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]
