                 Origin of the word DEMOCRAT...
                                                            (\_/)
                                                    .-""-.-"\  '\
In the reign of Charles the first, king of         /  \      _.--'
England, a certain Frenchman brought a rat        (\  /_---\\_\_
into London for a public show: he had              `'-.
learned this little animal to imitate         jgs   ,__)
almost every human action and gesture. As
the Frenchman did not well understand the English language, he called
his little imitative companion, "de mock rat," that is "the mimicking
rat."

About the same time, innumerable swarms of demagogues, made their
appearance in London, preaching the doctrine of non-resistance and
passive obedience. The populace, highly displeased with their
doctrines and perceiving many gestures and pranks in these
demagogues, which resembled the Frenchman's rat, called each one "de
mock rat."

The name was easily changed to "Democrat," and applied to every
bawling demagogue, who preached the doctrines of non-resistance and
passive obedience.
