This answer gave the following elaborate definition: Fr. n. lejagasses, Sp. mugwumpotta; Ger. der A mug who muggerloggerbierich) wumps; the bearer of the gonfalon; the small part of a Democratic procession which does not leave its cape, cap and torch at the Democratic headquarters, a rider for lodgings at the MUG-WUM- P, (muh-gwum- p; police station. MUG-WUM- P, v.

Now Mr. Fuller, whose word is never doubted by the honorable circle lers consciousness; tickled his hum- oristic fancy for a moment; was apparently laid away on some shelf in his memory; and thus, in the course of some automatic psychological dusting on the night of the Tilden parade in Detroit it was pulled out and brought into use. Thus it appeared in print in 1876. It did not come into immediate use, but slumbered for some years like the term chestnut and many other slang phrases that have suddenly burst into the full bloom of popularity. It was not until the presidential term of 1884, eight years after Mr. .Fuller unchained the word mugwump with all the ostentation of his double definitions, that it came into general use.
