is completed, our dominion is little more than a geographical expression
- Sir John A. Macdonald

(*) On
April 9 ,
1872 ,
Francis Godschall Johnson was appointed as Lieutenant
Governor, replacing Archibald. His commission was revoked before
he was sworn in, however, and Archibald was retained in the
position for a few months longer. Johnson was usually included
in nineteenth-century lists of Manitoba's Lt. Governors, but was
dropped from the ranks in the early twentieth-century.
