Stalwarts, Half-Breeds, and Mugwumps were factions within the Republican Party in the late 19th century, primarily during the era of President James A. Garfield's administration. Stalwarts were traditionalists who supported the patronage system and the political machine, while Half-Breeds advocated for civil service reform and a more merit-based approach to government appointments. Mugwumps were a group of reform-minded Republicans who broke away from the party to support Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the 1884 election, primarily due to their opposition to corruption and patronage practices. These divisions highlighted the ongoing struggle between reform and the established political order in U.S. politics at the time.
