1812-Dated REPUBLICAN PROX (List of R.I. Candidates) James Fenner, Governor & Daniel Champlin Lieut. Governor
1812-Dated War of 1812 Period, REPUBLICAN PROX (List of Political Candidates) from Rhode Island, Extremely Fine.
1812-Dated War of 1812 Period, (Headed) "REPUBLICAN PROX" (List of Political Candidates) from Rhode Island measuring 7.5" x 5.5", nicely printed with deeply embossed lettering and border on laid paper, once folded along vertical and hoizontal axes. Formerly mounted for display with minor remnants of paper visible on the four corners of the blank reverse. Repaired marginal tear at lower right (just impinging on the border) and with a old tape reinforced at the bottom of the vertical fold on the reverse. A few toning spots are scattered about, with none of any significant import. The word "Prox" was new to this cataloger and because of the period that followed the word, it appeared to be an abbreviation. However, the word PROX simply means a list of Candidates. The word PROX figures prominently in Rhode Island politics in the early 1800's. The two planks of the Republican platform, as expressed here, were "No Foreign Influence and No Separation of the States." Ten candidates were presented for Senators, plus three candidates for minor offices. At the top of the ticket were James Fenner for Governor and Daniel Champlin for Lieutenant Governor.
Fenner was an incumbent Governor who failed to retain his seat in this election, but he came back and served as Governor again from 1824 to 1831 and from 1843 to 1845.
James Fenner (January 22, 1771 - April 17, 1846) was an American politician who served as a United States Senator as well as the 7th, 11th and 17th Governor of Rhode Island (on three occasions). He was the son of Arthur Fenner, the fourth governor of Rhode Island.
Fenner was born in Providence in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. He graduated from Brown University in 1789, and was married to Sarah Whipple Jenckes (his first cousin, once removed) on November 17, 1792. He served as United States senator from 1805 to 1807, then gave up his senatorship to become Governor of Rhode Island, two years after his father died in office.
Fenner served as Governor from 1807 to 1811, from 1824 to 1831, and from 1843 to 1845. Fenner was elected to his first two terms as a Democratic-Republican and as his third term as a member of the Law and Order Party of Rhode Island. In his final term, Fenner became the first governor to serve under the Rhode Island Constitution, adopted in 1842. Fenner died in his mansion "What Cheer" in 1846, and was interred in the North Burial Ground in Providence.
