词汇 rum romanism and rebellion
词源
rum, Romanism, and rebellion. This political slogan is usu- ally attributed to the supporters of Herbert Hoover, who used it to defeat Catholic Democratic candidate Al Smith for the presi- dency in 1928, calling the Democrats the party of rum, Rom- anism, and rebellion. But the words were first used in 1884 by New York Presbyterian minister Samuel D. Burchard, who spoke, in presidential candidate James Blaine’s presence, of the Democrats as “the party whose antecedents are rum, Roman- ism, and rebellion,” this offending the large Irish Catholic vote in New York, causing Blaine to lose the state by a scant 1,000 votes and thus lose the election to Grover Cleveland. Blaine’s political reputation didn’t help him either. The Democrat’s slo- gan for that election was “James G. Blaine, James G. Blaine,/ Continental liar from the state of Maine.”
