The Anti-Masonic Party was founded in 1828 in upstate New York, capitalizing on the negative sentiment towards Freemasons after William Morgan, a Mason himself, was kidnapped and supposed dead because he attempted to publish information on Masonic secrets. The party introduced the concept of nominating committees in 1831, nominating former Attorney General William Wirt to run for president. He did not win the election the following year, and ironically split the opposition against Andrew Jackson, aiding his victory. Andrew Jackson was a primary enemy of the Anti-Masonic Party.

From the textbook The Brief American Pageant Eighth Edition by Kennedy, Cohen, and Piehl (p 180-190). Short answers in bold.
1.) "For the first time, a third party entered the field-the newborn Anti-Masonic party, which opposed the influence and secrecy of the Masonic order."
-This party formed in reaction to the possible murder of a New York man in 1826. It was suspected that the man was about to reveal the Mason's secret rituals, and had to be "taken care of," if you will. President Jackson was a proud Mason, so this party was also anti-Jackson.
2.) "A further novelty...was the calling of national nominating conventions (three of them) to name candidates. The Anti-Masons and National Republicans added still another innovation when they adopted formal platforms, articulating and publicizing their positions on the issues."

These words are typically used together to imply that Freemasonry and Judaism (or even Zionism) are inextricably linked. "Anti Jewish-Masonic" refers to anything that is opposed to the conspiratorially-perceived union of Jewish and Masonic interests.
In truth, while there are some Jewish Freemasons, most Freemasons are not Jewish and most Jews are not Freemasons. They also have distinct interests and beliefs. If you go to synagogues (for Judaism) or lodges (for Freemasonry), members will clarify what those interests are.
