Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 January 1899 — To Form New Party. [ARTICLE]

To Form New Party.

At Indianapolis, a meeting of the Populists and other reformers was held to discuss the formation of a new national party. The “fusion” wing of the Populist party believes the time has come when there should be co-operation between all the reform forces—the Populists, free silver Republicans, Prohibitionists and Socialists. Feb. 22 a State meeting will be held for the purpose of launching the new party under the name of the “union reform party.” In March next there will be a meeting at Cincinnati to form a national union reform party.
