Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ On 12 November 1891, following the attempted coup d'état by Deodoro da Fonseca and the subsequent resignation of his supporter, Júlio de Castilhos, a government junta was formed, consisting of Joaquim Francisco de Assis Brasil, João de Barros Cassal, General Domingos Barreto Leite and Manoel Luís da Rocha Osório. The political situation in Rio Grande do Sul was turbulent at the time, and the immediate aim of the junta was to maintain public order in the state. On 8 June 1892, the junta transferred its power to José Antônio Correia da Câmara in the face of threats from Júlio de Castilhos' supporters.[8]
  2. ^ a b c On 17 June 1982, José Antônio Correia da Câmara transferred his office to João Nunes da Silva Tavares, better known as Joca Tavares, as a result of strong opposition from Júlio de Castilhos' supporters. Concurrently, Júlio de Castilhos, following a political agreement with Floriano Peixoto - who wanted to prevent power in Rio Grande do Sul falling into the hands of his opponent Gaspar da Silveira Martins - deposed Joca through an armed movement and returned to the government of the state. However, in accordance with the agreement, he resigned his office and handed it over to the state vice president he had appointed, Vitorino Ribeiro Carneiro Monteiro, who in turn was to call a general election.[7][9]
