So basically the People's Party is founded two years earlier than in OTL? I don't see that it would make much difference. Cleveland will still win in 1892, and the Populists are still doomed ultimately, because of the irresistible attraction of the Bryan Democracy and in particular because of the race issue in the South where the Democrats will argue that any third-party movement paves the way for "Negro domination."
