Grover Cleveland promoted one of them, William C. Endicott, to the post of Secretary of the Interior, alienating Irish voters who would have preferred Mayor Patrick Collins of Boston. They first emerged when Carl Schurz and George William Curtis walked out of a national convention, and then proudly adopted the derisive term Charles Dana had used of them in the New York Sun, supposedly an Algonquian word meaning "big chief."  Their support for civil service reform isolated them even within their own party, where they opposed the Half-Breeds and the Stalwarts.  FTP, name these progressive-minded Republicans who couldn't stomach the "continental liar" James G. Blaine.
