both politicians and people, beginning TO
realize that their demands could not be granted If
the union to be maintained. He knew from
personal experiences while travelling in Norway

feelings for Sweden, and he positive that If a
political hothead should in the future propose any
thing tending toward the dissolution Of the union
ma iority of the Norwegians would oppose il.

Iitical social and commercial questions or the
