Explanation

The Populist Party, also called the People’s Party, was organized in 1891. It then adopted the Omaha Platform at its 1892 convention, and James B. Weaver lost the presidential election later in 1892. William Jennings Bryan spoke at the Democratic convention in 1896, so the party’s formation happened first.
