Question

What do you think we're the most significant factors in bringing an end to the populist party?

Answer 1

Populist’s platform (or Omaha platform) was adopted to bring back the Republic government to the ordinary people. The convention was held on July 4, 1892 at Omaha, Nebraska. The platform aimed at proposing different social reforms of the state such as income taxes, direct Senatorial elections, single terms for Presidential and Vice-Presidential electorate, secret ballots, working day reductions, national currency, financial assistance to farmers, soldier pensions, legislative system, railroads, telegraphs & telephone systems as well as postal savings, and many more. The movement lost its power on the 1896 election.
