Default New starter problem

A gotta 96 Cherokee and my starter went out yesterday so I took it off and ran up to O'reillys to get a new one. I was installing it today and as soon as I hooked up the battery the starter kicked on and ran until I disconnected the battery. I reinstalled it and it did the same thing.
