	Populist Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Populist Party was formed by members of the Alliance, in conjunction with the Knights of Labor, in 1889–1890.
		Thomas E. Watson was the Populist nominee for president in 1904 and in 1908, after which the party effectively ceased to exist.
		This party became the electoral vehicle for the right-wing Presidential campaigns of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in 1988, and of former Green Beret officer Bo Gritz in 1992, but was defunct by 1996.

		POPULIST PARTY [Populist party] in U.S. history, political party formed primarily to express the agrarian protest of the late 19th cent.
		No decision was made to form a political party, but when the Republican and Democratic parties both straddled the currency question at the 1892 presidential conventions, a convention was held at Omaha, and the Populist party was formed (1892).
		The goal of the Populists in 1892 was no less than that of replacing the Democrats as the nation's second party by forming an alliance of the farmers of the West and South with the industrial workers of the East.

	General Election 2005
		The Democrat, Chart Thai and Mahachon parties are hoping to benefit from the type of hype that surrounded Thai Rak Thai in "the battle of brains" four years ago, but instead they have run out of political ideas and have become the thing they hate.
		The Democrat Party, in particular, was a big disappointment to Mr Sompob, as its management has failed to attract the attention of voters to their candidates.
		Because the opposition parties have not translated the decline in Thai Rak Thai's popularity into a significant boost for themselves, the best chance to at least reduce the majority of the ruling party has passed them by, he said.

	1896: The People's Party
		The People's Party (or Populist Party, as it was widely known) was much younger than the Democratic and Republican Parties, which had been founded before the Civil War.
		One, the fusion Populists, sought to merge with the Democrats, using the threat of independent organization to force changes in the major party's platform.
		In practice, these Populists were not "in the middle," but more sweeping in their political goals than either of the major parties, while fusionists were more willing to compromise in hopes of winning powerful Democratic allies.

	4/15/04 Krebs Populist Movement
		The 19th-century Populist movement's recognition, for example, of the plight of family farmers and labor and the efforts made on their behalf were premised on the idea that unless society was attuned to their needs it ceased to be democratic.
		After the agrarian populists adopted the Omaha Platform of 1892 they circulated it far and wide not only seeking support for its provisions, but using it as a guide to which candidates they would support for public office.
