The Populist Party name was also used by a small party which existed from 1984 to 1996, not connected to the original party, which ran as its Presidential candidates [[Bob Richards]] in 1984, [[David Duke]] in 1988, and [[Bo Gritz]] in 1992. That party dissolved in 1996 without nominating a candidate.

==Modern Incarnations==
Several modern parties are using the Populist name, st least two in the Midwest and two in California. The American Populist Party is more conservative than some of the others, advocating Constitutional government and what it calls classic liberalism, emphasizing Natural Rights and State sovereignty. The party members are an odd mix of liberals, libertarians, and fiscal conservatives who consider the economy to be their highest priority.
