Oriuin of "Whiq."

Several reasons have been assign
ed 10 account for the word "Whig.'
BY some the word is supposed to be
a contraction of a longer one,
"whiggamore," which in some parts
of England and Scotland, especially
Scotland, signifies a drover or
hcrdcr. 1t was in 1879 that the
word first became common in the
British isles, when the struggle was
in progress between the peasantry
and the aristocracy to have or not
to have the bill passed by parIla-
ment to exclude the Duke of York
from the line of succession. All
who were opposed to placing the
dukc~in the line of succession were
derisively called "whiggamores," or
Growers"
But Scotch tradition gives a diff
fercnt reason for the existence of
the word. 1t is this: During the
early religious wars in Scotland the
weakest of the factions used the
words "Wc Hope In God" as a mot
to. The initials of these words
were placed on their banners. thus,
wv. II. !. c." and soon all the fol
lowers of that clan were given the
title of "Whig," which was after
ward attached as a party nickname.

While Robert Stewart was gov

was brought in from the peniten-
tiary as an applicant for a pardon.
He was "A large, powerful fellow.

him he said, "You will commit some

that when you II mate again you
will never take a billet of wood in
your hand and drive a sick boy out

The steamboat man said he would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such a ques-
ton.
The governor replied: because
some day that boy may become a
governor, and you may want him to
pardon YOU for a crime. One dark,
stormy night. many years ago, you
stopped your boat on the Mississippi
river to take on IA load of wood.
