Neste artigo são examinadas as tendências teóricas dos políticos do Partido Republicano Rio-grandense, que têm por base o positivismo de Augusto Comte. Entre os princípios mais importantes, por eles observados, estava o do continuísmo político. Isto pode elucidar o fato de que, ao longo dos 40 anos de hegemonia política do PRR - de 1897 a 1937 -, Porto Alegre, capital do estado, teve apenas três intendentes.
