The Mugwumps were Republican political activists in the United States who were intensely opposed to political corruption. They were never formally organized. Typically they switched parties from the Republican Party by supporting Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the presidential election of 1884. They switched because they rejected the long history of corruption associated with Republican candidate James G. Blaine. In a close election, the Mugwumps claimed they made the difference in New York state and swung the election to Cleveland. The jocular word "mugwump", noted as early as 1832, is from Algonquian mugquomp, "important person, kingpin" (from mugumquomp, "war leader"), implying that they were "sanctimonious" or "holier-than-thou" in holding themselves aloof from party politics

  • Der Begriff Mugwump bezeichnet einen Politiker, der unabhängig oder neutral ist. Bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen in den Vereinigten Staaten von 1884 wurde damit der progressive Flügel in der Republikanischen Partei bezeichnet, der in Abweichung zur Parteilinie nicht den eigenen Kandidaten James G. Blaine unterstützte, sondern den Demokraten Grover Cleveland. Der Begriff stammt aus der Algonkin-Sprache und bedeutet Großer Häuptling aber auch wichtiger Mann. Im allgemeinen englischen Sprachgebrauch bezeichnet ein Mugwump jemanden, der sich nicht entscheiden kann oder will. (de)

  • Les mugwumps étaient des membres du Parti républicain qui s'en sont démarqués en soutenant le candidat démocrate Grover Cleveland à l'élection présidentielle américaine de 1884. Ils changèrent de parti par rejet de la corruption financière attachée au candidat républicain James Blaine. Dans cette élection serrée, l'appui des Mugwumps a pu faire la différence dans l'État de New York et apporter la victoire à Cleveland. Le mot mugwump, apparu dès 1832, vient du natick mugquomp signifiant « personne importante, chef » (de mugumquomp : « chef de guerre ») et fut employé à titre de plaisanterie pour assimiler ceux qui s'affranchissaient des partis politiques à des dévots marqués par un sentiment de supériorité.
