With the advent of the Kuow-Nothing Party the fire com- panies drifted more into decided political organizations, be- longing either to the Democratic or Know-Nothing Party. The rowdy -element had thus become fostered and it now or- ganized itself into purely political clubs, who ostensibly formed fishing clubs for social purposes, but in reality were formed for the purpose of carrying the election in favor of their party by 10 ruffiaiiisni, intiniidution, rioting, violence, murder and blood- s
...hed.
Encouraged, winked at, and protected by those in author- ity, including therein the police, who were then not yet in uni- form, and by the Justices of the Peace, these political ruffians especially made assaults, committed robberies in the streets in daylight, and many murders on the peaceable law-abiding Ger- man inhabitants of our city.
These tishing clubs, proud of their lawless character and conduct, adopted names indicating their ferocious nature. The most infamous among them were the " Plug Uglies, " the "Tig- ers, " the " Blood Tubs, " the "Pip Paps, " the "Wampoonongs, " the "Hard Times, " "Hunters" and "Empire.
