This paper shows the efforts of the Governorship, and especially Jovan Ristic’s efforts during the four-year mandate, to gather a large number of Liberals around him using various means. Most of the Liberals accepted the regime of the Governorship hoping that it would soften the political-bureaucratic regime by introducing certain reforms. The second governor, Jovan Ristic, together with the first one, Blaznavac, gathered political supporters around him using all levers of power, not even excluding the liberals of St. Andrea’s assembly, even though they had never seen him as their political ally. Despite the fact that he stood with an enemy of the liberals, Ilija Garasanin, Ristic managed to impose himself as their leader. This statesman started the reign with the movement of liberals, although he did not believe in the ideas of liberalism himself.
