of land, the reclamation of all lands held by railroads and other corporations in excess of what was actually used and needed by them, held for actual settlers only; legislation to ensure that one industry would not be built up at the expense of another; removal of the tariff tax on necessities of life; a graduated income tax; the limitation of all national and state revenues to the necessary expenses of the government economically and honestly administered; strict regulation or ownership of the means of public communication and transportation; and an amendment of the United States Constitution providing for the direct election of United States senators. Originally the convention was going to be held in Jacksonville before the directors of the Florida Farmers' Alliance had learned that Ocala would have more financial incentive. The Florida Alliance was hoping that the convention would be able to be used as a way to persuade people to join their cause. There would also be the added component of an exposition called the "Semi-Tropical Exposition" that was held to display Florida positively.

Result In 1892 the Farmers' Alliance founded the People's (or Populist) Party, and the Ocala Demands were incorporated in the party's Omaha Platform. As the focus of the Farmers' Movement shifted into politics, the Farmer's Alliance faded away. Most of the Populist Party's platform would end up reflecting what was stated in the Ocala Demands. Although the Alliance did manage to merge along northern and southern lines, this did lead to the exclusion of African-Americans who were part of so called "Colored Alliances". Many white supremacists would end up abandoning the movement along with those who were economically conservative as well after the convention.
