WASHINGTONIAN, n. A Potomac tribesman who exchanged the privilege of governing himself for the advantage of good government. In justice to him it should be said that he did not want to. They took away his vote and gave instead The right, when he had earned, to eat his bread. In vain -- he clamors for his "boss," pour soul, To come again and part him from his roll. Offenbach Stutz.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Washingtonians were a temperance Group from early in the History of the United States. Helped many people recover from alcoholism until the Washingtonian's desire to influence other parts of society caused the group to disband. They were used as a model as what not to do by Alcoholics Anonymous and helped set the concepts of "Singleness of Purpose".
