Egregious Omission I am going through John Sherman's Memoirs of 40 years in the House, Senate and Cabinet. In Chapter 33 of the Popular Edition he refers to the "so-called National Party" which, as is seen from the remarks at a public meeting held in August 1878, is clearly of the looter persuation. Turning to Edward Bellamy's two works, "Looking Backward" and "Equality", we find such reverent mention of the national party as to make it clear it was of an altruistic bent. We should include mention here that even before the emergence of the American Party there were things in America called--however informally and undocumented in Johnson & Porter's National Party Platforms--the National Party, and distinct from the Republicans and Democrats. translator (talk) 12:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
