Molmotidnipgen, a liberal Swedish
daily. makes the following comment
on the Norwegian elections: ...The re-
suit Of the elections III Kristiania has
been received with great re loicing d
Sweden, BY the conservative and the
liberal press alike. The 9Rightists
have recovered the capital city, that
capital city which up to 1894 was the
stronghold Of the Rightists, but which
at. that time was captured BY the Left
lists. The result in Krstiania is the
more remarkable because this.w the
first election, held under the gen or al
suffrage law, and the reat mass Of Ia
borcrs nligh have been expected to
support the Leftists. Ola total of 49,
600 voters, only abulats25 900 took part
IN the elections, al this explains the
result to some extent The real ex-
PLANTATION. however, may be found in
the fact that the Leftists had put up
all the members of the ca binet as can
idatcs for members of the storthing,
but that Kristiania did not want to
support the cabikct by electing its
members to Offices. For aside from
all political questions, Kristiania is
very hostile to the Steen cabinet,
which has transferred the headquar-
tiers OF the fisheries department to
Bergen and located the high school of
technology at Trondh jem. which acts
have profoundly wounded the pride Of
Kristiania as the country's capital city
and main center of, culture. To this
must be added that " erdens Gang, the
Leftist organ and the most powerful
paper in the country, for . year past
has been attacking the present Left
lists and Leftist cabinet. The elections
in Kristiania, however, do not present
any great cause for rejoicing, The
four votes which the Rightists thus
gain in the storthing will exert no in
huence whatever upon the result as a
whole, the Rightists having suffered a
crushing defeat throughout the rest
of the country. Still, the Steen min-
istry may take the elections in Kris
tiania as "a vote of censure-Whichit
certainly is-and resign. But even in
that case the Leftists would have the
privilege of installing new cabinet.
and Mr.. .Hagerup, the able and ener-
getic leader Of the Rightists, would
have to wait some time before moving
into the government building" The
