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.

His illustrious character, his great ability, and his financial experience point to him as the leading defender of free-trade applied to the industrial system of Great Britain.
Mr. Gladstone apologizes for his apparent interference with our affairs.
He may be assured that apology is superfluous.
Americans of all classes hold him in honor; free-traders will rejoice in so eminent an advocate, and protectionists, alw

Railway, the Intercontinental
Or three Americas.—One of the important results of the international American conference, held in Washington in 1889-90, was its recommendation that an international commission be created to ascertain the feasibility, the cost, and the available location for a railroad connecting the countries of South and Central America with Mexico and the United States.
This recommendation was cordially endorsed by Secretary Blaine in submitting the report to President Harrison, who transmitted it to Congress, asking that an appropriation be made to commence the surveys.
In the same act which authorized the establishment of the bureau of the American republics—the diplomatic and consular appropriation act of July 14, 1890—the Intercontinental Railway Commission was created.
In this act it was provided that three commissioners on the part of the
