	Mugwump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mugwumps were Republicans who supported Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the 1884 United States presidential election.
		Mugwumps were often portrayed as "fence-sitters" with part of their body on the side of the Democrats and the other on the side of the Republicans.
		The term mugwump may be read as a combination of "mug" and "wump", which means respectively the face and the backside (rump).

		Under the circumstances, starting a third party to highlight the lack of a classical liberal alternative and to sabotage the candidacy of what was in their opinion the greater of the two evils may have been the most politically effective choice.
		Joining the Democratic Party was, therefore, a pretty radical step for New England Protestant reformers of the Jerusalem-building variety but it paid off, as the Mugwumps were probably the deciding factor in securing the party's nomination for Grover Cleveland, a classical liberal with an unblemished record in public life (though with some personal relations issues).
		That the Mugwumps refused to treat their, often distrusted, allies as "useful idiots" can be seen by the fact that the Anti-Imperialist League endorsed the hated Williams Jennings Bryan in the presidential race of 1900.

		The Mugwumps figured prominently in the 1870 founding of this organization, and by 1884 at least fifty-three of the most politically active Mugwumps belonged to it, five were on its executive committee, and Carter was its president.
		Rives was a model of the Mugwump type--a New York City lawyer educated at Columbia and Cambridge who was extremely active in reform politics, served in the administration of President Grover Cleveland, and belonged to a variety of gentlemen's clubs.
		According to the Mugwump moral code, the keys to ethical behavior in the private realm were, as in the public context, the avoidance of self-interest and the pursuit of the public good.

	H-SHGAPE Book Reviews: Tucker, Mugwumps: Public Moralists of the Gilded Age
		In a series of short chapters, he then explores the manner in which the Mugwump notion of political morality, most notably their determination to place the public interest over that of private or party interests was the common and consistent theme underlying their many reform efforts.
		It was Wayland's influence, Tucker argues, that allowed the Mugwumps to chart their own course in the arena of public affairs, and to remain aloof from and independent of political partisanship.
		Yet, he is largely successful in his goal of proving that the Mugwumps thought and action were guided by a highly articulated moral philosophy, and that in their own way the Mugwumps were trying to "do the right thing in American life and government" (p.

		The Mugwumps, as the Liberals came to be known, are often perceived as a group of people deserving of approbation because they opposed the governance of patronage and corruption; in their own day, however, they failed to be enduring players in national affairs.
		The Mugwumps were fed up with the decades of government fueled by dirty money and controlled by uncultivated opportunists; however, the reformers' haughty aristocratic nature prevented them from attacking the spoilsmen at the source of their power-- the people.
		The Mugwumps needed a forum to convey their ideas in an appealing fashion, one that would not be dismissed by the general populace as yet another pretentious and verbose attempt to get back "in".

	Weird Words: Mugwump
		Mugwump was brought into English in the early nineteenth century as a humorous term for a boss, bigwig, grand panjandrum, or other person in authority, often one of a minor and inconsequential sort.
		Hence the old joke that a mugwump is a person sitting on the fence, with his mug on one side and his wump on the other.
		There is also a slangy sense—less known these days, I believe—of a person who has been persuaded by his possession of a minor official position into a sense of self-importance, often becoming obnoxious as a result.

		Tucker portrays Mugwumps not as selfish agents of the middle class but as fascinating practitioners of eighteenth-century public virtue and nineteenth-century social science.

		The magazine grew to become a respected journal for collectors and dealers of vintage, mostly fretted and stringed, musical instruments -- banjos, guitars, mandolins, etc. The instruments we wrote about were generally American made during the period from after the Civil War to just after WWII.
		I said that Mugwumps magazine was for those people who didn't go along with the trend to electric instruments.

		Unfortunately the Mugwumps, as these gentlemen came to be known, did not maximize their familiarity with the shared culture but rather unveiled their own inherently anti-democratic disposition in their attempts to clean up government.
		Lacking popular support, the dispassionate, issue-oriented Mugwump agenda could not enjoy lasting victory in the nineteenth century; only an approach steeped in pop culture would successfully reach a body politic so captivated by spectacle and humor.
		In the late 1870s a liberal Austrian immigrant named Joseph Keppler combined Mugwump ideology and illustrated satire, creating at long last a popular medium for the expression of intellectual politics.

		The anti-Blaine forces might have prevailed if they had been willing to renominate the incumbent president, Chester A. Arthur, but the mugwumps felt that he too was insufficiently reformist.
		Once in office, Cleveland proved to be a less aggressive reformer than his liberal backers had hoped, and a number of them deserted him during his unsuccessful campaign for reelection against Republican Benjamin Harrison in 1888.
		Throughout these years, the mugwumps were useful members of the Democratic coalition, although neither their achievements, in terms of reform, nor their level of influence ever quite matched their aspirations.

		To the Mugwumps listing, I would add "c.1897 to c.1910" to the third entry, as the 1901 catalog demonstrates that the brand was started at least that early, and not in 1904 (when apparently another announcement appeared).
		A Sept. 20th, 1900 artist's letter mentions playing a May Flower for 3 years, so the mandolins were available from at least 1897 on.
