Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1855-03-31

Yaw" care you twenty-one years
old - "Yaw" do you live in the
City :" "yaw." Hersone of Nogg-'s
friends culpably in.ea6ssa, evidently
with the desire of ridiculing the august
proceedings, and asked: "Have you
got thirty-one wives'" another man ask
ed if he had his hat full of sour-krout ;
and a third was anxious to be informed
if he could stand on his head and smoke
pipe, and balance potash kettle on
his heels to all of which he placidly
responded "Yaw." Inspector hurried
to the rescue, and put the question !:
Do you vote for Hoggs :" and receive
ing the same complacent " Yaw." he
took his vote and showed him aside All
sorts of odd customers came up to de-
posit their ballots, but it is remarka>
bic fact that if they wanted to vote for
Briggs, Scroggs, Or Noggs, or in fact,
aay one but Hoggs, they were sure to be
crowded, showed and hust led, and gene
rally left the room with bloody noses,
and their ballots still in their hands
Fun grew fast and furious whisky man
ahead, bat wanted tremendous MAORI
ty; the pauper forces of Randall's Is
lands visiting the City for that occasion
only came up and voted Almost time
to close the polls, but the Inspector kept
the box open minutes after sundown to
receive the votes OF sixteen promiscuous
rascaIs, who had been habeas corpused
from the Tombs, particularly for this oc
casion only, and who voted every man
:or H"ggs.
Polls closed intense excitement, bon
fl es built, squibs, rockets, guns and
Chinese crackers liquor scarce, the can
didates having cut off the supply as soon
as the voting was over crowd sat down
in bar-rooms and engine-housrs, and
crowded about the secret rooms to get
dispatches about twelve O'Clock they
began to come it was soon evident that
Noggs was beaten; Boggs was dis
tanced, and Scroggs was nowhere it
was Hoggs everywhere Hogs in the
street ; Hogs in the tavern Hogs at
bonfres; Hoggs forever; no one but
Hogs; triumphant Hogs victorious
HoggS; high old Hogs, the peoples
choice.
This morning NoggS's Typographical
organ announced the utter run, and
speedy annihilation of the country, un-
der the destructive rule of Hoggs and
1t asserted that honor, honesty and truth
had left the nation. Patriotism and de-
cency had deserted, hand -in-hand, and
that the outraged Goddess of Liberty
had taken eff her nisht-cap, pinned up
her pettlcoats, put on a pair of COW hide
boots, and bid an eternal farewell to
fallen, degenerate Columbia n the
other hand, Hoggs's paper rejoiced over
the defeat of TIE ALI d armies babe
Noggs, boggs and Scroggs an Affection
ate adieu, and consigned them to obliv-
ion and then rejoiced that they had
chosen ruler SO capable as the glorious
Hogs, the proud, far-seeing, generous,
liberal, independent Hogs, who guaran-
tees TO the people their daily gin, and
nightly riots. Hogs, the magnani-
meus-Hogg, who stands up to the pop-
ular creed-unlimited whisky-Hoggs,
who remains true to his alcoholic in
stincts-Hoggs, who battles for the peo-
pies rights-Hoggs, who has SO nobly
earned the title bestowed upon him by
the larger beer shops, whose liberty he
has secured, and the whisky dens whose
morality he has vouched ior-Hoggs,
defender of the Faith, and leader of
the Faithful
