HAS ALWAYS BEEN DOUBTFUL Chances Are Favorable, How ever, to Republican ltoot Talked of for Governor of Sew York. Washington. July 8. (Special.) Now that both of the great parties and, for that matter, the two smaller ones have named their presidential candidates, the question of vote-getting will come up, and politicians are already figuring on the possibility of the democrats gaining strength enough to elect .their man. As Indiana Is one of the states where the battle will be furiously waged, Its past record will prove of Interest Indiana has not gone democratic since 1S92, and In that democratic record-breaking year It gave but a plurality of T.125. However, In those figures one must recognise the fact that the populist vote was 23.203. Four years later, when both democrats and populists voted for Bryan, the repub lican plurality was 18.1S1. but about 10,000 prohibition votes were cast that year with one or the other of the great parties, the prohibitionists vote for president In 1891 having been 13,- 050 and In 1896 only 3,058. As the democratic vote In 1896 was about 40.000 larger than In 1S92, and the republican vote about 68,000 larger, probably the bulk of these 10,000 pro hibition votes went to the republicans. From these figures it will be seen that a change of 30,000 or even more votes in Indiana in the course of four years is not remarkable. - I Indiana gave McKlnley a plurality of 26.470 In 1900, when both the re publicans and the democrats had the the aggregate of the democrats being 309.584, and of the republicans 333, 063. T.hat year the prohibition strength returned to about what It had been In 1892, the exact prohibition figures for 1900 being 13,718. Two years ago, in the election for secretary of state, the republicans polled a plurality of 35,554, but that was due in part to the larger stay-at-home vote among the democrats, who polled over 46,000 less votes than In 1900, while the repub licans polled about 34,000 less votes. Accordingly, the normal republican majority which Indiana democrats have to overcome this year Is not 85, 000, as one hears frequently, but about 26.000. The enormous campaign funds poured Into that state In the last two presidential years, as against a dem ocratic exchequer almost empty, are considered the reason for regarding Indiana as fairly good fighting ground. The vacillation of Indiana between the two parties back in the '70s and the '80s, before the intense modern methods In politics prevailed and when the voting population was about a third less than now, showed a change which the slates of the politicians as well as publlo sentiment, may changs materially. KNOWS WHERE TREASURE IS. Rhode Island Man Claims Knowledge of Fabulous Deposit Victoria, July 9. The mystery of the famous burled treasure of Coco Island, object of many a romantic quest ending In failure, and discour agement and ridicule for the wealth hunters, Is solved at last. Yet If Cap tain James Brown, of 100 Wellington avenue, Augurn, & I., writes the truth, the boxes and bags of gold and stiver coin, caskets of previous gold and sti ver, etc.. have merely shifted their al luring magnetism; for Captain Brown avers that as long ago as in 1849 he personally assisted In a successful search of Cocoa Island, participated In the exhumation of the burled store of Peruvian wealth, and bore a hand In their removal to another palm-plumed Island In the tropical Pacific, where they are still safely hidden. Captain Brown further declares that he la now the sole survivor of the party officiat ing at the second burial of the II odd millions In the treasure trove, and he Is now ready to head an expedition with the recovery of the burled wealth for Its purpose. In a letter to Collector of Customs John C. Newbury of this city, he writes: "I know that seevral expeditions have been fitted out from your place for the famous Cocoa Island treasure. The last one, I believe, was the brig Btnkely, which failed to find It. The reason It cannot be found Is that It Is no longer on Cocoa Island. It was there once, but was removed from there In the latter part of 1849, and planted on another Island of the South Pacific and I was one of the men who moved it and the only one living now who knows where it Is. Will you be kind enough to show this letter to any one whom you think would be Inter ested. I want to start another expe dition for the treasure, and would be glad to communicate with anyone In the matter." Captain Brown does not explain why the treasure should have been so long cached the second time, nor why. possessed of such a secret, he should have so long delayed enriching him self, or now require assistance In the organisation of a recovery expedU tlon. Hence It Is that Victorians with firm abiding faith In the treasure, are nevertheless a trifle shy as to Joining In another proposed expedition of re covery. There have been quite a score of searches of Cocos to date, Involving millions expenditure, the largest equipped with a variety of electrical finders and other novel scientific ap pliances. These many fortune hunts have ex tended through the past two score years, the most recent and notable be ing conducted by Admiral Palllser, of the British navy, who utilised upward of several hundred bluejackets, engi neers, etc.. In his expedition with the first-class cruiser Amphlon five or six years ago, succeeded In uncovering an Immense stone trapdoor, iron-hinged precisely as promised in an ancient Spanish document of which he had become possessed, and then was barred from further search by expiration of the time at his disposal, coincident with a tropical storm and avalanche which burled the tunnel entrance to a depth of a hundred feet.

No one can doubt that the ten dency toward the republicans is stronger In Hooslerlsm now than in earlier days, but If the democrats are fortunate enough to be united this year the margin promises to be close enough to hold republican boasting In abevance till after the votes are counted. . Root for Governor. New Yorkers who went to the Chi caaro convention tamea a great aeai about the probability of ex-Secretary Root being the republican nominee for governor this year. They say that the ex-secretary has now been urged to the point where he is In a more will ing frame of mind, and there are many who believe he can be persuaded to accept the nomination. Senator Piatt s followers are confident that they can swing the state convention In oppo sition to Governor and Chairman Odell if only they can secure assur ance from Mr. Root that he will ac cept His fitness for the office Is so generally recognized that the dele gates will be eager to name him. The same New Yorkers are confi dent that the democratic nominee would be John B. Stanchfleld, who made an unsuccessful race for gov ernor four years ago. Neither candi date for governor In New York will be nominated for several weeks, during the barkentine Blakely to take up the search.
