Ocala Demands.

The farmers assembled on the Ocals
platform this week, and after much dis
cussion of the needs and duties of Magis
trates, have formulated the following
questions to be propounded to the various
candidates for Magistrate embraced in
the division of the county seat:
/. Why do you want to be elected
magistrate?
2. If elected will you settle criminal
cases?
3. If compromised do you propose to
turn over to the county any of the money:
If so, what portion thereof?
4. Will you accept raise of salary
If so, do you intend to ask forit and work
that end?
5. If elected do you propose to work
up cases in order to benefit thereby?
6. Will you send negro to the chain
gang without trial? If 50, how long?
Z. Will you be impartial in all your
verdicts?
8. Would you find an innocent man
guilty just to send him to the gang?
9. Do you intend to use your office for
political purposes? If so, in what way
10. Will you keep proper record OF
all your work as magistrate, subject to IN
spection at all times and make your re-
turns in accordance with law?
II. Will you turn over all fines collect
ed by you? If not, what do you propose
to do with this money?
10. If after you have worked for a
raise of salary, would you hound our
representatives, and if they cannot give
it, fight them on other grounds?
13. Will you file an oath in office OF
Clerk of Court, as required by law, that
you will turn over all fines to the county
treasurer?
1t was further decided to invite the
various candidates for magistrate to come
down on the Ocala next Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock, then anG there to
answer each for himself the various ques-
tions and expostulate on the events of
the day, duties of officers, etc., as seemeth
most fit for himself. We cordially invite
any and all to be present, and most
especially the various candidates.
While this is for and only applies to
the Bamberg candidates for magistrate,
yet we deem it proper to say that there is
no patent or copyright on the above
questions, and any one desiring to use any
or all of them for home consumption is
at perfect liberty to do so, and may rest
assured that the Ocala will not have a
word to say. But, however, if they should
be used in any place, other than the place
from whence they originated, then we
would kindly request those who may see
any merit in the same to report the effects
together with the workings thereof
