   usage: cabal, combination, faction. an association for
          some purpose considered to be bad is the idea common
          to these terms. a combination is an organized union of
          individuals for mutual support, in urging their
          demands or resisting the claims of others, and may be
          good or bad according to circumstances; as, a
          combiniation of workmen or of employers to effect or
          to prevent a change in prices. a cabal is a secret
          association of a few individuals who seek by cunning
          practices to obtain office and power. a faction is a
          larger body than a cabal, employed for selfish
          purposes in agitating the community and working up an
          excitement with a view to change the existing order of
          things. "selfishness, insubordination, and laxity of
          morals give rise to combinations, which belong
          particularly to the lower orders of society. restless,
          jealous, ambitious, and little minds are ever forming
          cabals. factions belong especially to free
          governments, and are raised by busy and turbulent
          spirits for selfish purposes".          --crabb.
