Nope, but that's another good guess.

Dennis Hanks?

Nope, but that's yet another good guess.

Certainly a good guess, but incorrect.
The correct answer is male and has been mentioned previously on this forum.

Austin Gollaher?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 10:45 AM
Good try, Steve, but it was not Austin Gollaher.
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 02:42 PM
The correct answer is a cousin of Nancy Hanks Lincoln.

John Hanks ?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 04:38 PM
Yes, Gene! Good job. The quote comes from John Hanks' remarks to William Herndon in June 1865.

No googling please.
Who said this about Abraham Lincoln?
"This man's appearance, his pedigree, his low coarse jokes and anecdotes, his vulgar similes, and his frivolity, are a disgrace to the seat he holds."

George McClellan ?
I wonder how Lincoln responded, which reminds me of a song by Sammy Davis Jr.

RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-14-2023 04:39 PM
Nope, not McClellan.

Stanton seems too obvious, but I will guess him.

Nope, it wasn't Stanton.
However, in this case, another obvious answer is the correct one. The person has been mentioned many, many, many times on this forum (especially under one topic).
