I The unexpected strength of this' element in Ohio and Iowa showed the oxisttneeof considerable dissatisfaction dissatisfac-tion with the old parties. Should a similar state of things exist iu the olections of Tuesday next the result will depend upon the numbers drawn from tho two leading parties by the I workingmeo. Iu Ohio the republicans republi-cans lost more largely from this cause than the democrats; iu other states the reverse may be the case. The result in New York is doubtful. In New Jersey Gen. McClellan will almost certainly be elected governor. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Wisconain are regarded as doubtful states with chances favoring the democrats. The grand result of the elections ot the year, although not ot national importance, save in the few cases where United States senators are to be chosen, will have some effect on the future of parties, and more or less influence on the legislation of the present congress. |
