by
The New York Age the vote wou,,
most assuredly have been less.
This unwarrantcd inference rocks
OF the basest sort Of ingratitude. None
Of our papers was more outspoken anu
sincere than the Age in commenting
thc measures taken by the Negro vot
ers OF Virginia to fight "lilywhiteism
within the Republican party. The plat
form and tire candidates were heartily
endorsed and n vigorous support OF
them at the polls was advised aIt
hoped for by The Age. The polling Of
$4,000 votes If that is the final result
arrived at was highly creditablc tt
those responsible for the active worl
o Of the campaign and may be rcgartr,
us a moral victory.
Editor Mitchell himself admits thai
the vote might have been more, or les,
If Ire had remained in the State The
Age believes it would have been more
hence its regret ut his unfortunate IL
Sence.. But a gubernatorial candidar,
who also runs bank and newspaper
as we'll as heading q secret society car
not be expected to put his whole time
OH any one Of there jobs. But he should
not get peevish over iE.
1t may be that the recent candidate
for Governor Of Virginia and many O
his associates are "unduly sensitive
and "peevish. In view of the com
mont Of tho able editor Of the Age ant
his deductions, so far as we are con
cerned, the incident Is closed.

THOSE NEW YORK MURDERS.

take his "step off" into the great I'm.

He cannot be called rattlesnake

liceman in New York and when he
had been arrested he was escorted bo

compensation, which they received
for their consideration in not hand

size the fact that he was known in Il
friendly way to the police force Of New

PARIS, May 8. Jack Dempsey, champion heavyweight pug of the universe, who is spending some Of his hard earned kale seeing the sights of Montmartre, and dining in the Champs Elysees, in the shank of the afternoon, when the fair fe- miniinity of Paris is on parade, re- faxed sufficiently from his pur- suit of pleasure, to discuss busi- ness with a representative of the Associated Press today. He talked over the coming fight between Georges Carpenter and Ted Lewis which is staged for May eleventh. He said he was not averse to meet ing Carpenter again, if the latter succeeded in putting the o. K. sign on Lewis. Dempsey said the battle could take place in either London or Paris, and expressed his pleasure at being able to give the European fight fans chance to see him in action.
 PARIS, May 3.-In his talk with the Associated Press representative, Jack Dempsey charged as pure none- sense the reports which have been given great currency that he was about to marry Peggy Joyce, the famous actres, or that he would marry French girl. He declared My heart is tightly held in the gentle grasp of an American girl I am afraid she will be jealous when she reads these yarns"
