THE WISCONSIN VOTE.

An analysis of the vote in several
counties in Wisconsin, supplemented by
variety of facts, is believed to show
that the popular impression that most
of the Prohibition vote was to come
from the Republicans was one of the
delusions that befogged the Democratic
vision before the election and added to
the shock that emanated from the bal
lot boxes. 1t appears quite conclusively
that the bulk of the Republican vote
that started out on the arid line fell
back, and left the contiding Democrats
to carry the FISK banner and bring dis
aster to the party. They don't seem to
have quite understood that Democratic
encouragement was for Republicans
exclusively.

THE romantic views quite commonly
taken by Prohibitionists cannot be at
tributed to any unhealthy exhilarant,
but are not calculated to enlist the con-
fidence of the conservative classes.
Notable illustrations were had of the
point i'll the faneiful figures that were
to come from the ballot boxes. AT the
recent anniversary of the debut of
FRANCIS MURPHY as temperance
evangelist, it was stated that his efforts
had secured 100000 signers to the
temperance pledge. That is loose use
of figures, like the million of votes to be
given FISK. Temperance in speech is
becoming. as we'll as in the use of intoX-
icantS.

The fettered song would rise in vain
Amidst tue storm of wild unrest;

And over grief exultant soar.

So rare, so sweet, SO fraught with love,

Where the Mugwump Came From.

Harper's Weekly.
American Notes and Queries recently
answered the question of the origin and
significance of the word MugWump. In
its original form, mugqu0mp, it be-
Ionged to the dialect of the Algonquin
Indians. and in appears in EliOt's trans
lation of the Bible into Indian Cam
bridge. Mass, 1861, as rendering of
the Hebrew word sighifying leader, and
riZe its appropriation by the famous
Century club, of New York;. The Notes
and Queries says that jesuit father,
peralexen to traslate into Indian the
sentence, mot to think more highly of
himself than he ought to think" con-
suited an Indian parishi0ner, who said
at once, "Mugwump." ItaddS that it has
heard of petition presented to Peter
Stuyvesant, signed by an Esopus chief,
which bore his title. Mugwump.
The word, according to the Notes,
fingered along the Long Island shore
and the Massachusetts coast after the
Indians had vanished, in the sense of a
man who thought himself of conse-
quence. Mr.. keenan,. editor of the In
dianapolis Sentinel, found the word in
New England In 1872 and used it in the
headline for an article treating of big
wig in local politics. and in March. 1884,
it was applied by the New York Sun to
a person interested in some local issue
at Dobbs Ferry. calling him ''Mugwump
ID. o. Bradley"
We remember seeing a similar appli-
cation of the word in report of polit-
ical affairs in Connecticut at about the
same time i'll 1854. A little later, imme-
diately upon the nomination Of Mr..
Blaine, a protest of Republicans was
made in Boston which developed into
the independent movement. The bolt
ers were dubbed mugwumps, in deri-
sion. They were much too sensible not
to accept the name. which, as indicating
conscientious independence in politics,
has become title of honor.
