High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Locofocos were a radical faction of the Democratic Party that existed from 1835 until the mid-1840s. The faction was originally named Equal Rights Party, and was created in New York City as a protest against that city's regular Democratic organization. It contained a mixture of anti-Tammany Democrats and labor union veterans of the Working Men's Party. They were vigorous advocates of laissez-faire and opponents of monopoly. Their leading intellectual was editorial writer William Leggett. The term "Locofoco" derives from "locofoco, a kind of friction match," the name of which match itself probably derives from "locomotive + Italian fuoco, foco fire, from Latin focus hearth". It originated when a group of New York Jacksonians used these matches to light candles to continue a political meeting in Tammany Hall after a conservative group tried to break up the meeting by turning off the gaslights.
