Contents

The National Union Party was founded just prior to the election of 1886 and appears to have been a precursor to the later populist movement in Nebraska. [2] One source refers to the party as the "anti-monopoly party." [3] The party was very closely associated with various figures such as John H. Powers [4] and Charles Van Wyck who were later prominent in the populist movement. [2] [5] [6]
