The President to-night has a dream: - He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: - He is a very common-looking man. The President replied: - The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them. ✨ Attributed in Letters of John Hay and Extracts from Diary, vol. 1 by John Hay, (pp. 142-143), 1908.
