摘要：El presente artículo reconstituye y analiza detalladamente el itinerario que llevó al Partido Democrático de Chile (PD) en los últimos afíos del siglo XIX, al ingresar a la Alianza Liberal e incorporarse de lleno al sistema parlamentarista. Plante amos que el PD tuvo dos motivaciones básicas que se entrelazaron estrechamente y que hicieron indefectible su convergencia con la Alianza Liberal y participación en el juego parlamentarista. Uno ideológico: su anticonservadurismo y anticlericalismo; y uno práctico: la necesidad de "defender" las diputaciones obtenidas en el momento de la calificación de las elecciones por los parlamentarios, lo que los obligaba a buscar aliados. Ambos motivos se desprendían, a la vez, del carácter reformista de este partido, de su autoidentificación con elliberalismo corno su ala plebeya, más decidida y consecuente- y de su proyecto de reforma democrática del Estado oligárquico.
其他摘要：The present article reconstructs and analyzes in detail the path that the Chilean Democratic Party (PD) took during the final years of the nineteenth century, upon entering the Liberal Alliance and fully participating in the parliamentary system. The article argues that the PD had two basic motivations which were closely interwoven and which made its incorporation into the Liberal Alliance as well as its participation in the parliamentary political game inevitable. One ofthese motivations was ideological: the parties' anticonservatism and anticlericalismo The other was practica1: the necessity to "defend" their congressional seats, which forced them to find allies in the process of certifying the elections by the parliament. At the same time both motives came :Erom the reformist character ofthe PD, its' self-identification as the plebian side of liberalism (more resolute and consequent) and :Erom its project to democratically reform the oligarchic state.
