THE GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

LONDON. July 9.-Thc weather in London this
morning bright and fine and not too hot for the
grand review of volunteers by the Queen in the
Great Park at Windsor. The occasion was observed
as an almost complete holiday. The utmost in
tcrcst was felt in the review by all classes rnd il s
anticipated that 100000 spectators Will go to
Windsor to-day. The number Of volunteers parici-
pating is 2,000-inuch the largest ever hitherto
assembled The review was regarded as an expert
mcnt to test the possibility Of the rapid conconra
uon of volunteer troops of whom there are about
100000 IN the Island of Great britain.
The two lines of railway-the Great Western and
the Southw eseTi-had to do all the transportation
from London. The troops fell into line about 3

ALBANY, July 9.-Mr. Conkling's supporters are
greatly elated ~ the success of their scheme to de-
feat the election of United States senators IL their
speeches three Of the Conlling mcn, Senators Astor
Strlha. and Winslow, promised on behalf
of Their associates that If another caucus WAS
held the Conkling men would atteud il. The
men who voted for the caucus nominees show no
disposition to hold another caucus. If they
should do SO fer the sake OF the Repub hcan party
their disposition toward Mr.. CorhinC's sup
portors may he imagined for it can
not be adequately described storm of
angry comment has been raging among them since
the adjournment of the convention. Mr. Conhlng's
bitter sel.shnes,, and that of his supporters have
been described in strong terms. They have been de-
nonnccd standing i'll the way of that
peace which the Republican voters of the
State much desire, of preferring to give the next
Legislature 80 tho Democratic party rather than
have Mr. Conklng defeated. of in all things de-
manding their OWL way although the Republican
party might suffer by their uncompromisirg course

Apparently the Conkling leaders thought to-day
that Nj. Wheeler can give them the needed votes.
1t is amusing to read on the tally sheet that the
following nineteen Conkling under this deusion
voted for Mr.. Wheeler.

Every one acquainted with the Administration
canvass knows that Mr.. Wheeler's strength a can
Cidac was fictitious. Most of his support was fur
nisbed him by Mr.. Depew. There We're only three
or four members of the Legislature, men COM
ing from ST. Lawrence and Franklin Counties
who were in earnest in supporting him, and il is
only the votes of these men upon whom NJ Conh-
ling could lean for support if he should make com
