Answer 1

It's worth noting that there was no election in 18967. Assuming you meant 1896, the Populist movement broke up after the election of 1896 primarily because the Democratic Party began adopting several Populist causes, such as supporting the free coinage of silver and other populist economic policies. This led to a decline in the unique identity and support base of the Populist movement. Additionally, many members of the movement became disillusioned with the lack of progress in achieving their goals and started to drift away. Overall, the movement lost momentum and eventually faded away.
