The provincial legislature chooses Ricardo López Jordán…
April 1870 CE
The provincial legislature chooses Ricardo López Jordán as provisional governor of Entre Rios three days later, to complete Urquiza's term as governor.
In his inaugural address, López Jordán supports the revolution and in passing scarcely mentions that he had "deplored that ...no other way might have been found than that the illustrious victim sacrificed himself."
Later, López Jordán will be asked to head a rebellion against the national government.
He will not rebel and, indeed, will lack the time in which to do so.
