Hepostulated (he was wrong) the existence of a 'sticky' substance like pudding that had a positive charge that the electrons was stuck in. Like plum pudding. Electrons were like plums actual particles with negative charges. The pudding was just a smear of stuff with a positive charge and held the atom together.
