  3. ^ (...)The almost exclusive "national" basis of the Internal organization was namely the Exarchist population. The same holds true for the clear domination of the Exarchist social elite within its leadership and of the practical support given to it by the local institutions of the Exarchate. Bulgarian teachers in Macedonia constituted the backbone of the Internal organization while, according to their social profile, its leaders were quite often themselves former Exarchist teachers. (...) The lack of diverse "ethnic" motivations is confirmed by the fact that, in his brochure ("Stambolovism in Macedonia and its representatives" issued in 1894), Poparsov generally used the designations "Bulgaro-Macedonians" and "Macedonian Bulgarians" in order to name his "compatriots."
