Origin Of Caucus"

Caucus" is said to have arisen
from corruption of the term "calk-
,er's house" After violent fighting be-
tween the military and the ropemak-
ers of Boston in 1770 the ropemakers
and the calkers, the better to meet
the soldiers. formed themselves into
a society. at the meetings of which
infiammatory addresses were delivered
and the most violent resolutions
passed against the British govern
ment and its agents and instruments
in America" The tories scoffed at
the calkers' meetings and the term
became in time softened into caucus.
However. Dr. Murray declares that
the word existed previously, and he
suggests the Greek "kaukos," 4 cup
