 Required.

The Republican National Convention at Minneapolis finished its work on Friday last by the nomination of Benj. Harrison for President and White- law Reid for Vice-President. Harrison received 5S5 votes. There were 904 votes in the convention, making 453 votes necessary for a choice. But two candidates were regularly placed in nomination = Harrison and Blaine - though the vote stood: Harrison, 5S5; Blaine, 1892; Mckinley 1S2, and three or four scattering votes for Reed and Lincoln.
 Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, was the only candidate for second place on the ticket, and was nominated by exclamation.
 The full text of the platform is here given as follows:
 The representatives of the Republi- cans of the United States, assembled in general convention on the shores of the Mississippi river, the everlasting bond of an indestructable republic, whose most glorious chapter of history is the record of the Republican party, con gratulate their .countrymen on the majestic march of the nation under the banner inscribed with the principles of our platform of 1888, vindicated by victory at the polls and prosperity in the fields, workshops and mines; and make the following declaration of prin. ciples:
 We reafiirm the American doctrine of protection; we call attention to its growth abroad; we maintain that the | prosperous condition of our country is largely due to the wise revenue legisla. ton of Republican Congress; we be- lieve that all articles which cannot bt produced in the United States, except luxuries, should be admitted free ot duty, and that on all imports coming into competition with the products oj American labor there should be levie, duties equal to inc difference between wages abroad and at home; we assert that the prices of manufactured article: of general consumption have been re duced under the operations of the tariff act of 1890; we denounce the efforts o the Democratic majority of the Hous, of Representatives to destroy our tariff
 avs piecemeals as is manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead and leat ores, the chief products of number o States, and we ask the people for theil judgment thereon.
 We point to the success of the Re publican policy of reciprocity, under which our export trade has been vastly increased and new and enlarged markets have been opened for the pro ducts of our farms and workshops; wi remind the people of the bitter oppo sition of the Democratic party to this practical business measure, and clain that executed by a Republican admins tration our present laws will eventually give us control of the trade of ths world.
 The American people from tradition and interest, favor bimetallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and pn, der such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the main. tenance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power of a dollar, whether silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interests of the pro. ducers of the country, it's farmers and workingmen, demand that every dollar paper or coin--issued by the govern ment shall be as good as another; we commend the wise and patriotic steps already taken by our government to secure an international conference to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value between gold and silver for use as money throughout the world.
 We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free ank unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast; that such laws shall be enacted and enforced as will secure to every citizen, be he rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black, this soverign right, guaranteed by the constitution. The free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal representation of all the people, as well as their just and equal protection under the laws, are the foundation of our republican institu- tious, and the party will never relcnt its efforts until the integrity of the ballot and the purity of the elections shall be fully guaranteed and protected in every State.
 We denounce the continued inhuman outrages perpetrated upon American
