New England (United States) (search for this): entry mugwumps
Mugwumps,
A term of reproach applied to those Republicans who in the summer of 1884 bolted the nomination of Blaine for President, and supported Cleveland.
Their objections to the Republican candidate were founded partly on his conduct of foreign affairs when Secretary of State, and partly on the charges made against his character.
The Mugwumps were especially numerous in New England and New York, and in the latter State they contributed signally to the Democratic victory.
Afterwards many of them continued to act with the Democracy, or with the Cleveland Democracy ; others returned to the Republicans.
The term soon became applied to all independent voters.
