Origin of the Kickers term in 19th century politics
A short note traces the term kicker to a Steuben County New York politician Bill Stearns famed for kicking rather than punching in debates. It recounts a county convention where he opposed a measure and earned the nickname, later applied to stubborn voters. The piece also previews other antiquated curiosities from Public Opinion and Boston cemetery car trains.
