MUGWUMP

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 956 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUGWUMP , in American political
slang
 , a name applied to any independent voter, and especially to those independents in the Republican party who refused to support
James
  G. Blaine, when nominated by that party for the
presidency
  in 1884; as since adopted in
England
  it usually means one who stays neutral and votes for no party. Originally " mugwump " (mogkiomp) was a
North
  American Indian word, in the Massachusett dialect of the Algonquian, meaning "
great
  man " (mogki,
great
 ; omp, man); and in New
England
  it was used of self-conceited politicians.
