英语词汇hop on the bandwagon的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hop on the bandwagon. Barnum and earlier showmen per- fected the American bandwagon—a brass band perched atop a brightly decked dray pulled by a team of horses—but politicians quickly adopted it for national and local election campaigns. It wasn’t, however, until the handsome silver- throated champion of silver, William Jennings Bryan, ran for president for a second time in 1901 that the expression to hop on the bandwagon, “to rush to join a popular movement,” en- tered the language. The phrase remembers local politicians and ward heelers hopping up on Bryan’s bandwagons as they banged and rolled through town, to show the support for their candidate and help create enthusiasm for him.
