The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1870-08-18

When the Point Pleasant Register says
that 9. p. T. Moore, condemns and
lsnomaccS" the address Of the Democratic
and Conservative Executive Committee Of
this county, published in this paper some
two or three weeks ago, it wilfully aud
malciously misreprcsonts that gentleman.
He docs or has not done any such thing,
aud Tippctt can not provo his bruzen as
sertion that ic does or did. To Condemn
and denouuco" is one thing; to disapproyc
as impolitic is far different -Muson Coan-
" journal
In looking up tho words condemn"
and "disapproye," We find but little differ
cncc as to their real meaning. Webster
(who is authority gives their definitions
as follows:
"CoYDEMN, to pronounce to be wrong;
"to utter sentence Of disapprOJation
against; to ccnsuro."
"DIsAppBoys, to pass unFavorablc iudg-
"ment upon; to condemn by an act Of tho
Judgment; to regard as wrong or mex
"pcdient; to censure."
The odds arc tue difference between the
words. Yet tho writer in tho journal
asks il wo arc such "numbskull' that We
"caunot distinguish the difereucc?" We
confess our ignorance, as We cannot dds.
tinguish tho difference" in their real
meaning; but the polished, educated, and
refined author of the above, from long and
hard study, through day and through night,
has been enabled to distinguish the Diff
crnce. Away with your Webster.
And now that tho writer is SO touchy
about the little word condemn, ,wo arc
willing to accept his own word disqpprocc,
if it suits the writcr'best
But, tho writer in the Journal, true to
his natural instinct, wilfully aud intention
ally misquotes US. We did not say that
Mr.. Moore condemns and denounccs" the
address of the County Democratic Execu'
tive Committc. We said this: that Mr..
Moore condemned the Committees address;
we did not say he denounced it We say
now, Mr.. Moore "disapprovcd' Of it,
aud IN doing SO We do not "wilfully and
maliciously misrepressnt that gentleman"
We believe We can prove 'tho brazcn as
sertiou" that he did "disapprovO" Of the
action Of your Committee, in its assault
upon Mr.. Sisson. Let us sec. He told
Hiram R. Howard (cditor) that he 'dis-
approved" of it; he told your Committee
that he "disapprovcd" of it; he told F. W,
sisson that he "disapprovcd" of it; he told
in the presence of John Cooley and others
that he "disapproved" of it; he told US thai
he 'disapproyeG" of it; he said publicly OF
the streets that he 'disapprOved" Of it
aud We could go on and give the names o
many more as proof of the "brason asscr
ton" that Mr. Moore did and does, dds
approve" of your committees address. :
Well might he do so, whom he finds a par
ty STOPPING to such i4famy in order {
make political capital, by attempting Il
iniuro the fair name of Mr.. Sisson. Wei
might 10 "disapprove" of tho address
