Although a Democrat, John H. Behan (1844-1912) was appointed sheriff of Cochise County by a Republican territorial governor of Arizona, John C. Fremont. This was because the territorial legislature was controlled by Democrats, who had to approve the choice. Fremont (1813-1890) was himself an appointee of Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes. The famed explorer was the first presidential nominee of the Republican party in 1856.
