Origin of ••Whig."
Several rensotw have l«*cn assigned
to account for tire word "Whig.” uni
versally known to nil < tin* English
speaking people. By some tin* word Is
supposed to be a coutraction of a Ion
ger one. "whlggnmOie.” wiiich ID some
parts of Eughtud and Boot laud. csjK*
clally. Scotland, signifies a drover or
border.
It was In HIT!) flint tbe word first
became common In the British isles
when the struggle wils.lh progress be
tween the peusuutry and the aristoc
racy to have or not to have the bill
passed by parliament to exclude the
Duke of York from the line of slh-ees-
■ton. All who were opposed to plnelng
tire duke In the line of stteeesslou were
derisively called "Whlggamores," or
"drovers," Just as the.city dude of to
day ajreakers of Ihe "grungers.” the
"grays." the ~cbln wbiskers" and the
“hay seeders."
But Scotch trtidltlob gives altogether
a different reason for file exlsteuee of
tbe word. If Is this: During the early
religious wars lb Scotland the weakest
of tbe factions used the words "We
Hope lu tlod" ns a motto. The initials
of these words were placed on ilretn
banners thus. "W. II. 1. Cl..” and soon
all tbe followers of that clau were gt$ v
an tbe title of "Whig." which wan-ajfo
erward attached as a parly nickname.
