Was Brigham Young a Republican as Governor of Utah Territory?
No. The Republican Party in the United States had not yet been formed when Brigham Young was appointed the Governor of Utah Territory, it was created several years into his term. (The Republican Party began in 1854, Brigham Young was governor from 1851-1858) During the time that Brigham Young was Governor, there were actually no political parties in Utah. Since the population was nearly 100% Mormon, and local leadership was often self-appointed or appointed by the church, politics was practically non-existant and completely irrelevant. Prior to moving to Utah, we have no record of what Brigham Young's political leanings were. Later in life he gave a sermon stating that "the religion of heaven would clear hearts of all political rubbish" and that regarldess of what party they are affiliated with, those who practice true Christianity will vote together, making it appear that he still felt political parties were irrelevant. In fact, political parties among Mormons in Utah didn't really come to be until about 1870, with the formation of the People's Party in response to the recent formation of the non-Mormon Liberal Party. Brigham Young and one of his sons both appeared as supporters of the People's Party in the 1876 Municipal Election (almost 20 years after Brigham's term as Governor had ended). In 1890 the People's Party was disbanded and Mormon Church leaders attepted to direct equal amounts of the membership to join the Democratic and Republican parties in an attempt to show support for national politics in order to gain statehood for Utah. It was understood that if most Mormons joined either party, it would essentially become the new People's Party and jeopardize their statehood bid.

Who created the elephant icon that represents Republican Party?
The traditional mascot of the party is the elephant.A political cartoon by Thomas Nast, published in Harper's Weekly on November 7, 1874, is considered the first important use of the symbol, and popularized the symbol.As symbol of the Republican party, the elephant represented Nast's political sentiments toward his own party, and also some of his despair that some of the qualities associated with that party seemed to be waning.Nast wasn't the first to use this symbol of the Republican Party. His first drawing of the elephant symbol occurred in 1874, but some of Lincoln's campaign materials had a picture of an elephant too, and another cartoon depicting the party as an elephant was popularly viewed in 1872.Nast's initial drawing of this symbol of the Republican Party occurred in a cartoon titled "The Third Panic," and it depicts the elephant as bounding into a pit across broken boards with the words inflation, reform, and repudiation written on them. Nast's drawing represents his view of the party's decline, especially in light of a financial panic at the time. According to Nast, the Republicans were falling victim to scare tactics of the Democrats and abandoning their party's platform.Prior to Nast's use of the elephant, the eagle had been a common symbol of the Republican party, but in part due to Nast' prowess as a cartoonist, the elephant replaced the eagle in short order, and the Republican party officially adopted the large animal as its symbol. Though Nast's depiction was not that flattering and emphasized his own worries about a changing party, the elephant was still a large animal, and thought to have both dignity and strength. These qualities were considered admirable.From the Official Republican National Committee website:"The symbol of the Republican Party is the elephant. During the mid term elections way back in 1874, Democrats tried to scare voters into thinking President Grant would seek to run for an unprecedented third term. Thomas Nast, a cartoonist for Harper's Weekly, depicted a Democratic jackass trying to scare a Republican elephant - and both symbols stuck."
Why did the Democratic Party choose a donkey for their mascot?
They didn't so much choose it as decided to go along with what someone else was using to represent them.The first time the donkey was used in connection with the Democratic party was during Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign when his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" (Jackson the jackass). Jackson turned it around and used it as his own symbol on his campaign posters. His opponents used it again to characterize his stubbornness in refusing to re-charter the national bank. It got dredged up again after he left office but still though of himself as the leader of the Democratic party. In a political cartoon, Jackson was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon, published in 1837, was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass." In this case the donkey was representing the Democratic party rather than Jackson - the first time the donkey actually represented the party rather than a member of the party.Years later (starting around 1870) the famous political cartoonist Thomas Nast used a donkey to represent the Democratic party and party members in his cartoons. His cartoons are also established the Elephant as the symbol of the Republican party. It is unlikely that Nast ever saw the Jackson cartoons since he didn't emigrate to the US with his parents until 1940 when he was six.
